Apart from the issue of whether or not you may pose as a future possible competitor - that particular issue varies according to the legal forum which may restrict that covenant. Good luck!

You may have a legitimate legal claim if this has happened to you, but employment laws vary widely by state...consult an employment attorney in your local area. Good luck.

No employer is legally obligated to keep you as an employee...that is why they have a probationary period. That is why you can't find the term.

If this contract was completed, you moved and then starting working for them, the contract is fulfilled and unless you and the employer had another one, there is no other binding agreement. They can terminate your employment, "not ending you job for trivial reasons" is in no way a part of the oral agreement you had with the employer. From the information you have provided I think that you are out of luck.
