I've never the notice period not happening. And honestly can't imagine why someone would want it (except rare cases like abuse or new salary massively better).

- Other companies are absolutely used to this period, and you already sign the contract with the start time that much ahead - there is no need to haste. - If there was a workplace conflict, most companies just give this as a "free holiday" - rather than go through the legalities of making it shorter. - Nobody expects much performance during notice period, you are not taken into long term planning, but you have ample time to give workshops or write documentation about siloed knowledge so it is cozy for both the employee and the employer.
