Sure it's ok. The overwhelming majority of jobs in the US are "at will," which basically means you can be fired any time for any reason--or none at all. Quality employers will actually have procedures to follow, and may even offer a severance payment if you're terminated "without cause," but even then they rarely give up their right to fire when ready.
