It is not a lie to accept a later offered better deal. The better offer might never come through. Would you really begrudge someone who left for an opportunity

It is not a lie to accept a later offered better deal. The better offer might never come through.
Would you really begrudge someone who left for an opportunity that is better for them?
You are mixing up loyalty with persons with loyalty to companies. The former is important the latter is foolhardy.
- nickff 6y agoWhat would you think if a company regularly retracted offers upon finding better candidates? Opposite side of the same coin.
- pnw_hazor 6y agoCompanies do. It happens all the time with usually no recourse for the candidate. One time a startup hired me and a buddy as contractors (expensive contractors) to help with their push to release. They had hired a bunch of junior (it seemed) marketing/sales/bizdevs types around the same time too. Two weeks later just about everyone was fired except the two expensive contractors (me and my buddy). I found out because I could hear some of the outgoing employees crying at their desk. One day they are eagerly working overtime to prep for a trade show, next day they are packing their stuff. Soon thereafter, my project was canceled and I was reassigned to other work for a few weeks while I looked for somewhere else to work. It's a Great Day at Hall Kinion was awesome on that gig too. I asked my handler to find me a new position, instead she setup an ambush meeting with me and the CTO to discuss why I wanted to leave. I couldn't believe it.
