Retracted Amazon offer email got no response

Feb 14 21 Comments

I assigned an offer from Amazon and right before start date I got a better offer. I wrote a respectful email 1 week before joining announcing I am not joining and apologizing for inconvenience but got no reply from recruitrer or hiring manager.

I guess they are really angry 😆

    Call it what it is. You reneged on an offer. There's no law against it, but understandably people are pissed, and you shouldn't act surprised.

      “Understandably”? Umm..no. Being pissed off is a very unreasonable response to something like this. The contract is clearly at will. Anyone who reacts with anger to someone terminating an at will contract is either an idiot, a prima Donna, or a bully.

    Good for you? Like what’s the point of this post? Feeling better about your shitty behavior by getting other anonymous assholes to say “haha yeah!”?

      “Who gives a shit what the contract says”??? Hahahahahah. Sounds like your hiring manager and recruiting team have a sense of entitlement for things that they are not actually entitled to.

      It might be a dick move for other companies, but not for Amazon, considering things like the URA quota, and making warehouse employees pee in bottles

      He’s just relating his experience. I think it’s an interesting story, personally, and good for op. Sounds like you have a bit of a chip on your shoulder.
