US is an exception in terms of at-will employment.
In most other countries you cannot fire people just for reasons like this.
In other countries people have to resort to backhanded ways like the parent comment mentioned if you want to get someone off the payroll.

- jenscow 2y agoThat's "constructive dismissal", which is not allowed. Firing for "performance" is ok in the first year or two (country specific)
- teitoklien 2y ago> "constructive dismissal", which is not allowed. I agree, but a lot of things that are not allowed but happen frequently. Doesnt matter what the law says is illegal, unless its enforced. Im not saying its a good thing to resort to such toxic measures. Parent comment said it is evil and should not be done, I just mentioned the reality that in most countries its one of the classical tried and tested method to bypass employment safety laws that almost rarely gets backlash. I myself dislike such toxic behaviour, but just stating the reality of what happens.
- _puk 2y agoAnd those countries generally have laws against constructive dismissal (which is what a lot of these "persecute then until they quit" recommendations amount to)
