Fit in or fuck off
"Fit in or fuck off" ("FIFO")[1] is a controversial phrase [2][3] reminding people to conform to the prevailing organizational[4] or societal norms or get fired/removed.[5] It is used as a justification for racism, nationalism (e.g., jingoism), ethnic, nativist, immigrant restriction and xenophobic reaction, regulation and action.[2][6]
Usage
BBC television news was accused of a FIFO mentality,[7] as was Sky.[8]
Corporate implementation of a FIFO policy in one particular firm in the history of corporations was said to be coincidental, if not causally-related, to a toxic tit-for-tat relationship with a union.[3]
