Hello,
I was hired by a company two months ago. During conversations and none of this is in writing, I was told that it was a flourishing environment and I had a lot of room to grow. I had no reason to believe otherwise.
The company is owned by a woman in France. Last week she came to our office and told me that I was doing a great job, was impressed with me and that I had a lot of growth opportunity within the company.
Yesterday, I was let go. I was told by the HR/office manager it was by no fault of my own but company finances - they were moving my position to France.
Prior to me getting let go 6/11 folks in our office were office let go, I am assuming there are more cuts to come. Please note the employees cut were also fairly new (I was the newest - the longest standing was a year).
I had the privilege to meet with a former employee who complained about the owner and called the environment poisonous. He also shared that they had financial problems and completely cleaned house a year prior (leaving only two long-tearm employees, one being HR).
Is there any grounds to sue for employment on false pretenses? There is nothing contractual and I was deemed an employee at will, however, given the false statements and other folks that were also let go - is that a possibility?
