There's usually a considerable probation period where the firing rules are much more relaxed. Germany is typically 6 months, for example.

- ttoinou 4y agoDoesnt that make my point ? You can easily be fired in a probation period :-) and right before the probation ends is when the employer wonders if they should keep you (really hire you for good)
- mirchibajji 4y agoIn theory, this is true. However, IME as a techie in the UK, those situations happen when there is a significant mismatch between the interview vs reality - from either side. Hiring based on referrals is one way to mitigate some of the unknowns.
- snovv_crash 4y agoAfter 5 months of being embedded in a team, firing someone who management doesn't like but who is popular with other employees will cause major morale issues even if they are still technically in probation.
- thomascarney 4y agoEven after 6 months, typical compensation for being fired is 2 weeks of salary for every year worked. For most startup employees, this won't be a huge amount, given they have often only worked a few years.
