Unfortunately many employment agreements in the US are “at will” meaning either party can terminate it immediately at will. In states where this is legal (almost all of them), you’d be hard-pressed to find any company willing to do it any other way.

And the fun thing of ‘fired at will’ is that it is enshrined in so-called ‘Right to Work’ laws. The evil would be hilarious is it wasn’t so horrible.

  No, you’re wrong here. ‘Right to Work’ laws are about preventing unions from controlling an entire workplace, forcing new employees to join the union. ‘At-Will Employment’ laws are entirely seperate from that.

  Yea there tends to be a disconnect at the “right to be fired” part.

Right? What is this “Employment Contract” you speak of? I just got told “You start this day, good luck fucker.”
