> My god 2 weeks lol, someone quits and he is gone the next day. How is this legal?

You're not even required to give two weeks, though that's widely considered to be a courteous thing to do. If it's employment at will (as most jobs are in the United States), you can put down your tools and walk out the door with no notice of any kind. The other side of that coin is that the employer can fire you/lay you off, also with no notice.

You can ALWAYS just put down your tools and walk out the door. “At will” laws have to do with the employer firing you.

Not if you've signed a contract which says otherwise, which of course would make it not "at-will" employment.

"At-will" applies to both the employer and the employee. Either can terminate it without notice.

"At-will means that an employer can terminate an employee at any time for any reason, except an illegal one, or for no reason without incurring legal liability. Likewise, an employee is free to leave a job at any time for any or no reason with no adverse legal consequences."
