Usually it's fear of confrontation and laziness. If you're not discriminating against people, it's fine.
I've had a few folks that I've had to let go folks, including folks in .gov with union contracts and motivated defenders. It is doable.
End of the day, don't be a wuss. Setting up some hunger games "audition" is passive aggressive bs. If you're nervous, hire a contractor and get them on the payroll later. Or just hire the person, and give them a months severance. Problem solved.
That's what my current company did with me. Works really well. Some people are not okay with becoming a contractor first but sometimes that's the way things go.
