A lay-off is when a company sends workers home because there is not enough work — not because those people did a bad job. In the careful, older meaning it is for a time: the factory is quiet, so you are laid off until orders come back. Though actually, in American English today a layoff often just means you lost your job in a cut, and you may never be asked back. Newspapers write layoff, lay-off, or, for the verb, lay off. It is a work-and-news word. Being laid off is different from being : usually means the boss says you did something wrong.
裁員；暫時解僱（台灣也常說「被資遣」，但「資遣」在法律上是解僱並給資遣費，不一定暫時）
