In the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, the term "canned" is used to describe the act of firing someone from their job. This slang term is commonly used in the context of the Great Depression era when workers were easily disposable and could be replaced. When a character in the book is "canned," it signifies the loss of their livelihood and the harsh reality of the time period.
