The vast majority of companies will now do this. Employees are doing the same thing, a few months ago it was surprisingly common for employees to accept but then decide not to join because they got a better offer.
In a way, this is what we want, at will employment and a highly liquid labor market leads to more fairness.
- Dork1234 4y agoThe risk for rescinding offers is drastically larger for the employee than the employer. An employee most likely would of left previous employer, which means they currently do not have health insurance in United States, could of sold a house / terminated lease, canceled daycare or after school program, transferred kids school. Many of these things you cannot undo once done, and put you back to the back of the line. I sure hope companies that do this can never hire another person again.
