Sorry if this is just oversight, but I haven't seen much discussion on HN of liability arising from termination of an employee. I'd guess (admittedly, no data here) that this is one of the major factors driving disemployment for marginal tech candidates (read: those whose qualifications are in doubt). Hiring someone you may soon need to fire is difficult enough, but probably not a dealbreaker. However, pair that with legal risk, especially arising from discrimination suits, and the expected value of your candidate turns deeply negative.
