UK is completely 100% at will within the first 2 years of your employment, no redundancy package in that time either. In the first 2 years you can be let go without any reason, only after 2 years your employer has to make you redundant to let you go.

Oh but that's like a trial period. We have that everywhere in the EU, just not that long :) Normally it's between 1 month and a year.

Yes but everywhere in the EU you have to call it a probation period, in the UK you can pass your probation and be on a normal full time contract and still if it's your first 2 years you can be let go for any reason.
