lay

Restaurants are closing early and laying off staff.

On Friday, the White House began laying off thousands of federal employees.

At least part of the blame, he insisted, lay with Stephen pulling into the path of an officer doing his job in a city with some of the country’s most dangerous roadways.

Emily Abraham, a career diplomat who has had posts in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and the Dominican Republic, had been laid off over the summer but was meant to receive paychecks until November.
