Is it possible for at-will employment to be one-sided?

Essentially the question. I gave three weeks of notice to a job, and they're now threatening me with legal action because I didn't give them more notice. I signed an Employee Agreement that stated twice that my employment was at-will and that employer requested more notice. I'm in NYS.

No contact for over a month, and then the day I withdraw my application, it’s magically the day they were going to onboard me. Yeah right. Good riddance, bullet dodged.

Managers stopped giving us free meals but gives a celebrity free EVERYTHING

I work at a movie theater in a large city. We use to get free meals all the time, until about a month ago, in which my manager claimed they had to stop for “inventory issues”. This affected me a lot because I was homeless for a while, and my job was the only place I could eat a full meal. A few days ago, a famous singer visited our theater.

Fast food industry will fail

So I am or was rather a manager at a local fast food restaurant until this morning Some context my store was the highest sales volume store for the last two years in the franchise that owns us but my pay until recently was less than some entry level positions at other fast food in the area, I loved the people so I stayed a manager for way too long. Two weeks ago my general manager quit and took most of the opening crew with him, not a complete disaster yet because I moved some of the night crew to opens and we all just worked overtime. Halfway through last week I lose two more openers leaving me with 3 people to run mornings. This morning I lose another and have no choice but to not run lunch for fear of more walkouts. I ask my boss what to do…
