what a fucking tosser this guy is. This fuck should move to china where he can fuck his under 12 year old employees in the ass and beat their mothers for not working hard enough.

Reeding this, and knowing that an average American only benefits of 14 DAYS of vacation per year (an European benefits of 21 WORKING DAYS of vacation/year), although I’m not a very religious guy, I thank God that I live in Europe; here an employee can sue his employer for firing him/her without a good reason. So in Europe, you first must be sure that you can prove that the employee deserved to be fired and while working for you his rights were totally respected, otherwise you risk a law suit lost from the beginning. If the employee won the law suit you are obliged to rehire him on the same position and pay his salary even for the period while he was fired.
