Isn't giving only a month of severance terrible for morale of remaining team members?

I suspect I'd be looking for another job if this was me.

Or conversely, why is every other company giving a minimum of 2 months of severance?

2 months of severance is to follow with state laws that require a 60 day notice or something like this. The 2 months severance works out accounting-wise to be like you are employed with no responsibilities and no access to company resources after you've been issued the 60 day notice.
