Europe is not a single country, anyway, here's what happen in France:
Firing is tedious, but not impossible. Hiring people is easy, but you enter into competition with higher salaries - like the US - for remote jobs.
> Firing easily and hiring easily are two sides of the same coin.
Not exactly, they diverge when firing is made more difficult.
- ttoinou 4y agoNo they're the same coin. You didn't get me. When you make firing more difficult, you mechanically make hiring more difficult. There is no free lunch. To fire in France you need a really good reason well justified, and prepare your company for the Prud'hommes trial. Of course you could say "but most companies are big and have HR teams and lawyers dedicated to this, whereas the employee is all alone", but that's also my point about big vs. small companies and legal protections
- dnissley 4y agoSimply put: There are reactions for every action! The most optimal outcome is not easily legislated.
- peoplefromibiza 4y ago> When you make firing more difficult, you mechanically make hiring more difficult or, depending on the law, you make mechanically easier to form new companies or create more contracting jobs etc What you're missing is that in most European countries where firing is hard, it's only for medium to large companies
- tgv 4y ago> When you make firing more difficult, you mechanically make hiring more difficult. There is no free lunch. That operates under the idea that employees only change when fired. And that's patently not true.
- mola 4y agoBut hiring in the US is not an easy process relative to Europe, atleast in tech context. There's much more ceremony involved in the US you have to meet a lot more ppl. your whole premis is imagined, but you refuse to acknowledge it. It's very baffling.
