That’s basically what happened here, except the guy quit his job long before he had an employment contract, let alone a start date.

Anything else would be communism since it would infringe on the company’s freedom to do with its human resources whatever the hell it pleases. Therefore, death cultists across the United States will adamantly oppose worker’s rights until their final breath.

I don’t think there are explicit employer/employee federal regulations for that. There could be at the state level. However there are absolutely damages that occurred and a remedy can be pursued. It’s called promissory estoppel. A signed offer letter is a legally binding document. They don’t just get to wiggle out of that legally.
