| Tbf it could reduce hiring friction and make it easier to take a chance on a riskier hire. Also makes it easier for workers to change jobs, notice periods here can be outright insane (3 months in some cases) and even as an employee I hated them. |

| ▲ | CalRobert 21 hours ago | parent [-] | | Longest I’ve seen in NL is 2 months, and it’s usually one. It’s common to string multiple “temporary” contracts together though. It still increases switching cost. As a worker with a permanent contract I have to weigh new opportunities against losing that. And it has real impacts! Getting a mortgage is harder on a temp contract (doable in NL, basically impossible in Ireland) | | |
| ▲ | Timon3 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | Six months is the default probationary period in Germany, I can't remember ever seeing a job without that. Temporary contracts are also a thing here, but if there's no objective reason for the contract to be temporary it will end after max. two years. According to Verdi ~1/13 contracts are temporary - not great, but could be much worse. | | |
| ▲ | CalRobert 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | This seems like companies will struggle to eliminate roles they no longer need if the person filling it has been around more than 2 years. | | |
| ▲ | Timon3 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | The two year limit doesn't apply if the company has an objective reason for making the role temporary, e.g. external dependencies. |
