Firing someone and not telling them why with concrete, documented examples should be illegal. Workers should have the right to sue their former employers for BS like this. US has many problems and lack of unions is one of them.

In many countries it IS illegal. In the U.K. where I work, you can’t fire someone unless they’ve first been through a performance improvement process. If you are being made redundant, workers have a right to know the criteria of selection and why they were chosen.

Of course, also in the U.K., you can only sue your employer after 2 years of employment. Which basically means you are hunted prey for the first two years.
