Hi, my name is Justine. I am posting today to ask a question.
Recently, I accepted a job offer from a new company with a good salary and a quick start date. However, on the day before I was supposed to start, the company informed me that my position was on hold due to a review of the project I was hired for. Although I was verbally offered and accepted the position, I have very little in writing to support my claim. The review process is expected to take at least a month, leaving me unemployed and uncertain about the job. The company’s HR representative has stated that the offer is not being rescinded but the start date is being postponed. I am seeking advice on how to proceed, including possibly hiring a lawyer. Any insights or tips for my next conversation with the company would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for being so helpful.
