If you had put in the contract time that the notice should is a month (or maybe more) you might have not have the same problem.

I only need to give one week for my current job, and when I leave, that's probably all I will give.

Well, from my perspective I would want more time to prepare for the transition. But putting that in a contract unnecessarily restricts people. Our company doesn't even require the 2 weeks, so I can't complain. But not everyone leaves under duress. My point was, I never see posts about quitting jobs to join startups mention any consideration to the employer. To me, unless I hate my employer, I'd want to make efforts to help out. I was curious if people usually give more than required/minimal warning. I guess not.
