how do I use the phrase"end up"?
I know that we can say "end up with sb/sth" or" end up doing sth", but I would like to know whether I can say"end up with doing sth" or not? for example: can I say"end up with getting fired"?
thank you so much

No, you can't. We use 'with' before a noun e.g. 'end up with a broken nose' , 'end up with a hefty fine'.
With a verb, you just use the gerund: 'end up getting fired', 'end up losing your job'. There is no 'with' in this construction.

The above is correct.
You could say "this mistake might end up with me getting fired".
