Recently, I got two verbal job offers so I needed to decide on * to accept. I accepted *, so I let the other employer know that I was offered a full time job and that I accepted that job instead of theirs. A couple days later, I got a call from the job that I accepted saying that they made a mistake and because they don't have enough money in the budget, they were no longer hiring me
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. May I know your location to provide more specific information? Also, could you tell me if there was any written document involved in this process?
I live in Missouri. They did not send the offer letter in the mail yet, so there is no written document
