That's not true at all in many countries. You can't just fire someone for no reason. It doesn't have to be a good reason but you need a reason. Also if someone is fired because of something that is protected under law like pregnancy they can come back and sue.

True. Sorry should have specified in the US they can just say we are letting you go and you’re done. Which as far as I’m concerned is basically a catch all statement of “we aren’t going to tell you why, we are just firing you”.

You can't do that in the US. They can make up a excuse but they can't fire someone for no reason

I worked for a company that trained me that "right to work" meant I could fire someone and tell them it was because I didn't like the color of their shoes. I suppose that's an excuse or reason but at that point is there really any difference?

Right to work means they can’t be required to join a union. They / you are thinking of “at will employment”. You may get this confused because some states pass them together.
