Thanks for clearing this up. It's funny how in the US, people rarely ever (only in high up enough roles) get any kind of a notification. Getting a 3 month notice is pretty awesome, at least you're not left out on the curb because of some layoff.

Outside of that, you hit the point right on and I think a lot of comments echo your sentiments:

- Any kind of "volunteering" for free, outside of working hours is preposterous as it is. Expecting an employee to continue doing so after given a notice is even worse. You're basically expecting favors after you told the employee they won't be able to cash out on those favors.

- And so, when the CEO has a 24/7 support of volunteers and used to it, and then cuts the volunteers, there won't be anyone there to handle it. I understand that Belgium sucks in terms of overtime (high taxes, finicky contracts) but if it's mission critical, you may want to have at least one person on your payroll that can do this. It's a necessary cost.
