I Signed A Job Offer In Nc And They Fired Me Because I Didn’t Show Up To The Orientation They Never Informed Me Of. Is There Any Type Of Legal Standing?

Location: NC. I interviewed for, and signed a formal job offer for a very large company located in Raleigh North Carolina. After 10 days of crickets, I reached out to the manager following up about my start date. I was informed he didn’t know, but they were trying to set something up. He then reached back out a week later to let me know that orientation was actually the day before I followed up with him, and that because I never showed up I was dispositioned, and that I would need to reaccept a new job offer. I never received any type of call or email informing me of my start date. It turns out the only notice was on a company app that’s part of a bring-your-own-phone program, but they explicitly say downloading the app is optional. For about a week after I pretty much followed up everyday/other day (I’m nothing if not annoying and persistent), and I was consistently getting told that my start date would either be within a week, or that hr should have sent out my job offer and that they were going to follow up. It’s been a month of this. I don’t even want to work there anymore, but it’s partly the principle of it all, and also the thought of having to go back to the job market is nauseating. If I knew this would have happened I would have never quit my other job. Is there any legal standing for any part of this, or do I accept that I’m really stupid and dumb?
