This is a very misleading title. I don't know why this is newsworthy. This is a common thing in Europe for people to be on notice period as you can't fire people without notice here.
- axus 1y agoIt's very unusual in the US, I wonder how other regions see it. Seems like a good thing.
- tptacek 1y agoIt's not entirely benign. It makes it riskier to hire and is powerful incentive for informal hiring structures (contracting and the like). Everything is tradeoffs.
- sshine 1y agoIt does make hiring riskier, but don't forget the 3 month probation period at the beginning of every employment during which the employer can terminate the contract with a reduced notice period if there are indications it's not going to work out, without much risk to the employer.
- shreddit 1y agoIt’s actually a nice concept (imo). The longer you work for a company, the longer is the period. For example if you work for two years they have to give you notice 4 weeks beforehand. At 10 years it’s 4 months. (German law). The best thing is, that applies only to your employer. Employees can always quit with a 4 week’s notice.
