Honestly I don't see how that could be true. If you hire me and fire me on my first day for no reason I am pretty sure you could prove that there are significant damages, the implication being that you would not have left your job in the first place if Meta hadn't reached out to have you interview.

If we're talking contract law traditionally you only get damages that get you where you would have been if the contract wasn't breached.

Leaving your job caused you a lot of harm, but if Meta could have honored the contract and still cause you significant harm (i.e. fire you one second after you began work) that isn't Meta's problem. (There might be some exceptions to this in some state's that require good faith and fair dealing.)

That said that's traditional contract law, I don't know labor law.

I'm just saying I think the need to show damages is going to limit what you can recover.
