It is clear you have never worked in a right to work state.
All they need to do is say they don't need you anymore and tell you to
stop coming in. The worst case is they have to pay your unemployment
if they can't make a "with cause" case. (basically 3 strikes will do
it)

I've only worked in Cali. It's only ranked #1 in population, so it
must be an exception. It's at-will employment, and firing someone
without cause can get you in trouble.

Most of the rest of the country is not that way, Are you really trying
to say there were no layoffs in California?

Most states are employment-at-will states. Before going further, you
should read the following, which is pretty good summary.

As for "cause", it usually only required having the right
documentation. You give them a written warning, then you put them on
written notice, on the 3d strike you can fire them. That was even true
in the old 60s "big family" IBM.
For most jobs in a right to work state you can just fire someone if
you don't like their face. The only issue is whether you have to pay
the unemployment. (your tax rate is based on how many people you lay
off without cause)
