I can quit any job any time I want in the us, perhaps unless I've signed an unusual contract. Never seen that in software but I'm also not a contractor but a full time employee only. So what's the benefit to the employee to be on probation?
- philliphaydon 4y agoI don’t know about the US but in UK, NZ, AUS, Singapore, Taiwan (countries I know about) it’s pretty standard to have a notice period of 1-2 months. So you can’t “just quit”. Probation shortens that notice period to typically 1 week however most people tend to leave straight away as it’s fruitless to both parties if the employee stays.
- snovv_crash 4y agoStandard contract in Europe is 1 month notice for the first year, after that 3 months. This way there's actually time for handover and employers can better invest in and give responsibility to their employees.
