Even that is a big NO in most cases. Giving a 6 months heads up is a quick way to get a smaller bonus, shit work, shit attitude, maybe even let go early.

  Here in Germany many work contracts can be up to one year notice depending on the seniority and business domain, so unless you are so lucky to find a job willing to wait for you that long, many have to give notice without really having an offer and hope for the best. However the usual notice period is around 4 weeks before each quartal end, miss that, and have to be around yet another quartal, unless HR and the boss agree with letting you going earlier.

    That sounds terrible but aren’t workers generally treated well in Germany? I’ve seen that workers for factories usually have a legally required seat on the board of directors. But either way, the good thing about “at will” work in the US is giving two weeks is often a courtesy. If I didn’t have respect for my colleague and boss I’d consider giving them even less notice.

      Yes, but it also goes both ways, the company is entitled to have enough time to search for a replacement.
