Often you start with a 6 month 'probationary period' when either side can quickly terminate the contract. The employer is supposed to use this time to decide if the employee is 'mediocre' or not.

Apart from that you could also be terminated if there is documented evidence that you are failing to perform your job.

The uniquely American idea that you can be fired at any time for any reason is for me utterly terrifying and the primary reason I would never want to work in the US.
