I'm really sorry OP. Don't take it too hard though, I'm sure the right job will come to you, just don't give up.

I'm sorry. It sucks, but maybe the job wasn't meant to be. You are going to go for bigger and better things! Good luck OK!

The same shit happened to me a few weeks ago, after I had filled out the paperwork and everything. It also happened to be on the day I started the new job when they called me and said that they didn't need me. Plus, it was after I bought a new set of work attire for it. I'll be damned if there isn't something illegal about all of this!

Sometimes jobs don't like it when you go around talking about a job you haven't worked at yet. I get you were excited, but sometimes its better to keep things quite for awhile.

tell them you will need a two week written notice. maybe they will let you stay or you could somehow show them how awesome you are so they want you.

Nothing counts unless it's in writing and signed by HR. Once you have that, if they try something like that you can sue them in court.

Lol, and sue them for what? You're in your probation period, so they can send you home without reason if they wanted too.
