I can understand being frustrated here but how do you not realize how much worse you are making it by making this post?

This is going to happen every once in a while, every recruiter, hiring manager, and HR professional should know that. If it happens a lot it's because your interview process sucks and you are everyone's last resort if better jobs don't pan out. This happens much less frequently to employers people actually want to work for.

For those of you who say the employee is in the wrong, fuck off. When jobs take weeks to initiate the first interview, to the sheer number of interviews, to being passed over and getting to the last interview to be told no, there's zero expectation as a hiring manager that the employee hasn't received multiple offers. You hope that your offer is the best and they decide to join. To those also saying this is an inconvenience to the employer, sure, but that's why you go with the 2nd choice and move forward.

I don't know the employment laws where this person was, but where I am, it's a right to work state. I can quit at any time with zero warning. I can also be fired at any time with zero warning. I used to do hiring, and for someone to get so ass hurt that they publicly shamed the candidate is insane.

I had a friend accept a job and when he showed up the first day they told him that they decided to go with someone else and he doesn't actually have a job and they must have forgotten to tell him. Fucking brutal.

We received information suggesting he may be handling multiple offers simultaneously

Yes that's what can happen when you're looking for a job. Get over yourself.

Literally had a company tell me I got the job and to be on the look out for the official offer in my email just to get the rug pulled from under me. That's just tough shit. The company in the post should've given a better offer

your headline is a lie. "not accepting their offer" is not the same as "accepting their offer then just not showing up". to pretend otherwise is disingenuous.

don't get me wrong, this is a bit unhinged but you're overshadowing a good point by clickbait lying right off the bat.

downvote.

I guess they should try to be a better company to work for then. Nobody would bat an eye if a company did it to a new hire, so fuck em. It's one job, chill out.

Accenture is a horrible choice but the candidate is better off than if they had stayed with these psychos.

Bruh probation period cuts both ways. Employer was being measured against alternatives and came up short 🤷🏻‍♂️

Omfg they even @ him at his alt profile! Chuds!

I'll bet the candidate hadn't signed shit. Very few jobs did I ever have anythig TO sign or any written confirmation the job was mine before the first day of work. The exceptions mostly involved on-the-clock training on company policy and such, and often the pay and department/position to which I would be assigned would STILL be up-in-the-air at that point; still NOTHING in writing to confirm it, and 99% of jobs you still can't be certain what's locked-in until your first paycheck. Had a couple it turned-out they were paying a lower "training" rate during that time, still lower than any 90-day probationary rate or such that had been mentioned.

In what world are we obligated to that?

The world expects us to show up qualified, and we apply for jobs we qualify for, working x machines, processes, what-have you. These ass-holes will gleefully wast weeks of your time on policy questions then have you sweeping a warehouse and running a fork-lift on the opposite end of the campus for a third of the pay. There are companies that are up-front about this and that's another matter. There are plenty more that just lie and act surprised when called on it.

I'm surprised this is even news. This is how the India hiring market works. They have 3-month notice periods. And surely during that time they're juggling multiple interviews and job offers.

If that's a problem, hire somewhere else. Or be the best offer.

Wow! Looking at job offers from multiple companies, just like companies look at multiple job-seekers, and then changing his mind at the last moment. How would a mere person have the gall to overstep his station in life like this? Workers were meant to beg for jobs, companies were meant to dole them out. Are there no standards anymore?!!

Accepting an offer, going through onboarding and then not showing up is very unprofessional. The least you can do is give notice. While it's certainly not OK to publicize this and probably illegal in many jurisdictions, the candidate is clearly also in the wrong here.

Well, that's a lawsuit.

Pathetic.

That company's website is awe inspiringly bad. A static page does not need a loading bar and the cookie consent banner shouldn't break the whole page on mobile.
