> firing someone for "you're just not cutting it" is much, much, much more difficult. It's actually not. When upper management is motivated to fire people, they get fired fast. Whether that's an individual person or a large group of people. We've seen this happen over and over. Self-imposed bureaucracy is the only thing that prevents fast firing. > it can be extremely difficult to gather enough evidence to fire that person. You don't need evidence. There's no such legal requirement. It's at-will employment. And I don't want to hear about potential lawsuits. These are ghost stories, designed to scare, but ghosts don't exist. Show me the lawsuits. Incompetent people who are suddenly out of a job don't have the time or money to file frivolous lawsuits (which could get them blacklisted from the entire industry). The ratio of lawsuits to firings is close enough to zero to be negligible, and certainly big tech companies can afford to defend themselves.
