Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Office life sucks
Today, I was supposed to start a new job. I had accepted a new position with a different company three weeks ago, and gave my notice. At the time, I even trained my replacement. Today, I found out that my new work doesn't need me anymore. So, I'm unemployed. FML
No Job

Today, I was supposed to start my new job. I had forgotten I had a doctor's appointment, so I called work early and told them I wouldn't be able to start until tomorrow. My boss then terminated my employment. I got fired before I even started. FML

Out of the frying pan
Today, after I got hired on at a new job with perfect hours and pay, worked my two-week notice at my old job, now one week into new job, they let me go because they’re overstaffed and I’m the newest hire. FML

Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML

Today, it was the first day of my new job. It was also the last day of my new job. I got a call immediately after finishing my shift to be told the company has "decided to go in a different direction" and will no longer be needing my services. FML

Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML

Hello, Goodbye
Today, I left my job, fulfilling my one month's notice after receiving a job offer from a much better-paying role. After saying goodbye to everyone, I left the building. Not two minutes later, the company who was offering the new job called to say they'd changed their minds, and there was now no longer a job on offer. FML

OP, I definitely feel for you. This almost happened to me twice, but I was fortunate in some sense. I was offered a job, accepted it, and before I was even able to give my notice, the person who hired me was fired and the job offer was rescinded. Life is definitely weird. Good luck, OP -- hope you find something even better than both jobs!

It sounds like you can file a claim with the Unemployment Dept until you find something else. You didn't quit this job.

Based on promissory estoppel and depending on the circumstances, you may be allowed to make them enforce the agreement / promise / seek compensation because you acted to your detriment based on their 'promise' to hire you. They obviously would have expected / should have foreseen that you would have had to quit your job in order to work for them. But considering your wife works there.. it may get awkward.
