noun

fir·​ee ˌfī-ˈrē 

plural firees

: a person who has been fired from a job

Don't be afraid to look for work in a new industry or consider a new type of job. Some firees have given rein to their entrepreneurial instincts.

—Anne Faircloth

… memos announcing an executive's dismissal have become more concise, mostly for legal reasons. Companies fear that an old-style recital of the firee's many contributions may end up as ammunition in a suit alleging that the firing was unjustified.

—Walter Kiechel III
