Job offer rescinded after I quit my old job

In the July 3, 2018 Ask The Headhunter Newsletter a reader’s new job offer is rescinded after he quits his old job. Does he have legal recourse? Question I was given an official job offer.

No matter, you can accept a formal unconditional offer, and they can rescind it at any stage. Sure you have grounds to sue, but that involves YOU taking the time and $ to go through the courts, and not everyone does. It does happen and its rotten
