Unfortunately, most states are "right to work" states, which actually means "right to fire". The law says that either party, employer or employee, can fire/quit at any time, subject to any existing employment contract.

Only two points govern terminations. First, the discrimination laws for race, gender, age, religion, etc. apply (to most larger employers).

Second, any terms of a published employee policy manual must be followed, which can sometimes slow things with a very large employer. But practically, the employer does what ever they want and the employee either agrees or quits.

You're right, life isn't fair.
