Do you ever use the expression "(to have reached) the end of the line" figuratively/idiomatically?

If so, when is it used?

Would you please give me a couple of examples?

Thank you

@paok1970,
This relationship has reached the end of the line.

(A couple stops dating or decides to divorce)

Fred's usefulness in this company has reached the end of the line.

(Fred is about to be out of a job)
