[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 9642713, member: 32303"] There are upsides and downsides to the US approach, and we could also cover the right to work stuff as it pertains to the US. One of the upsides is it is easier to get a foot in the door where a lot of stuff in Europe where getting rid of someone is a nightmare task if you want to do it quickly so you wait until a proven track record type shows up. That said companies in Europe are not magically better or anything in this regard. If they want to shut things down they just make the job untenable (bad practices*, no overtime, no promotions, no perks, hiring freeze, odd hours...), force you to travel, change the office location but give you the required notice knowing full well that nobody (or at least 95%) is going to upend their life to move to a new city (naturally one of the lesser ones in a given country/region you hired a run down office block for a few months or maybe have and existing operation in) and possibly off their own back or with the meagre relocation grant they offer that will barely cover a van rental. Marginally more annoying than "yeah don't turn up tomorrow" but this is why you pay the sub human slimes that make up the average HR department or consultancy. You don't even have to get everybody to quit, just enough of them that the location (which if your accountant/lawyer did their job properly is a separate entity after a fashion) becomes untenable and can go for more traditional methods. *possibly even broaching into constructive dismissal territory knowing few will have the desire to make a case.
