What's very interesting to me is that the Byzantine, multi-day, "we can't afford to make a mistake" hiring practises are so normal in the US, most of which allows easy firing without cause. It's a truly bizarre combination.
- TulliusCicero 5y agoI work at Google, and I understand it here. Yes, Google can technically fire people very easily, but culturally Google doesn't want to do this. Google doesn't want to be quick to fire full-time employees, generally speaking. So in practice, policies are in place such that firing people is actually somewhat difficult or lengthy, even though yeah, legally Google could fire almost anyone instantly. So if they hire someone who sucks, getting rid of them would be somewhat challenging just because of those self-imposed policies.
