"Firing on the spot" is just one item on a long list. No maternity leave, health insurance bound to the job, reliance on tips to pay workers, lack of whistleblower protection, laughable PTO, limited paid time off for health reasons. All of that has been solved in civilized countries, except for the US.
FWIW, I haven't had a job that didn't have all those things since I was 16. I am in the US.
It's not hard to find jobs that have all those things. But you have to be choosey.
If you leave your job you get to keep your health insurance?
