Dismissed: involuntary termination of employment by the employer
Fired: same as dismissed; usually implies the employer was dissatisfied with the employee (i.e., not due to business/workforce changes)
Dismiss is the verb form; Dismissed is the adjective form (also the past tense of the verb)
Both words have both forms:
dismiss, dismissed
fire, fired

@comosedice so it’s correct to say
I fire you from this job
Or
I dismiss you from this job
As the verb form?
I fire you from this job
Or
I dismiss you from this job
As the verb form?

@Jsepde Yes, but the more natural way to say that would be ...
I am firing you from this job.
I am dismissing you from this job .
(because the context is a meeting where you are firing someone, and the process is ongoing/continuous, with various notifications, returning property, final documents, etc..)
