The absurd notice got people thinking about labor laws, unionization, and the ways low-wage workers are consistently taken advantage of.

While all that is true, not letting people leave is involuntary servitude, and only the government can do it, and even then only through due process. You have a right to leave your job right now. You can talk to your manager of you want to, but you don't have to do any more work for them.
