| haxxiy said: Absolutely not. And legally speaking, most of Latin American/European countires (I can't speak for the others) have provisions that will keep one from being arbitrarily fired except for serious fault or dire economic need of the hiring company. That doesn't mean they are absolutelly forbidden to do so, just that it'll have consequences such as indemnities etc. to disencourage such practices. Following with a shallow analysis here, but do consider that most countries with such labour laws have average and minimum wages higher (adjusted for their GDP PPP per capita) than places like the USA, the UAE or Singapore, where outsourcing etc. abound. The time has come to move past the notion society exists to serve companies, and not the other way around. |
Thank you for these two posts!
I'm actually surprised by some of the callous posts in this thread. Like American workers should be viewed as disposable trash, that is not what this country is supposed to stand for.
