Put the work into writing good company policy and less emotional policing.

So you "Don't want to work with a person" means you should be able to fire them for your emotional good? That sounds horribly selfish and an environment people wouldn't want to work in.

Maybe divorce should be illegal too, right? Do we call people who don't want to continue in a marriage selfish if they are looking out for their emotional good?

Most people spend more time with their coworkers than their spouse.

Surprisingly we have laws about divorce that are a bit more involved than "You. Leave. Now."

We even make ex-spouses pay support. Or let them live in the common house for a bit.

employees are not business partners. You can't say "You. Leave. Now." to your business partner.
