What is the name of your state? CA
Now the story is very simple. Poor college student, me, just graduated, found first job with a company I interned for a few times before. They sent me emails with an offer with a starting date and salary. I agreed and they replied back agreeing to everything. 5 days before my starting date, I get an email from them saying, "was informed that he [boss] does not want to add any additional headcount to the R&D Department until they are in production. And, therefore we will not be able to have you start on Monday. I don't know if we will even have a need in the near future. "
Well what a great way to enter the real world right? Anyway, I've read some of the post here saying these offer don't really mean anything and there's nothing legally binding with these offers. I was wondering if there's any ground for a suit in a civil court for damages caused by this, ie emtional duress or small claims court for 2 weeks wage. What would I need to prove, what are my chances if any, dont' want to be sued for malicious prosecution or abuse of process myself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
