> In many countries it wouldn't have been allowed to fire him. I'm in one of these countries. If they have a cause that cannot be legally used to terminate an employee, they just look long and hard for any other misdemeanors and fire them as fast as they gather any plausible "evidence". Creative types can also actively put an employee into a checkmate, i.e. a position where no move or any move is a fireable offense. In this case it could be as simple as identifying any part of that email as a defamation. |

I wonder if the lawmakers having made it almost impossible to fire someone, then damages the psychological safety in the company, in that the managers have to start looking for mistakes someone did and using it against him/her. I'd guess this sends bad vibes to the whole team.
Makes me wonder if this holds countries like, was is France?, back, when it comes to startups and innovation, hmm
