Only 60 days? Wow. Given how long the interview process can be for some skilled positions (as evidenced by the author's lengthy hiring process), I'm surprised this window for finding a replacement job is so short.
A rule of thumb for dealing with the Home Office is that nothing is done out of kindness or common sense (or even legality). Everything is done with the aim of removing from or denying entry to as many people as possible. And even at this "job" it is mostly ineffective.
