Its not true, he just made it up. Its actually very difficult to fire people in America. American companies face a lot of legal issues when firing people. In many cases, its better to keep somebody than to fire them and face legal repercussions. Layoffs are a different beast altogether, its very easy for American and European countries to lay people off because business is bad, and they have no worries about legal issues unless contracts are involved.
