pursue other opportunities

To be fired or forced out of a job due to failure or scandal. The "opportunities" to be "pursued" may include crying, applying for unemployment, eating cheetos, and watching daytime talk tv. A close analogue, usually used in politics or sports, is the departure "to spend time with his family."

In the wake of its failure to meet earnings targets, the company announced that its chief financial officer would be leaving to pursue other opportunities and the company was planning to focus on its core competencies.

little opportunities

Q - Hey, dude. Why are there so many cameramen on the beach today?
A - Cause the Octomom is taking advantage of one of her "little opportunities" by pretending she actually takes her brood of fourteen to the beach on a regular basis for some good old-fashioned family fun.
Q - Ah! So, she's pimping those poor kids out again.
