> getting fired or laid off is a source of intense shame, as well as a big logistical inconvenience
I read this as that it's inconvenient both from a psychological as well as a practical perspective.
You want to avoid shame/guilt, and you want to avoid the hassle of having to run to job interviews, get recommendation letters from old jobs, perhaps move to a new place closer to better employment, get a haircut etc. There are a lot of practical inconveniences to getting fired that could be classified as "logistical".
(the above is just my interpretation of what OP said)
