There are employment agreements, but they typically only cover protections for the company - not stealing IP, no competition clause, etc.

Since most states are at will employment, you don’t need a reason to fire someone, just like an employee doesn’t need a reason to quit. Both parties can end employment without cause at any time for any reason. There are some varying exceptions to this, but it’s mostly the case.
