firing employees is in germany not really difficult, especially not for startups. every employee must serve a 3-6 months test period until he gets a professional contract. during the test period you will see, if the employee is performing well or not and you can fire the person easily the next day, if you want.

and hiring people in germany is much easier than in the valley or in new york, where you have huge competition from the big ones like google, facebook etc...
