A solution could be to have a sort of tenure track for employees. Probably not as strict as university tenure, but still enough for neither side to worry about things changing unexpectedly.
That would let employers fire "mistake" hires (whose faults are obvious within a couple months) while getting stability in the long-term.

- CrLf 13y agoIn Portugal, we have either contracts that renew yearly (where you are forced to give a two-weeks notice) or contracts that are "permanent", where you have to give a months' notice (under two years) or two months notice (over two years). For "permanent" contracts, there is a 6 months experimental period where both the employer and the employee can terminate the contract with no notice at all. This gives enough time to get to know a new hire and fix any mistakes. After that, both parties have a penalty for breaking the contract (an advance notice for the employee, or a severance pay for the employer).
