The 2 weeks notice is for the party being notified. Not the other way around.
When you suddenly quit you leave them high and dry. Which is where the notice comes in. If however they don't need your services anymore either then it's perfectly reasonable for you to mutually end the contract.
I mean what are you really complaining about. You wanted to quit and they said OK.

More accurately, he wanted to take a new job in 2 weeks and got sent home without pay for that time. Not everyone can afford that gap. What's more, I don't see this as a complaint, so much, but as a retrospective analysis of how s/he might better have handled things to his/her own advantage.
