You're saying that in France it's against the law to fire someone for performance related reasons?

  Employers in France need valid grounds, which may be personal or economic. Personal grounds includes poor performance. Easier said than done though, it requires a lot of documentation proving that the employer provided sufficient training/retraining to improve performance, regular documented meetings to discuss performance problems, etc. If the worker stops showing up to work at all it becomes easier, but if the worker wants to drag out the process they can.

    That sounds perfectly reasonable to me, and is a far cry from the OP's assertion.

      only if the employee plays ball. all they need to do is go to the doctor, say that they're burned out, and no amount of poor performance reviews will be enough. the next step will be a negotiation between employer and employee

  You can fire someone in France for poor performance. But it's not like in the US where you just declare this, and then fire them. It works like in many union shops in the US. You need to document that poor performance, show missed deadlines, show that you attempted to train and accommodate them, give them a few months of heads up to adjust, and then you can proceed with dismissal. Just think of France as an all-hands union shop.
