This assumes that reasons exist to fire someone like "Attitude or Judgement failures" (whatever that exactly means). Last time I was fired because someone didn't like my visage. I guess many layoffs apart from economic crises fall into this category.

To be frank, unless you're grossly incompetent, this is how all firings work. If your bosses have an all-around positive impression of you, they'll excuse any lapses in appearance or decorum, and if they don't, they won't.
As a rational employee, your single biggest job duty is to win the popularity contest. Make sure anyone and everyone likes you and has very positive, warm, and fuzzy feelings about you, especially people in power. You will never get stable above-market compensation or advance the corporate ladder without doing this. In a corporate context, performing your actual job description should comprise 20-30% of your effort and being popular should be 70-80%. Your "paper" job is almost insignificant as it relates to corporate advancement -- your real job is to run an effective campaign and develop a cult of personality.
I make this comment after having been excused in part for "sitting wrong" -- the boss decided he didn't like my posture (after he decided he didn't like me anymore) and that this was so substantial he needed to demote and/or fire me.
