That 1 week in lieu of notice per year of employment must be "a thing" elsewhere, I've seen it many times.

By the way, as I read the summary above, Oracle did meet the statuatory requirement in Canada + 3 additional weeks of severance. Not that this is "good" of Oracle, they're undoubtedly doing the minimum they can get away with - duty to shareholders over employees and all that.
