>"Put yourself into the other shoes: You want to start a business, you have limited resources, you want to hire people who can help you in exchange for compensation and these people want that compensation, but the laws where you live make it nearly impossible to fire anyone you hire. What will you do? Be realistic, looking at your actual finances and human self.interest as objectively as you can." I am in the other shoes, and have been for decades, like my parents were before me. I never hire people with the expectation of firing them. If your having to fire a lot of people through the course of doing business you're hiring the wrong people and need to revise your hiring practices. This is your failure not societies. >"A simple analogy would be you hiring a gardener to trim your hedges and mow your lawn and then being forced to offer him work any time he asks for it from then on. I doubt you'd accept this. In fact, I doubt you'd even hire gardeners ever again." This is a horrible analogy. Nobody hires their gardener as an employee. It's the perfect example of the opposite. Given the difficult to fire people hypothetical environment you propose companies would be well served to hire their labor as contractors. This is very common. And a gardener is the perfect example. A fair analogy would be a pilot who invests years of their life and lots of money to be trained in a certain profession. There should be protections for people like that.
