I agree that the testing is ridiculous. --on principle, I will never take a job where they do testing like that.

But, just as I have a right to dismiss employers, I also believe that a business has every right to fire anyone, for any reason. If they're not allowed that right we end up like France (or worse). --massive unemployment.
