My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: CA
I relocated across country for work, away from corporate headquarters, to a remote site. I was assured at the time that that my career ultimately would be back at headquarters. I purchased a home at new site, and have been receiving a mortagage subsidy. I did not expect to own the home for longer than 3-4 years, based on upper managements comments. 6 months ago, I was shared an exit plan for the site that had a 1-1.5 year timeline, that included a relocation and position for me. 2 months later, the employer announced they were closing the site within 6 months. HR and I notified all of my direct reports that day, some were given 60 days notice, a few had job offers. I was offered a position and relocation to headquarters. I worked substantially with corporate HR and corporate relocation to get the details of the relocation ironed out. This was done successfully, and I accepted the position. 3 months later, employer notified me that due to business conditions, the offer is rescinded. 7 days before, I had received an excellent review from my manager (upper 25% across company for rating), and asked if I should be concerned about the status of anything. They said, "no, you have your offer in writing". Now I am stuck across the country, away from home, have no job, have a house that I never would have purchased without subsidy, and have lost precious time in a job search. Is there extenuating circumstances around the employer being able to rescind the offer here? The amount and work that went into the return relocation planning would indicate an implied contract? Thanks for advice,
