That sounds very harsh... looking at LinkedIn, the author in the Vietnam. In the US the probation is super-rare, I don't think I have ever head of this. If a person is hired, there is normally a whole procedure to fire them, and it will take at least 4 weeks to run through all the bureaucracy - effectively giving "grace period". Instead, there are arbitrary and complex interview steps that try to prevent bad hires. They don't always work, but they sure do make interviews stressful!
