That three month notice period when leaving is a hassle for employees, being a lame duck is no fun.

Better than being a broke duck.

Well, this is the case where you get a new job, so that doesn't apply.

The three-month notice period is mandatory, because:

- if the employee leaves, it benefits the business:

-- the employee has the time to hand over their work

-- the employer has time to look for and find a replacement, or prepare for work without the employee

- if the employee is fired, it benefits the employee:

-- they have the time to look for a new job

-- they continue working, receiving salary, and don't have to worry about bills, rent etc.

In both cases the employer and the employee can agree on the actual time when the employee quits: it could be the next day, or next week, or after three months, at the end of the notice period.

If you save some of your paycheck no need to be broke

Good luck being able to actually save some of your paycheck. I, for example, cannot because the rents here are shockingly high.

Then move!

My job doesn't offer full-time remote work, and as soon as you move to the outsides of Munich you pay the rent difference in transportation cost. No way.

Why do you feel the need to work in Munich?

There are thousands of places to work all over the world.

By all means work in Munich if you want to. But to choose to live and work in a city and then complain about rent is absurd.

Right. Being fired on the spot is much more fun.
