Things like the occurrence in this article only occur because job termination is so heavy handed here. When people are immediately cut off from their income source without warning, in a society with very little social safety net, they get angry and do drastic things.
In many, many other countries, letting someone go is a long process that involves a lot of time for both parties to shore things up and be prepared to move on without incident.
- suprjami 3y agoThat isn't true. Here in Australia the typical notice period is two weeks. That means if you want to leave, you write a resignation letter and you have time to hand over like you said. However the employer might also walk you out of the building and continue to pay you for two weeks. I've seen this happen here. In some companies it depends on the job you're resigning from. I happen to know my position at my company has the former sort of relaxed notice period, but other positions have the latter sort of strict notice period. It's very strange.
