    Depending on the job, that can be pretty fucked up for the people you work with. Your co-workers often deserve some consideration too. If you’re doing something that doesn’t require knowledge transfer, then whatever, but if you have specific and complex knowledge of systems that you need to transfer to other people who will be responsible for maintaining them in your absence, it’s pretty messed up to just dump that shit in their lap.

      That is just a sign of poor management in general. If an employee quitting causes that much disruption, there is usual a direct correlation with poor practices.

      Your co-workers often deserve some consideration too.

      If they don’t like it, they should unionize.

          It lets them negotiate rules about not firing people without notice, and is otherwise highly correlated with being the kind of place people don’t want to quit without notice.

          It also gives them power to be able to make other demands, such as (for example) being given enough time to properly document processes and get cross-training and such.
