I once declined a job as it wasn't a good fit.
The company that I did go with had some great childcare attached with the position; Anyhow, upon declining i mentioned that we were planning on having a kid in the future and this childcare was a nice bonus.
The response from the company that I declined? 'If we had known you were going to have a child then we would not have made an offer'.
Bullet dodged.
- xyzzy_plugh 10y agoJesus. That's haunting. I'm sorry you experienced that. I imagine you won't name the company, but can you comment on its size?
- beilabs 10y agoWell funded startup 3-5 million with traction. About 5-10 employees at the time. Also, it's not like I would be the one doing all the hard work, that would be up to my wife.
- dandr01d 10y agoI can't believe anyone would be dumb enough to say something like that, after you already declined. This is an Uber HR-tier response.
