    You just can’t do it like that, because you woke up grumpy that particular morning

    That should be fine though, that’s freedom of association, why force people to work together who don’t want to do so?

      I personally don’t find it fine. You’re talking as if everyone is equal meanwhile, most of the time, there is a subordination. People usually don’t say “I want to work with that guy because I think he’s nice”. Sometimes it’s “I need to work anywhere because I need to feed my children and simply survive”. Those people can’t live in fear of losing their job everytime their boss has a twisted testicle, they can’t afford being jobless. Their lives depend on it.

      But it’s something quite cultural, that’s how we decided to build our society.

      It has flaws though : corporations can become quite cautious when hiring someone, making sure they fit well and won’t cause any trouble.

        Exactly this.

        It’s an adjustment of power and privilege, we protect the ones with less power from the ones with the money. And since it goes both ways, in Sweden you usually have at least 3 months termination period. This allows the companies to find a replacement and not being left stranded when an important employee leaves.

        The US, for a country being proud of not having any kings they are sure hell bent on creating new ones in every company.

      Because people require a job in order to survive in this capitalist hell scape.

      If you want to fire them sure, but you will still need to pay them 2-3 months of wages so they can comfortably search for a new job.

      Same with employees, if they want to quit they will need to stay 2-3 months so the employer has time to look for a replacement.
