It's ridiculous for a company that can fire an employee with no notice at all to expect an employee to give them 2-3 months of notice, no matter how high-level

It's ridiculous for a company that can fire an employee with no notice at all to expect an employee to give them 2-3 months of notice, no matter how high-level the employee is. If your company needs such a long notice period, they should negotiate a contract with the employee that gives the employee similar protections, e.g., a 2-3 month notice before they can be fired (or at least a guarantee to pay salary and benefits for the entire notice period, even if the company hires a replacement after a couple of weeks).
- sokoloff 8y agoWe typically do pay severance to those employees at roughly the same duration (depending on tenure in role, could be slightly less to a fair amount more). It's an unwritten "gentleman's agreement", but I've been here 16 years and seen it pretty consistently applied in both directions and plan to hold up my end of that unwritten agreement when/if I decide to leave. Vice Presidents don't give two weeks' notice; that's just not a thing that's done.
