I don't know where this idea that firing people is hard comes from. My company, and no I won't say who, have fired hundreds of devs without recourse. And not in official layoffs, mind you. Not to mention for the first 90 days or so you're fresh meat. Firing you is trivial. But, even past that, you don't need performance reasons to fire someone. You can fire someone for cultural fit, if you want. At will employment is the norm. Companies are doing far, far too much. You don't need all those stacks of paperwork. You just don't. Am I saying that everyone company is wrong and stupid? Yes, I am. It's become a cargo cult, a self serving beast. You don't need it.
