章 61: Chapter 61 Closed-door cultivation

Li Ang hadn't expected that by speaking out just a step too late, his resignation had turned into a termination.

If this had been in China, the outcome would have been quite different.

Resigning on one's own accord meant no compensation, but company layoffs generally came with an n+1 severance package.

However, in America, a country where everyone imagines labor laws to be incredibly well-protected, the situation was not the same.

The Fair Labor Standards Act stipulates at-will employment, allowing employers to fire employees at any time for any reason without having to pay any financial compensation.

Similarly, employees could resign at any moment, without needing a reason and without the necessity of handing over their work.

Some states lack non-compete law provisions; the purpose of this is to encourage worker mobility.

For example, the U.S. Department of Labor doesn't have a fixed, unified template for labor contracts, and once signed, they don't need to be filed.
