Austrian law isn't US law, correct. I still don't understand your persistent pessimism though...
What I once saw when I went to the Arbeits- und Sozialgericht was a man, in the beginning of his 40s, suing for unlawful termination of his employment contract, after notice period and 7 months of employment. He sued with the help of the Arbeiterkammer. The judge asked the employer for their reasons, and tried to figure out if the termination has been made through thoughtful reasoning and after consideration of any other options. It is the responsibility of the employer too(!), and frankly in their best interest, to bring their employees up to speed and make them succeed in their work.
"We don't need to state any reason" won't fly in front of the judge in Austria, as the judge wants to make an informed decision.
