Reflecting on a previous experience I had in consulting. How typical is it to just get straight up fired after you roll off a client project?

If you have done something immoral and/or illegal to get rolled off, probably relatively typical.

If it was just a misfit or personality clash or something else pretty mundane pretty atypical.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
