During the Salem Witch Hunts, one of the "witches" was an employee at a General Store. She was taken directly from the store to the courthouse to the stake where she was burned. The owner of the store was the first to throw the torch on the sticks beneath her feet. As he did, he shouted "you're fired".

“Fired” has an English root and relates to the practice of dismissing employees in 18th century England. The tradesmen carried their tools in sacks, and if they were dismissed for being lazy/incompetent/troublesome they were “sacked”. If they were dismissed for dishonesty, they were “fired”, which meant their tools were burned to prevent them being employed.

It could be "You're trash", but perhaps the paper that was thrown away went in the fireplace, so it was "you're fired."

In ancient times when a person was not longer wanted on the job they burnt them at the stake.
