> That has nothing to do with workers' rights

A french court would disagree with you - the German process you described is impossible in france. once an employee has finished their trial period, only gross misbehaviour or an official economic redundancy plan can get rid of them...

You're saying that in France it's against the law to fire someone for performance related reasons?

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me, and is a far cry from the OP's assertion.

only if the employee plays ball. all they need to do is go to the doctor, say that they're burned out, and no amount of poor performance reviews will be enough. the next step will be a negotiation between employer and employee

You can fire someone in France for poor performance.

But it's not like in the US where you just declare this, and then fire them. It works like in many union shops in the US. You need to document that poor performance, show missed deadlines, show that you attempted to train and accommodate them, give them a few months of heads up to adjust, and then you can proceed with dismissal.

Just think of France as an all-hands union shop.
