What is the name of your state?
Georgia
Two weeks ago, I interviewed for, and was extended an offer for, a job as an automation engineer at a particular company. The position would have been remote. For the last two weeks, all the while I was being assured that I had gotten the job, I was waiting for this company to send me the onboarding paperwork so that I could get it filled out in time to have everything ready by my MAy 11 start date. I was also not searching for work or interviewing during this time since I was continuing to get assurances that I had gotten the job. Then, yesterday, I filled out a two page assessment (check boxes of adjectives that "describe" me), and right at the end of the business day, I was told that they were rescinding the offer because of the results of the assessment. This happened before I was even sent the paperwork for the background check or anything. From what I was told, the CIO, who, ironically, had signed off on the budget request which included my salary weeks ago, decided, against the objections of the two managers I had interviewed with to get the job in the first place, that, based on the results of the "assessment" (if it can be called that), to rescind the offer because of a perceived incompatibility with this company's culture. Normally, I would just accept that and move on, if I had not been assured for the last two weeks that I had gotten the job and, therefore, not interviewed for other positions. The fact that they essentially wasted the last two weeks of my life I find unacceptable, unprofessional, and, quite frankly, criminal. Can I take this company to court to recover damages that resulted from their unprofessional, cruel behavior?
