    You really need job regulations. In my country if you gonna fire someone you have to pay a lot of money, this way companies think twice.

      That’s true in the US too. If someone is fired without cause, the company has to pay unemployment.

      I’ve been the manager of completely shitty, toxic people who cause harm to the company and lead to massive turnover of other staff, but was unable to fire them because they showed up on time and met dress code, and corporate wasn’t gonna pay for unemployment.

          All 50 states. At will employment makes it legal to fire people, but it doesn’t relieve the employer of the requirement to provide unemployment if the employee is terminated without cause.

          It just means they can’t be forced to keep an employee on staff.
