In America I'm pretty sure you can fire someone for wearing a shirt you don't like but not for their race. So in the US at least they have the goal of getting their bad fashion sense added to the range of protected characteristics like race, sex, religion, etc.

We have states where I hear it's hard to fire people, but we also have "right to work" states that allow for termination without cause. And regardless of that, if a company wants you gone, they'll assign you shit work at distant locations and try to force a person to quit.

In the US largely you can fire people for literally any reason so long as it's notmpne of the few "protected" reasons, race gender etc. Just make shit up if that's the real reason so long as you've got even the slightest argument it will hold up in court.

Like if your employee has "Biden 2020" bumper stickers it's 100% legal to fire them them for that. It's fucked up but legal to do.

And yes employees of big companies, they absolutely make their decisions of who to let go during layoff season based on reasons like whether or not they agree with your politics.

If I had to fire a troon in the US I'd 100% say they were just too goddamn feminine for my workplace and let them stew on that.
