is tenure really the right word there? it’s more like “no at-will employment”, where there are laws about what is and is not a valid reason to let someone go, like if there is literally nothing for you to do it’s fine if they fire you. tenure is more like “you can’t be fired unless you break the law”.
In Europe, there can be valid reasons to let you go but if the employer has no tasks to give me, they have to make me redundant with the pay based on my contract, they can’t just sack me. The longer you have been with the company, the more they have to shell out. Gross misconduct or going AWOL would probably be enough basis to fire me, not the fact that they misjudged the workload.

well yeah, but the process is the same no matter the reason. you still get x months of pay.
