I am amazed by the length of notice required by all these companies!  I am guessing you all are not in the US, because I have never heard of such a thing here.

My other half has been employed in the southeast and northeast in a professional and/or managerial capacity for 20 years, and has never needed to give more than the usual 2 weeks.  As for me, my employment has always been classified "at will;" neither I nor the employer has to give notice--but I give the 2 weeks, as that is professional courtesy.  

I'd be interested to hear more about the reasons for such long notice periods.
