49 out of 50 states in the U.S., all but Montana, follow at-will employment, so if you’re employed in the U.S. you’re probably an at-will employee. At-will employment means that the relationship between the employer and employee is entirely voluntary and can be terminated at any time. Because there is no employment contract, employees can be fired for pretty much any reason not considered wrongful termination, and they can also leave an employer for any reason.
