> For context, the OP is in the EU and UK, where none of the above is true.

In the EU many protections -- depending on the member state -- only apply under certain conditions. For example, employees in companies with less than 10.25 FTE do not enjoy any termination protection beyond very short notice periods (between 1 and 7 month) in Germany.

Not sure if that's a typo because several months of notice sounds long to me!

You get 7 months notice after 20 years of employment. I think that puts it into perspective ;)

I think you're lacking perspective. In most of the US, after twenty years service, you can be fired on the spot.
