Comment on Ask HN: Have you ever had a job offer rescinded?parent

Comments

Hard to say. Companies can rescind offers for business reasons (i.e. plant closing) and that's legal; but personal rescission is not something the courts like, and it's terrible PR. They'll settle.

You have to threaten to sue because if you threaten to blog, that's technically extortion and you'll lose all the leverage you have.

Regarding reliance, I believe you are technically correct; however, you can certainly include the time that you would have been job-searching, and also the loss of the existing job.
