        According to another comment and the article they cite, it might actually be grounds for a suit in the US too, if the would-be-employee incurs damage for actions taken in reasonable reliance on getting that promised job. I imagine if they quit their old job or rejected other offers because they expected the would-be-employer to honour its promise, that might count as damages.

        Whether it’s worth suing is a different question, of course.

          Wild that it’s from the pocket of the employee though, here it is usually a government department that handle most legal cases Vs corporate, with that private individuals only have to do it themselves in exceptional cases.
