expulsion
The colloquial term for the act of forcing someone to leave a place, such as a bar, a party, or an apartment.

dismissal
The colloquial term for being fired or dismissed from an employment relationship.
Wegen wiederholter Unzuverlässigkeit droht ihm der Rauswurf aus der Firma.
Because of repeated unreliability, he is facing dismissal from the company.
'Rauswurf' (expulsion/dismissal) is a noun derived directly from the separable verb 'rauswerfen' (to throw out). It is made up of 'raus' (short for heraus, 'out') and 'Wurf' (from werfen, 'to throw') and literally means 'the throwing out'.
Der Rauswurf war die Konsequenz seines schlechten Benehmens.
The expulsion was the consequence of his bad behavior.
The word 'Rauswurf' (expulsion/dismissal) clearly belongs to colloquial language. In formal or official contexts, such as a termination letter, you would instead use 'die Kündigung' (termination) or 'die Entlassung' (dismissal).
Er hat seinem Chef von dem drohenden Rauswurf erzählt.
He told his boss about the impending dismissal.
You can tell from the context whether 'Rauswurf' (expulsion/dismissal) refers to being thrown out of a place or being dismissed from a job. Words like 'Bar' (bar), 'Party' (party), or 'Wohnung' (apartment) point to being expelled from a place, while 'Firma' (company), 'Job' (job), or 'Team' (team) point to dismissal.
Der Rauswurf aus der Nationalmannschaft war ein Schock für den Spieler.
The dismissal from the national team was a shock for the player.
In the context of being fired, the phrases 'jemandem droht der Rauswurf' (someone is facing dismissal) or 'der Rauswurf aus dem Job/der Firma' (dismissal from the job/company) are often used.
Nach dem Skandal war der Rauswurf des Ministers unvermeidlich.
After the scandal, the minister's dismissal was unavoidable.
termination / notice
Kündigung and Rauswurf can both refer to the end of an employment relationship. Kündigung is the neutral, formal term and can also be initiated by the employee. Rauswurf is colloquial and emphasizes that the employer dismisses someone against their will.
Seinem Freund erzählte er vom plötzlichen Rauswurf durch die Firma.
He told his friend about the company’s sudden decision to fire him.
