In France it was standard for the 7 month trial period and that was just horrible. Just horrible. So many firings would happen within days of the period ending, the barrier between no warning required and a shit ton of notice and compensation. Political nightmare and 7 months of anxiety in the backstabbiest of tech workplaces I’ve seen
