Yea, I dislike anti-discrimination laws too for that reason. They probably worked well for manual labor and the like. Don't forget "performance reviews" and "PIPs" too.

We do quarterly performance reviews. We give and get candid feedback.

I've never put someone on a PIP with the intention of firing them. I've never fired someone that was reasonably surprised.

When I put someone on a PIP it's because they choose not to listen to what needs to be done, and I desperately hope that a super formal message will get it across.
