The downvotes are probably due to the fact that there are no contracts in the states. It is at will employment

Not everyone is in a position to negotiate terms. Very few in the US would have that kind of leverage.

That is pretty common, dare I say almost a human right. It is suddenly becoming clear to me why people in America hate capitalism. I just thought it was bunch of lazy fucks who didn't want to work, but if you are regularly allowing employers to get away with shit like this, then it's no wonder.
It sucks for him, but I hope he learns in future not to sign bad contracts. A day's notice and 2 weeks severance is super bad and I would not have signed it unless the pay was extremely good, as in so good I wouldn't have to worry about getting another job straight away.
EDIT: based on the downvotes many people here could use this advice: DO NOT SIGN BAD CONTRACTS!
