I think American English is the same colloquially. “I got fired” means I didn’t perform or did something wrong. “I got laid off” is our “I was made redundant”.

“Fired” is also a technical term for both cases, in academic/economist speak.

Fired means terminated for any reason to many Americans. And academics, economists, and lawyers avoid it in my experience.
