"Fit in or fuck off" ("FIFO")^[1] is a controversial phrase^[2]^[3] reminding people to conform to the prevailing organizational^[4] or societal norms or get fired/removed.^[5] It is 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]
