English term or phrase: could lead to dismissal
Commedia teatrale canadese. Dialogo tra un padrone di casa e la sua governante. Il padrone di casa, scrittore di successo, chiede un parere alla sua governante.

A: My last novel. You said it wasn't deserving of publication. Why?
B: It was like a funeral procession that wouldn't end.
A: Well, thank you. I appreciate your candor.
B: I'm nothing if not forthright, sir.
A: You are indeed. Anyone else in your position might worry that such bold criticism of their employer could lead to dismissal. But not you.

La mia proposta:

[...]
A: [...]. chiunque altro nella sua posizione si preoccuperebbe del fatto che una simile critica al suo datore di lavoro possa spingerlo al licenziamento. Ma non lei

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!

"Lead" non è riferito al datore di lavoro, "to lead to" è un'espressione che indica la conseguenza naturale di un'azione.

High unemployment led to people buying less
Sitting long hours at the computer leads to backache
