Doctrine of At-Will Employment

The Doctrine of At-Will Employment means that an employer can terminate an employee for any reason, as long as it's not illegal (like discrimination), and the employee can also quit for any reason without facing penalties. This arrangement provides flexibility for both parties, allowing employers to make staffing changes and employees the freedom to leave jobs that aren't a good fit. However, it also means job security is less guaranteed, as either party can end the employment relationship at any time.
