Re: Tesla Rescinds Job Offer
#2I am unfamiliar with the US employment law, but isn't the job offer a contract? Therefore I am assuming you would still be compensated, and its simply a matter of finding your next gig?
Or is this as simple as the offer could be modified and therefore your shafted?

#3This is an interesting comment on the Linkedin page:
In my experience, This is actually not that surprising, don’t find yourself cornered by such situations, always get offers more than one and then keep them on their edge until you have joined. Such is corporate life.

In America, you're basically on your own. Unless you have a lot of cash and social connections and can afford expensive lawyers, there's not much you can do.

In most of the US, employment is "at will" [sic], meaning your employment can be terminated any time for any, or no cause.

#6Tesla is a horrible employer? Shocking news!
Next you'll tell me the sun is hot, or that elephants are quite big.

#7If he were let go on first day of new job, would he be happy? It is an at will employment, got to just accept it and move on.
Tesla doesn't care why you took up the job. May be you wanted to follow your passion or may be you wanted to feed your family. Musk doesn't care. That is the beauty of capitalism. Without everybody else worrying about why you took up a job, we have built an economic system that doesn't let anyone starve but infact has higher standard of living than non capitalist companies.

#8If he wanted to, he could probably sue Tesla for tortious interference of his previous job, since he gave notice at the previous job because of them.
Also, it really sucks that Tesla didn't offer him severance given that he was effectively laid off. Hopefully he can at least get unemployment.

Also, emoployees can leave company any time. And they leave companies on short notices! Cuts both ways!

It depends. Say in the case where you quit your current job, or move, or anything where you've spent or lost money based on a promise of a job, then you might be able to recover money on the basis on Promissory estoppel: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/promissory_estoppel
