Mob Style Fired
When a company, more often a large corporation, fires you in a way that has some parallels to the way members of a mob are killed. Usually involving a seemingly normal scheduled meeting (that is actually a firing meeting) where you walk into an unforeseen trap of one or more members of management waiting there for you before proceeding to terminate you from your job. The firing often follows a party, or a meal for all of the employees and sometimes you will not be allowed to go back to your desk to gather your things.
