Having a job withdrawn after you've got a written contract
Discussion
A friend of mine applied for a job recently, went through the process and has been offered the job.
He has accepted the role, has a signed contract and has handed in his notice for his current role.
He's just been told the new role has been made 'redundant' before it has started, so now has no job to go to and has left his old role and was hoping to enjoy this week off prior to starting the new job next week.
He says that the probationary clause effectively gets them out of any obligation, so basically he's a bit stuffed as he's left his previous role and now has no job to go to.
Surely this can't be right?
