The fact that non-at-will employment is always the result of legal burden and not negotiation between employer and candidate should make it clear that that cannot work. As an employer it is extremely valuable to be able to arbitrarily fire someone, so since there are always candidates that are job hunting with purpose and not just casually on the side of their current job, it will be very hard to find one to agree to it. "I'll work for you but only if you can't fire me" is something only the most desperate companies would accept unless they are forced to.

What I meant was that the negotiation should be on the notice period not on being unfirable. I see it's a huge burden on the company to not be able to fire someone and what ends up happening when you have a bad apple is other team members start leaving.
