It's this sort of thing that has me re-thinking the fairness of employees giving employers the customary (in the United States) two week notice before leaving.
Employees don't get two weeks notice before being fired without cause.
It's supposed to be because replacing an employee is so difficult for the company. Well, it's a hell of a lot more difficult for an employee to lose a job than it is for a company to lose a worker.
If I'm employer "at will" then my employer should also be retained "at will." If they want to negotiate another arrangement, that's fine.
Two months of severance in this kind of eceonomy isn't enough. That's low compared to country with proper labor laws. They give a small severance to mitigate any investigations into violations and not much more.
>Of course if you're willing to burn bridges with your employer, there's nothing stopping you from quitting immediately. Have at it.
I think that's their point. The social contract is broken and no one's trying to make company careers anymore. If you're not respected, why respect their time?
