- thefreeman 4y agoAre you suggesting that in Iceland it's legal to fire employees for having a disability?
- gumby 4y agoI'm saying that as a US-based HN reader, like most HN readers, it's a big assumption to guess what the HR law might be in this case. Does Twitter even have an office in Iceland (a country with the population of Sunnyvale)? If not, whatever the law may be might be unenforceable. I can't even guess what the law in Iceland might be. On one hand, it seems generally a pretty reasonable place. On the other hand it's a small place and won't have the time, bandwidth or interest in passing as many laws as bigger places do. Are you from Iceland? I wonder if they have a kind of default rule that says "in this area, if we don't have our own law we adopt the one of X (say DK or EU)"
