Dear Tutors,

After a long break, I`m back to the forum to bother you with my questions :)

Which one is formal and which one is less formal below:

- Phil was laid off by the company.

- Paul was sacked for chewing gum in the kitchen.// Paul got sacked.....(either is correct, am I right?)

- Richard was made redundant.

- Sean was fired for being consistently late.

Warm Regards

To me, these sound very formal:

Phil was laid off by the company.

Richard was made redundant.

this is the most common to say, where I live:

Paul got sacked.

what do you think about the last one?

'Make redundant' (formal) = 'lay off' (informal)
'Sack' (casual) = 'discharge', 'terminate' (formal)
