I certainly believe in giving people multiple chances but I'm not interested in involving the gov't in these sorts of decisions. Guess I'm uncivilized.

  That is a rather simplistic and incorrect view. The Government isn't involved directly, other then the fact that they make some rules about how you have to treat staff. These rules tend to be balanced so as to limit risks for both parties.

    Not being able to legally fire an employee that isn't working out can put a lethal amount of stress on a new company. New Zealand can do whatever they like but this can deter new businesses from operating there. Which is fine but is worth knowing about before you do so. That is all I'm saying.
