    That’s what’s known as ‘at will employment’ in the U.S. A lot of states have it. They can fire you for anything that doesn’t violate civil rights and it’s pretty easy to fire someone because of their race and claim it was for another reason.

      While I’m oversimplifying, basically 49 out of 50 U.S. states are at will employment. (A majority have public policy exceptions, and only 3-4 have NO exceptions.) Montana is the only U.S. state that is not at will (after a probation period).
