It's WAY too EASY to get FIRED

So first of all I would like to say you are the FIRST person on this ENTIRE website that has treated me with ANY decency! So THANK YOU =) Thank you for admitting it's Easy to get Fired. I want to clarify, I work in Human Resources, Employee Relations, so I know all the Corporate rules and regulations, and I also know the CONFIDENTIAL Corporate behavior and actions. Yes, sometimes, some people do get fired for just cause, though we could debate if that person should have been given better support, more chances, etc. as well as we could debate whether it's good for the ECONOMY that people can be Fired so easily also. For Example, in many cases I've handled the employee was given multiple warnings, but the data said that HAD shown improvement, UNfortunately the employees Supervisor or Manager wanted them GONE, so even though there was NO just cause to fire them, they were let go anyway. In some cases the employee recognizes it and asks for a PAYOUT because they know something ILLEGAL is going on, and we APPROVE giving them a PayOut of several months of their pay to have them "Go Away". Does THAT sound like something our employers "should" be able to do? Having worked at a Survey company, I can tell you the majority of Americans think it's NO ok for employers to get away with doing things like that. As far as I'm aware "ticking off the boss" is NOT in the employee handbook. That's another thing we COULD discuss, SHOULD supervisors and manager have ALL the power while the employees have NONE? THAT is one of the MAIN purposes of Unions, that give employees PROTECTIONS from supervisors, managers and HRs who ABUSE all the Power they are given. Obviously people who break the law deserve to be fired, but those examples are exceptionally rare. My point mostly focuses on how EASY it is to get fired, whether you're Tardy or Absent as little as ONCE or because you happen to be the person with the least "sales" this month or whatever the case may be. Regarding paperwork, some employer actually do everything in their power to NOT provide the employees with written proof of their termination. And even for the employees who DO have that paperwork, MOST Americans recognize employees are POOR or VERY LOW income (NO income after you FIRE them!) HOW are they supposed to AFFORD a lawyer? Yes, we happen to know there MAY be SOME "pro bono" lawyers out there, but MANY Americans do NOT know that, and guess what? Unless you have an OBVIOUS "win", the "free" lawyers are VERY unlikely to take your case! I really want to impress upon you that the way you express yourself on this issue is VERY inaccurate IN the sense that you make it sound "EASY" to fight your employer, when it's the POLAR opposite. IT's VERY difficult and don't forget, business and corporations have MILLIONS even BILLIONS of dollars, MOST employees I'm talking about are POOR or have NO assets or resources, again, i'm talking about the bottom 50% of Americans, they only make between 5 to 15$/hour! Here is something else I most people don't know. Corporations and Big Business who do NOT have Unions, not only do NOT allow the employee to bring a "witness" to corrective action meetings, but they FORBID ANY type of Recording Device! So HOW on EARTH are they supposed to have PROOF that their employer has SAID something or DONE something ILLEGAL if they are NOT allowed to acquire the EVIDENCE? Also, employers do NOT provide the employees with the DATA they NEED to be able to PROVE that they are performing as GOOD if not BETTER than many of their coworkers. Regarding your last 2 comments, one, it's EXTREMELY rare that employees get "some sort of compensation EVEN when the employers KNOWS they are getting rid of them for an UNJUST cause. Lastly, EVEN for those employees who WERE fired due to their "own actions" does NOT mean that the ONE chance to prove themselves was enough. Most people feel that Firing should be the LAST possible option! After all, we're talking about the possibility of making the employee involved BANKRUPT, HOMELESS and HUNGRY! Thanks for listening, glad I could share my Human Resources training to clear some things up about the realities of employment in the US
