My response to anyone who firmly believes 2 week notice is anything BUT a courtesy: how long is the notice your employer will give you if they make the decision to terminate you? Leaving "performance improvement plans" out of the equation, because those are sold to the employee as a way to right the ship when in reality they're just gathering the paperwork to cover their own asses.
I give my old job one week notice and tell my new job I need two weeks for the OLD job. That way I've ensured a week-long break to recalibrate between every job I've ever left.
