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.
Nah, that is normal.
A company has many jobs, but a person should only really have one.
It is much easier to find someone to work than it is to hunt a job yourself. Could even spread the workload a little if they need more time.
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)
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).

Do you have the Dutch nationality or live in a EU country?
Alas, no. I wished either was the case.
Admittedly I was half joking... but also half serious, considering how much more messed up the USA could become soon.
Yeah in the US it's common to just get told you're fired one day, or even just stop having shifts scheduled suddenly.
