How easy is it to get fired at your company?

I know some companies like Google and Microsoft are supposed to be 'won't fire ever' whereas Facebook and Uber are fire-happy. Is this perception true? Where does your company land in this firing scale? I'll start, Netflix is at the fire-happy end of spectrum. I think we created that end 😂

Not true about Microsoft .. atleast not anymore. Although firing someone is a 1yr long process during which the person is given support and opportunities to improve.

Relatively so - you are given a chance to meet the bar and provided support, BUT once you are no longer believed to be able to meet it in a reasonable time you are quickly out

Roughly 10% per year are sacrificed to the stack ranking gods. It has nothing to do with goals or skills and is 100% based on if your manager likes you. It’s a laughable amount of nepotism.

Microsoft and Google fire people. They have to go through a process, but it's not hard.

Amazon isn't as bad as Netflix, but it sure is trying.

Tumblr won't fire you unless you harm somebody. You don't even need to work it seems.
