It's mostly a guarantee that the departing employee will finish loose ends and that there will be a reasonable window to find and/or train a replacement; negotiating the advance warning down to what's actually needed is normal (few companies want to pay for 3, 6, 8 months of full-day coffee breaks out of spite).

Actually the worker does not have the option to do that, since it opens them up to breach-of-contract lawsuits. They could conceivably do other things, but they'd need to be VERY VERY clever about it to not break some law.
