Long story short, I was recruited by another company to come work for them. Did the interview, got the offer, did the drug screen and background check and both came back good and was given a start date. Less than 24 hours before I was supposed to start they sent an email saying the offer has been pulled because I worked for this other company which apparently is also them 5 years ago for 2 days before they changed my schedule to something I didn't agree to and couldn't make work. Now I'd assume all that info would've came up in their systems before an offer was even made. Same phone and address as I had back then so wasn't on my end.
When I did the application for them after the recruitment there was absolutely no mention they were even affiliated with the other company. They asked the typical question of if you've worked for them before and I said no because I didn't.
This whole thing royally messed me up financially since I quit my job for them and it's been a struggle to find anything else because I left that company and job market is a bit strange.
I know it's At-Will employment and whatever else but I know you can go after them for pulling an offer when it caused financial harm to you. Just curious if anyone has successfully gone after these idiots for ruining people's lives.
