“[A]n employment contract terminable at will is subject to modification at anytime by either party as a condition of its continuance. The employee’s only alternative is to accept the new conditions or quit; an employee’s decision to continue to work, knowing the newly proposed terms, results in the employee’s acceptance as a matter of law.”
