That's not how you fire people in tech companies. Not all tech companies are Faang/American. I've been working in several "tech companies" in Europe and it was not a thing. Let's not normalise this awful, inhuman process like there is no other alternative.

It's a documentation process. All companies have a documentation process when they want to terminate an employee. Every single one.

The objectionable part is the magnitude, not the subject matter.

This is certanly a thing in European companies as well, especially since the employment law demands more paper trail for each firing.

It's just named differently and adds more paperwork (more performance warnings, "talks" with your manager, etc.) before you get terminated.
