Explanation
ลาออก combines ลา, “to take leave or say goodbye,” with ออก, “to go out.” It conveys the idea of voluntarily leaving an affiliation or position. It is used most often for quitting a job, but it can also mean resigning from a position or dropping out of school. The usual pattern is ลาออกจาก followed by the workplace, job, position, or institution being left. When the context is clear, that part can be omitted, as in อยากลาออก, “I want to quit.” The word is neutral and common in both everyday conversation and formal reporting.
Usage
Commonly used when discussing a career change, telling an employer about a decision to quit, or reporting that an executive or public official has resigned. It can also describe voluntarily leaving school before completion.
Caution
This word normally indicates a voluntary decision. For being fired, use ถูกไล่ออก or โดนไล่ออก. It also does not mean taking temporary leave from work; that is expressed with ลางาน.
