Your (or anyones') employment is never a guarantee. Most states in the US are 'at will' states, which means the employer can fire an employee anytime, without reason or notice. I think your boss is playing by their company's internal rules and is being decent to give you a 1-month notice. Get used to the real world! yes.

Most states in America have what the law calls a presumption of "at-will employment." This means that unless there are circumstances that indicate otherwise (such as a written contract or an oral promise) a court will presume that your employment was at-will, and thus, an employer can terminate your employment for any reason that doesn't violate the law. Even internships are considered "at-will" unless there are circumstances that indicate otherwise. What state do you live in?

The intent is teaching (employer's job) and learning (your job). There probably are limits that, if exceeded, would turn the position into a permanent one, which might or might not be good for you, but bad for the internship program and the next person needing to learn. Time to leave the nest and fly on your own, little bird. An internship, by definition, is a temporary position. The intent is teaching (employer’s job) and learning (your job).

Most companies have policies like that. If you work as an intern for a year (or however long the company wishes) you either need to leave or fill a regular position. The point of an internship is to allow you to learn and allow the company to have you on a trial period as a way to find great and loyal employees. Of course it’s legal to do that.
