A compromise if not a great solution, but it is a decent solution.

This compromise does make sense in a slightly unchanging economy.

Also, if you have highly sought skills this is a detriment, if you have skills that are not in demand, then this is nice to have.

When everyone has the same periods, they don't matter. For e declining economy, we have various forms of state sponsored half unemployment, meaning that you work less while keeping your job and the state sponsors your salary to a degree.

You can also always negotiate an earlier release. These periods offer stability for both parties.
