You can't legally be fired for that reason though.

  In what jurisdiction? In the US, most jobs are "at will", and you can be fired from them for no reason at all. There are some reasons that are actually illegal, but I don't believe "we think we can hire someone cheaper" is among them.

    In Germany it is not allowed to fire someone because you found someone cheaper and can be challenged in court.

      Same in the UK. You can only be fired for disciplinary or performance reasons; or if your position has been made redundant then they must offer you another job if one is available. I'm sure it will vary in the USA in different States.

        Same here, too, but I think nirvana lived in the USA before being accepted to Startup Chile, so that was probably where he was laid off from. And I don't think it does vary significantly between states in the US.
