"Fit in or fuck off" ("FIFO")^[1]is a phrase used to describe a culture or organizational paradigm in which people are compelled either to conform to the prevailing organizational norms ^[2]^[3]^[4] or societal norms, be fired, or leave.^[5] It has been used as a justification for racism, nationalism (e.g., jingoism), sexism, homophobia, elitism, ableism, ethnic, nativist, immigrant restriction and xenophobic reaction, regulation and action.^[2]^[6]

Usage

BBC television news was accused of a FIFO mentality,^[7] as was Sky UK Limited.^[8]

Corporate implementation of a FIFO policy in one particular firm in the history of corporations was said to be coincidental, if not causally related, to a toxic tit-for-tat relationship with a union.^[3]

In Canada, Liberal candidate Jessica Dale-Walker told Alberta to "fit in or fuck" off with the rest of the country.^[9]
