during the interview phase prior to my employment, a employment contract that would guarantee me 3yr. salary plus benifits was discussed and the vice-pres. said "i have no problem with that" because he to has a 3yr. contract. it was indicated by me that due to my age and the very strong desire of this co. to hire me that i needed some assurance in case the co. faultered. this vp indicated he would have their co. atty. draw up a contract outlining my requests. this had never materialized and when questioned by me he stated the co. attys. are working on it and one time he said, "as we speak" and another time said "they have it all but 10% completed. i then said that if they don't finish it soon then i will have my atty. draw one up and he immediately said no, i will make sure they get it done. well, it never happened and i was laid off on feb.16,2001.
do i have any recourse? i always heard that oral contracts are binding. help, please.
