lady me
do you have proof you were hired? contract..paperwork???

If you had a contract for a specific period, you could enforce it. If not, if you were free to accept a better offer, then neither party is bound. You could have been hired and then fired without cause 2 seconds later.

If you work in an "at-will" state, yes that is legal. Bad business practice, but legal.

If you never actually signed the papers, you were never actually hired. If you did sign the papers, then it's up to them to fire you.

nope. it's called a verbal contract, and it's just as binding as a written one. hard to prove though- your word against theirs.

did you not do something you were supposed to do? like show up for work?
