Why can't an employer get rid of someone because he don't like him? There are lots of people that want a job.

If I hire someone and pay them, why don't I have a say about who I pay?

What if after I hire you and I meet your wife and she insults me? I am not allowed to get rid of you, and get someone that will be nice to me?
