As somebody from the Netherlands, this makes me skeptical. He's claiming to be Dutch but his legal perspective is American. He also claims to be fired on the spot. There is no such thing in the Netherlands if he had a long term position: it will always be reviewed first by a government institution called Centrum voor Werk en Inkomen or by a judge (there are exceptions for exceptional cases, like if somebody punches somebody else in the face).
- pcrh 14y agoI suspect his immediate superior told him he was going to be fired, and when this came to the attention of the senior manager (as it would) is when the discussion about passwords, etc, occurred. So he was never actually fired... just kicked-up a fuss, and saved his ass.
- mtts 14y agoHe probably didn't have a long term position. More likely he was hired through a job agency or on a 0 hour contract in which case yes, you can be (effectively) fired on the spot. Same for his supervisor. A lot of things stink about this story, but this isn't one of them.
