Since employment is almost always at-will, how is this any different from an employer hiring someone full time and laying them off after 3 months? It short enough so you wouldn't qualify for unemployment in most (all?) states.
- ghaff 11y agoIt's really a matter of defaults. If you hire someone full-time and they're even just more or less average in their role (to your way of thinking), you're probably not going to fire them after 3 months just because they're not the very best hire who has come down the road in the last year. On the other hand, if you offer someone a 3-month try-out and they're "just" solidly competent but they don't really wow you, you may well decide not to extend a full-time position.
- angelbob 11y agoIt's not different. And firing people regularly in their first three months gets you a bad reputation. GlassDoor makes it easy for that reputation to spread.
