I live in Europe, I think that employees need a certain level of protection, but thinking that you can't fire an employee who stops performing after the probation period (for any reason different from medical ones) in my opinion is completely broken. The hiring process CAN'T be a crystal ball. This is how public administrations work in Italy - it is practically impossible to fire a public worker who was hired with the "due process", it's even difficult to fire them if they get caught stealing in the workplace - and the results are a disaster.
