Legal Question in Employment Law in California

large corporation and their breech of contract

I work for a national drug store chain. I was offered a position, a promotion, and was told I would work at it for a few months before it became ''official''. Several times during this unofficial period, I asked for my raise--I was always told that it would be given (next check). Five months later (and no raise) I was told that I would not be able to have this promotion. My employeer sited that the agreement we had made would ''not work''. I was to be given a raise, a company car, and the agreement was I would supervise stores in close proximity to my home. Now I was being told that my closest store was several counties away, and that I would have a new supervisor who would not work with someone who lived so far. Do I have grounds to sue for breech of contract? I feel very wronged.
