Pink slip is an American term that refers to being fired or laid off from one's job. A pink slip refers to the American practice, by a personnel department, of including a discharge notice in an employee's pay envelope to notify the worker of his or her termination of employment or layoff. Receiving a "pink slip" has become a common way to signify the termination of employment in general.

The pink color is even used in the American consulate when a visa is rejected. Perhaps this color is sentimentally used for regrettable matters. That is why the guys in America do not want to wear pink shirts also.
