I found this really interesting and thought to share...
You're fired..." This is most employees worst fear, and the roots can be traced to the early 1900s at National Cash Register. Legend has it founder John Patterson sent an employee out on a business call and when he was gone put his desk outside and set it on fire to signify that he no longer had a job when he returned.

Wow. That is a very definitive way to say "you don't work here no more." 
In my country, the phrase would be intimidating but it doesn't inspire as much fear. We're protected by law against instant termination on the spot. If the employer doesn't follow a process, the employee could complain to the Department of Labor and Employment. Then the employer would have to answer "how did you do everything in your power to keep the employee from being fired?" If that's not satisfactorily answered, or if due process wasn't followed by HR, then it would mean a ton of money for the fired employee. And her job back.

Wow, that's interesting. Where I live,as long as you work for a private firm,you don't have job security,you can be fired as the employer please. But if you work for the government,there's a process to it.

And who would've thought there's a story behind this 
Thank you! That's interesting!
I wish the employer or business owner could have use another set of words rather than using those words.:)
