my take on this is that "2 week notice" should probably apply to businesses as well?

I'm not taking Google's side here AT ALL but it's likely this person was given much more than 2 weeks of pay as severance.

In 2023 they offered "a severance package starting at 16 weeks salary plus two weeks for every additional year at Google". I think Adam was at Google for more than five years, which would make it half a year of severance.

But as I see it he has not been complaining about the financial part of the layoff.

...I'm not talking about money?

the whole post is about "company shut off access with no notice"

and 2 weeks notice is "must warn before stopping working somewhere"
