30 days (the EU standard) are not really that much more than the usual 14 days in the US.

30 days is in no way "the EU standard" and it's not even the minimum. In various countries the minimum can be longer than 30 days.

More importantly, the average de-facto "standard" in many contracts is longer.

Additionally, many companies go beyond the contract requirements.

hm. in Hungary there's a trial period, 6 months (used to be 3), and both parties can terminate the employment without cause immediately during this
