I got a call this morning from my new boss for a job I was expected to start on Jan 18. He told me the company has decided to go in a different direction and is revoking the job offer that I accepted last week. After giving him a good ass reaming to make sure he knows how bad he's farking me over (I've already given my notice at my current job and I know a replacement has been selected) I told him I have to process this and he'll be hearing back from me. I knew I had only one chance to ask the right questions and that wasn't the right time because I steaming mad.
From searching various legal websites and a Business Law textbook from college it seems I'm SOL as this is a will to work employment, I did not sign a signing bonus, it did not cause me cut business ties with any customers or clients, nor did I incur any relocation expenses.
From the conversation this morning I think the position is not being eliminated and they are giving it to someone else. If that's the case, can they do that? I'm obviously qualified for the job and have signed all the obligatory "new employee" paperwork to start the job. Does an employer need to state specifically how "they're going in a different direction"?
And here's something that has me thinking: Three years ago I suffered a work related injury and was on workers comp for two years and had settled it with a one-time lump sum payment. Can something like this be picked up on a background or credit check? I'm going to contact my WC lawyer on Monday and see what he makes of it.
I've never been in this situation before nor have I known anyone else to be so I'm not exactly sure how something like this should be handled.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
