The problem is they have to give three month's notice when quitting a job. When other companies or headhunters learn that you gave notice, they do their best to hire you away from whatever new job you took.

Our HR Department now calls new-hires every couple of days to keep them engaged so they don't take a job elsewhere. It sucks when you hire someone, plan things three months in advance, and.... they don't show up to the job without ever telling you they took a job somewhere else.

And yet nobody ever agrees to lower the 3 month notice period rule.

The workers want no notice period.

The industry wants 3 months, so their benches are warm, and they can handle the buffer better.

How thoroughly one side has won indicates how thoroughly the power is held. One could call it legal enslavement.

The period is for both sides, so you cannot really say

Im my anecdotal experience nobody wants "no notice period"
