QUESTION
What can I do if the company I work for promised employment until I retire but seems to be not true?

More details to this question:
I quit a job that I have been working at for years. I worked here for a little over a year and now they're shutting it down. Can I sue for being mislead? I have to start all over again while the older ones get to draw their retirement and severance packs.

If the company does not exist, it does not exist. I don't see what good a lawsuit would do. Besides, did they put it in writing that you would have a job until you retire? If not, you are out of luck.

Unless the promise is in writing or other can be enforced as some sort of "contract", you likely were an employee-at-will and can be terminated at any time for any reason.
