Okay, I’ll admit, the title really grabbed me—I had to see these seven "almost illegal" tips! It’s interesting how some organizations really hesitate to let people go. At every university I’ve worked at, there’s been a 6-month probationary period, but even then, they rarely let anyone go, even if it wasn’t a great fit. Once you pass that, firing someone becomes incredibly tough. I think part of it is the long and drawn-out process it takes to actually hire someone, making it feel like more of a hassle to let them go and start all over.

Thanks Bette for sharing. I have experienced the same with hiring / firing, esp with large organisations. The inertia can sometimes outweigh the benefits.
