Hello,
I would like to be sure if the 'requiremtnts' in the following sentence can be replaced with 'needs' and 'requests'? If so, would they have the same meaning?
"He was fired because he failed to meet his boss's requirements/needs/requests."
Many thanks. |

Use "requirements"
Fail to meet his requests sounds very awkward
Fail to meet needs might work but "needs" almost has a personal connotation |
