Did I really say That?

One of my connections in the social media world posted yesterday that she was watching one of the reality TV shows --namely The Apprentice. Any one who has watched the show knows at the end of each episode Donald Trump turns to one of the contestants and says "You are Fired."

Now here was the question posed by my connection. If Donald Trump says you are fired does that mean that the contestant was servin gunder an employment agreement and was thus gainfully employed by the Apprentice Show. Take this into consideration since the Department of Labor is cracking down on the classification of employees. Do you have independent contractors that you have called into your office and instead of saying that their contract has run its term, tell them they are fired?
