Do you want it to be very hard to fire people? If you make it that way, then companies become much more reluctant to hire people, and tend to start hiring on contracts instead of full time. My understanding is that that's been the effect in France, at least. And if you think about it, it's a completely rational response to essentially making it riskier to hire.



I'm talking about CEO's, CTO's, CFO's and the like. People whose decisions have an overwhelming impact on the company. Not Rob from accounting.
