If you have a guaranteed job, can you be fired from it? If so are you cut off from all income for some period of time? If not, what stops somebody from turning up and having very low or no productivity and demotivating others?

I think Japan has something close to guaranteed job, their culture is somewhat different from American culture, it would be very interesting to study.

What that's talking about is quite different. That's inability to fire from a private position, this is (approximate) inability to refrain from hiring for a public position. It's still, certainly, an interesting thing.

I think people could get fired from their job with cause and have a waiting period before being allowed to give it another try.
