that's at-will employment. Basically, at will is the law in almost every state, it means that the employer dosen't have to give a reason for firering you, they can't break any non discrimination laws, but they don't need a reason otherwise. They can't fire you for being black, or Jewish, but they can fire you for supporting the wrong football team, or any other reason, or no reason.
