He got me fired seems more like a one on one thing and he got me to be fired is more of he told someone else and that person fired me. That’s kind of how I see it but it’s more of the same

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
The second one is incorrect and doesn’t sound right.
“He got me fired” would be the right term to use.
“To be” should not be used.
Example you can use with to be are:
“She is ‘to be’ married off tomorrow”
“She is to be at work tomorrow” although for this one “she should be at work tomorrow” sounds more natural but both are correct

Thank you so much.
I’ve understood that they have the quite the same meaning, but they might have different implications.
What about the second sentence? Is it absolutely wrong?

Thank you for your answer.
The meaning of your example sentences is kind of about the future, I think.
However, the sentences about which I asked are causative sentences. In this case, in my opinion, the structure should be “get sb to do/be.”
Is my opinion correct?
