You gotta be f**kin kidding me man. Ridiculous interview process, people constantly not showing up to interviews (etc. it's been discussed to death), but after a couple of months of on-and-off, I FINALLY get the interviews completed with excellent feedback. I get a verbal offer, and everything gets approved through the ranks (I believe VP level even). I was set to receive the WRITTEN offer today, then the recruiter called for a "quick chat", and no warning drops the "thank you for interviewing, however we're having to step back on the offer". Role has been closed, offer rescinded. Didn't even begin a background check or anything. Is Google next for a wave of layoffs? TC: 241k YOE: 4
What role was it op?
And don’t forget those 3 wacky digits on the back of the card
Should be happy, it’s better than joining and getting laid off in few weeks.
but then I'd have gotten severance
There is some minimum service requirements for severance
My offer with another company was rescinded last month after it was signed (I’m the midst of lawsuit with them). These days companies are not being held accountable and can do what they want ugh.
Lawsuit based on what?
Based on the number of months being paid in my severance package. My lawyer can explain it better than me.
Technically, it isn't a rescind if the offer hadn't been signed yet
Where were you when he had that boring party last weekend. We could have used some of this charm!
Roblox has been doing that too recently. Just a data point. Avoid.
This account always shits on roblox we aren’t rescinding offers 🤷🏼♂️
Roblox ghosts
Google has lost its credibility recently. No more 👑 of tech world IMO.
There is no king of the tech world anymore, the crown is up for grabs, everything and everyone is on fire
Apple it is (so far)
Sue - promissory estoppel!
It was verbal offer.
op is your feedback valid?
This is not called rescinded. You were never offered. People inside are getting laid off, and worried about more layoffs to come no wonder they are not hiring new candidates? In this economic environment even a written offer is not a guarantee. Good luck!
Going to disagree on this one. When a recruiter sends emails to keep me in the loop, saying an offer is being drafted, the offer is being approved, saying they'll send it to me shortly, THEN calling to "cancel the role"... I'd say that's rescinded.
Well sorry but I have to disagree on this one. Recruiter actually doesn’t make the offer. It’s a VP or SVP that makes the final approval and they are the ones who know where the head count is. Basically your offer did not get approved most likely because there are no HCs, if it did, it would land in your inbox. This is probably semantics, but rescinded usually means you got a written offer, you accepted by signing acceptance and then the company turns around and pulls the offer.
Bro google already in layoff mode
