Name them. Seriously, somewhere. People need to know.

Seriously. This sort of stuff is going to keep happening because people let them get away with it.

Going to echo this as well. You should really name the company here OP.

So not a layoff as much as never started. I'd be mad too. You're at square one, unless you have any legal remedy (unlikely in the US in at will states).

IANAL, but at-will covers your status once you are an employee, which OP was not. The employer may have committed promissory estoppel (depending on the state) and OP may actually have cause to take legal action in this situation.

See: Toscano v. Greene Music (2004)

Was exactly what I was going to post. At-will is a separate concept.

Yeah i suppose. Thanks for the response. Ive been applying for new jobs but just renewed my lease too...

You can always sign over your lease if you need to move. It's a bit of a hassle but most landlords don't care as long as the new guy matches their criteria, and they'd be happy not to have the vacancy.

Often you can buy your way out of a lease with a month or two of rent, or by forfeiting your deposits.

It may be already in the lease, or can be negotiated.

wow, sorry about that. but maybe it's best that you don't work at a disorganized company like this

Not much you can do unfortunately except move on, and find another job. They are scumbags though, but don't sully your name by looking vindictive. Take the high road and move on.
