Hi Martin -

If they did not have a contract and if it was an "at will" work state (each
state in the U.S. has its own laws), then employers can terminate employees
at any time without prior notice, and likewise the employees can leave at
any time without prior notice.

The state where I live and work (Nevada) is like that.  I could go walk into
my boss's office and tell her I'm quitting and walk out the door and it
would be completely legal.  Likewise, she could walk into my office, tell me
I'm terminated, and that it would be it; and it would be completely legal.
