We need to push for more protections like required notice and/or undermine at-will employment in various ways. I’m sick of corps having us over a barrel in every way.
I live in the Netherlands which has much stronger workplace protections than USA (which I’m assuming this image is from). It’s still normal and maybe required to give notice, usually 30 days, but they also can’t fire you without cause and severance.
Notices are logical from a business perspective, they just should be extended both ways.
I also live in the Netherlands, and because I have worked at my current job quite long already, they have a notice-period of 4 months when they want to fire me, and I have 1 month notice-period when I want to quit.
To be really honest, that is almost absurd for the employer.
That sounds very much like something that the Netherlands might be interested in. If you are a “highly qualified foreigner” (Master-degree counts) you may even see very substantial tax-benefits being given to you by the government (for the first five years 30% of your income won’t be taxed).

I don’t suppose the Netherlands is immigration friendly and needs infosec people desperately? :)
(Would it help that I am 1/4 Dutch and really like the Netherlands’ trance scene?? I’m grasping at straws lol)
