In my article I was trying to be brief. If it was a book, I surely could have gotten more in dept so apologize about the lack of "substance" or "passion". This post is just a quick brief rundown.
Call me anything but patronizing towards my employees and other cultures please.
I love my employees more than anything else. They are the heart and soul of a company. My employees love to work with me, love the environment we have, and truly appreciate the type of company we are and were previously.
And about firing someone - I hire slow and fire fast. That is how I do things. Firing someone after a month in a place like Argentina can open you up for lawsuits. And like most Latin American companies the government truly favors employee rights (which is great) more than I would say the US does. You can fire someone in Latin America and it isn't uncommon for a pissed off employee to make up a fake lawsuit, state they made double then they did, say they worked for you for a year, and be strung along in court.
It's an example. Hasn't happened to me. But I was just stating that fact, as it is something I wanted to know when I came here or like any business owner would want to know.

Many countries have strong labour laws. It's the USA that's odd with it's lack of paid holiday time, "at will employment", etc. Your way might be to fire fast, but you must work within the law. You can no more ignore that law in Argentina, than you can ignore a tax law that you dislike in the USA.

In stark contrast to the US, where pretty much everything else can open you up for lawsuits.
