That is not legal everywhere in the world. In many European countries for example, if you do that, your employer can successfully sue you for damages.

    So they can fire you if you don't do our job, but if you leave and in that way don't do your job, they can fire and sue you??

    That's crazy, man.

    In Europe we generally have several months notice period for quitting AND getting fired.

    In the Netherlands the notice period for getting fired is twice the notice period for quitting.

    You technically can get fired on the spot but you have to do something really bad for that. And it's still a rough legal battle.

    If you follow the notice period procedure it's all perfectly fine.
