Let's say you have an opportunity to work somewhere else making 2x more, but you have to wait 3 months. Or let's say your boss really sucks, but you have to tough it out for 3 months. Or let's say a close family member dies but your company won't give you time off to grieve, you just have to put that off for 3 months.

How productive do you think you'd be in those 3 months? I can't speak for you, but I certainly wouldn't be giving it my all...

In the US, there's no minimum for most industries, but 2-weeks is expected (6-weeks in health care apparently). I think anyone can put up with almost anything for 2-weeks, and the 2-weeks isn't even required, it's just expected. And honestly, every time we had someone resign, we won't trust them with new projects anyway, so they end up doing very little for most of those 2-weeks.
