3. A company agrees to hire you and gives you a start date. The Friday before you're supposed to start, you send a quick email to confirm which of their several buildings you should show up at on Monday morning, and they reply, "Oops, we actually reorganized staff, and we no longer need you."

Assuming US, is this legal, even for an at-will state? Whether it's worth suing over, is a different matter...

  It's legal in all Europe I know about. There is a probation period, during which you can be fired in 24h without reason. Depending on the jurisdiction, The law might force to wait for the 1st day of employment to cancel the contract.
