At-Will Employment

Do you still think you "have" to give two-weeks' notice in order to quit a job? Or that an employer owes you the same courtesy?

Unfortunately, that thinking is a little outdated. Most employment in New Jersey is "at-will," which is to say that either of you can terminate the agreement at any time for any reason.

If you're upset at losing your job, try and think about why you lost your job. If you think that there is an element of discrimination (i.e. your race, gender, or age contributed to it) then talk to a lawyer. If your workplace environment was an absolute nightmare, go ahead and talk to a lawyer. However, if you just left on bad terms, be prepared for bad news in terms of a lawsuit.
