Contrary to the analogies being drawn by sibling and child comments, work is different from dating or interviewing potential roommates, in that you typically have to give up a previous job when accepting a new one and if you don't make it through the trial run, you're unemployed.

It would be great if the only reason people could be let go were legitimate, but that's hardly the case.
