Agreed. I personally would prefer if offers had, as a standard, 2 weeks or 4 weeks severance. If the company is not hiring a high percentage of people it needs to fire or lay off, it's not a problem. This of course provides more security to their employees. All the tech companies are talking about a shortage of skilled workers, but outside of management the terms of employment are still biased toward minimizing the company's potential costs. If there were a real shortage we'd see contractual changes.
