Meh.
I think it's pretty rare for a company to tell someone "Yes, you can definitely work for us, here is a contract for you to sign and a start date and how much you're going to make" and then revoke that.
Which is the equivalent to me telling a company I'll work for them and then reneging.
But of course, yes, they could do it, and you're right that people and companies aren't always courteous.

- dclowd9901 15y agoI'm glad your experiences have been so plush. In my past as a graphic designer (this doesn't happen anymore in web development, mind you), I've been hired and then let go in the span of a few months, due to cuts and layoffs. Maybe I'm burned and a bit cynical, but the lesson I've taken away is that business is business.
