Would we ever have a chance of tying employee termination to a “reason”? Eg, if the company has decided to end a certain venture, downsize, or is down in revenue, each could be a reason - but if investor releases contradict those, then they could be investigated for it and possibly have the termination reversed, much like many of the recent DOGE firings (because no one in Congress said to downsize)
Probably a vague and incomplete thought.
Yeah, it's called employee rights and strong laws. Those exist overseas, most European countries are good examples. The USA is ass backwards when it comes to our employee protections.
As an example, in many countries they need to give a reason for terminating your employment - pay out x amount of time depending on the reasons given and since your healthcare is NOT tied to employment you don't need to worry about that going away. That's not even discussing their paid vacation time or other legal protections.
Basically, you can't just fire people for some janky made up reason. As you can imagine this also leads to better hiring practices because the companies can't just cut a person out of nowhere so they need to make sure they're hiring good folks from the get go. Plus it means more job security and that the companies do a better job forecasting labor demand since they can't just hire a bunch and fire whatever percentage as a rule of thumb.
Anyways, I don't know if we would ever have a chance as Americans, but I can tell you what you're asking literally already exists.
