In most of the US, employment is "at will" [sic], meaning your employment can be terminated any time for any, or no cause.
Also, emoployees can leave company any time. And they leave companies on short notices! Cuts both ways!

I ended up finding another job with a competitor before my two weeks ran out, but it was a worrisome time.
Later I reviewed a spec from a new customer's previous consulting firm, with whom they had just parted ways due to no progress on the application. That previous firm was the one that had hired-me-but-not-really. It was a brief moment of vindication.
