Japan. Layoffs are extremely difficult to pull off there. You have to show poor performance by the individual involved, and the standards for that are very rigorous. The government knows that unemployed people immediately become their problem, so they just demand that if a corporation wants to employ someone, they have to be willing to enter into that in an open ended arrangement. So unions aren’t the _only_ way.

I'm curious how it's considered a "layoff" if it's based on performance rather than the job itself being eliminated.

America’s trick for this is to let the unemployed become their own problem! 👏
