What do you find to be wrong about this situation, and what kind of protection are you looking for? How would it help in this scenario - force Cyanogen to keep the employees on, and go bankrupt, or lay off most employees and probably still go bankrupt (but with some chance of survival)?

Well. To fire someone from one day to the next is nearly impossible here in Germany. You always have some time (a minimum being defined by the law) of time between the day they tell you of their decision and your last working day. This time is there for your protection to enable you to seek another job.

That was what I was talking about. If I can get fired from one day to the next a company would at least have to pay me a hefty premium as I would be not better of then say a freelancer.

I'd rather see a corporation go bankrupt with their employees treated well, honestly.
