In most of them there is an initial probationary trial period during which you can easily fire someone without providing any justification, and with a minimal mandatory notice.
It goes both ways: during that time, the employee too can quit with a reduced mandatory notice.
That only covers the "if that person ends up sucking" part though.
For the other "business falling apart", maybe they consider it’s part of the business owner’s responsibility to make sound business decisions when involving someone else’s livelihood. Just like when leasing a shop or taking on a loan.

Just like when leasing a shop or taking on a loan. What about running a tech startup with high chance of failure? Ever considered why they seem to be few and far between in EU?
- ElFitz 2y agoNo, I really haven’t. Please enlighten me.

- consteval 2y agoYes, naturally such a system is biased towards high accountability and high trust industries. Industries which thrive on minimal accountability and trust won't function very well. Personally, I think that's a good thing overall. The problem comes in when other countries don't operate this way, so those businesses can just go there (and take your talent with you, i.e. brain drain).
