    They aren’t but it doesn’t make notice periods any less important in contracts - for everyone involved. It’s a win-win situation to have these clauses because they guarantee a minimum of stability.

        Depends on the country tbf. Countries (besides the US) generally have labor rights which make working conditions not great but certainly acceptable. Hell, I’d argue the conditions a business needs to meet to fire workers are actually fairly decent over here.

      Most people aren’t working on a contract. And in the U.S. most states are at-will employment (something companies lobby heavily for) meaning you can be fired for any reason whatsoever, but is also means you can quit at any time you like in whatever manner suits you.

        Really? I’ve signed a contract for every job I’ve ever worked at that spelled out the terms of my employment. It’s not like a company hires you with a firm handshake.
