However, they want to define the speed of that revolving door. They may 
only want you for a year for a project, but if for some reason that project
were to stretch to 2 or even 5 years, they want you to be able to stay. 

One the other hand, the fine print of the contract usually says they can
fire you without notice for any reason within some trial period, and 
after that their obligation is to pay you two weeks pay.
