I’m guessing this has more to do with the US, than the particular profession.
I’m so used to workers rights, that getting a glimpse into how things are over there feels dystopian. Laws everyone would want, and benefitting everyone, except perhaps exploitative businesses, are “controversial”.
It’s very difficult to even fire someone here, and even if you did, 3 months to find something else is the norm. More often than not, you’d also be paid without doing much work during that time. If you resign, the company also has 3 months to figure something out.
Why… Would you not want that kind of predictability be the norm? It’s not a net benefit to be able to resign or be fired on the spot. The only way that makes any sense is to just focus on one of the sides, at the convenient time. Bleh.
