    Default Promised a Job, Then Not Hired

    Okay, so I'm a bit confused and wondering if what happened to me today was legal. I submitted a resume and was called for an interview. The next day I was offered the position ans told them I would work part time for two weeks (my notice to my other employer) then go full time. Not once was I ever told that my position would be temporary, probationary, at-will or on a trial basis. I worked the two part-time weeks and on the friday of my first full time week I was fired. With no other explanation than "it's just not a good fit, I'm going to leave it at that" - and I repeatedly asked for a clearer explanation. I was given no warning, no reason to believe I was not fulfilling and part of my job description accurately and up until the point I was fired, my immediate supervisor (the one who fired me) was still leading me to believe that I was doing well and still showing me new things and teaching me more about the responsibilities of my new position. I was never offered an employee handbook or manual, nor was there a contract or any form of agreement signed. I left another position for this job because I had no reason to believe it would end. Now I don't know what action I can take because I really feel as though I was wrongfully terminated. Am I wrong or is there something not right about what happened??

    Thanks for your time and advice in advance.

    Default Promises of Employment

    Depending upon your state law, if actual promises were made of a particular duration of employment, you may be able to make a claim based upon your reliance on those promises. You may wish to consult a plaintiff-side employment lawyer in your state.
