It would be terrible if it was impossible for us to let those people go.

About half the people on this thread seem to be misreading that sentence.

It's very clear that "just cause" includes cases of low performance. So no, it's not about making it impossible to fire these people.

also isn't that why trial periods exist? as in you have 3 month or so to change your mind after hiring someone/taking a job if it turns out to be a bad fit, for whatever reason, at either employer or employees initiative?
