That's pretty crazy. So if you apply to a new job you have to tell them: "I can start 3 months from now, no sooner"?

Edit:

This kind of clause seems so counter-productive to the employer. If I was forced to give 3 months notice, I'd be checked out for 2/3+ of that time. What are they going to do? Fire me?

If everyone has that 3-month notice requirement, then it’s not such a big deal.

That's the trade off. As an employee, you get more protection against firing for no reason and in exchange, the company get the same protection.

So yeah, when you get a new job you either tell your new employer to wait or you get them to pay off your current contract.
