In some countries in Europe it is practically impossible to fire
people. In some countries in Europe it is possible to fire people
but they would need to come up with N months of salary.

But no matter the rules, then nothing prevent the boss of
disliking certain employees - and bosses do have something
to say about interesting assignments, relevant training,
promotions, raises etc.etc..

If your boss wants to fire you then even if the law prevents
him from doing so then it is time to start searching for a new
job and a new boss.

As the traditional saying goes:
     Employees join companies but leave managers
