I took that not to mean literal contracts, but rather a "contract of expectations"—we pay you X, in return you do Y (where in this case Y is "work longer hours" and such).

If you work full time you sign an agreement which contains contractual obligations. The fact that employment is 'at-will' doesn't really change this fact or characterization.
