It's not easy to fire employees.
Firing employees can scare and stress other employees, create bad blood and criticism on job boards which will make it even harder to hire good employees. Firing might mean you have to still pay the employee for a few months. It might be hard to determine if an employee is a complete failure, which means you might have to give the employee a few months to maybe even a year if you want to accurately determine if they're not performing. It's not cheap at all.
- Apocryphon 9y agoCalifornia is an at-will state. Surely tech companies can learn to innovate their HR processes to create a transparent, professional, and optimal solution to remove a poor hire. And maybe not all poor hires are created equal. In which maybe the cost of training up bad hire would be less expensive than firing them, and the opportunity cost of taking longer time in hiring a better candidate?
