Another interesting twist looking at this from Norway. Here 3 months notice (goes both ways) is the norm, 1 month the minimum. I'm honestly not sure how 2 weeks notice is meaningfully different from no notice at all.

After all, you will have to be able to cover someone if they are sick (typically short time, no notice) - while presumably replacing an employee fully will take longer than two weeks anyway?

Agreed. 2 weeks feels like a number so small it effectively rounds to 0. I am actually unsure of the minimum notice period here (Australia) but I have typically given 1-3 months notice unless there was a very good reason why I needed to leave sooner.
