Proper way to turn off firebase listeners?

I have the following listener:

 firebaseDB.ref(`organizations/${org_id}/requests`)
        .orderByChild('employee_id')
        .equalTo(employee_id)
        .on('value', snapshot => {
            // do some stuff
        })

I always turn it off using the above query:

firebaseDB.ref(`organizations/${org_id}/requests`)
            .orderByChild('employee_id')
            .equalTo(employee_id)
            .off()

but I was wondering if it is ok to turn it off in a parent node such as organization or request?, assuming I'm not listening to anything else.

firebase.ref(`organization/${org_Id}`).off()

or

firebaseDB.ref(`organizations/${org_id}/requests`).off()

Thank you in advance!

No, you should use the same Query object that was originally used to add the listener.
