Not with at will employment in the US, which is the presumed default. An employee can simply leave in the middle of the day and never show up for work again, without notice, or even saying that he's quitting, and as long as he leaves any company property, like his badge, at his supervisor's desk or with the security guard at the front door, there are no legal consequences. If an employee that does such a thing is stupid enough to provide future employers with contact information for that job, the previous employer can give a bad review if a future employer calls to ask about his performance, but that's all.
If I get this right - a company could simply go bankrupt if their employees simply go away?
And all works as long as all employers treat their employees equally bad?
