  • Where I live it works a bit like this.

    A company can hire you and give you a temporary contract, usually a year, but it can de shorter. After that they can do that again and again. But after 3 temporary contracts (at most 3 years) they have to give you a permanent contract.

    The advantage of this permanent contract is that you can quit, but if you don’t and the company wants to fire you they have to compensate it financially. This usually is part of the contract you signed, but it’s 1-3 months of salary per year you worked for this company.

    So of you get fired after 5 full years, you will get somewhere between 5 to 15 months of salary when you go.

    So companies don’t fire you without really having a good reason and even if you are fired, you have extra money while searching for a new job.

    One of my friends has been at the same company for a long time and he told me it would cost them 150K to fire him.
