How Owners Treat Workers

So for the past 3 weeks I have been interviewing with this restaurant group out of Columbus OH. They are in a period of growth and looking to bring on additional leadership. After 5 in person interviews, and 12 phone interviews with various leadership throughout the company, they finally made me an offer of employment. Nothing crazy, guaranteed 50k plus bonuses and insurance. Well the day I was supposed to go in and do paperwork/begin familiarizing myself with one of the 3 locations I would be overseeing… They call me to rescind my offer. Literally flabbergasted, I asked them why. To which they respond: “Well we are moving into the slow season and we aren't sure we want to carry another salary right now.” So after talking with the Director of Operations, a few of their GMs, the COO, and both of the owning partners (who made me the offer)…

So after talking with the Director of Operations, a few of their GMs, the COO, and both of the owning partners (who made me the offer) apparently they all got together to talk budget afterwards, and figured out that I didn't fit into it.
They then offered to Venmo me 150 bucks for my time??

I literally don't even know what to do with myself. How would the budget not have been a conversation during these past 3 weeks of negotiation?
