Agreed. It always makes me shiver with how casually people are fired from their jobs in the US. Some aspects of US society still seem like the wild west to me.

- andyl 14y agoWhen I lived in Holland, we'd have problems with employees that would linger for months, sometimes years, wasting tons of time/money/effort, damaging morale of the team. And the outcome was always the same: the employee left. I came to believe that its better to bring things to resolution very fast, for both the employer and employee. YMMV.
- onemorepassword 14y agoVery true. Which is why I preface my comment with "in events like these". Getting rid of a dysfunctional employee can be an nightmare for everyone involved. We usually try to buy their resignation, it's expensive and a bit dirty, but relatively painless.
