Request to leave 6 months in advance and not 2 weeks?!

So I gave my two weeks notice yesterday. I work for a company based in NJ but in their NYC office. I know both states are an at will employment basis however when I got a raise a couple of months ago they sent me a memo where they ask me to tell them in advance-6 months that I plan on leaving. I didn’t pay attention to that memo so now they were telling my manager that I can’t leave in 2 weeks since my position is a special skill position and they need 6 months to find someone. FYI I’m an office administrator and anyone can learn what I do in two weeks. Please see the memo they mentioned, they even spelled my name wrong. What are my legal options?
