In 99% of the cases the candidate has exactly 0 leverage to negotiate this and the person on the other end will be laugh at this notion.
Instead of weird fantasies about power that doesn’t exist, how about we acknowledge the skewed relationship between a(n) (prospective) employee and an employer like the rest of the civilized world and do away with “fire at will”.
If something like this happens in the EU, then it’s likely the company would at least be on the hook to pay the salary for the duration of the initial contract that was signed (often 6 month minimum).
I say likely, because of minor variations between countries, but it’s a given in most countries.

- jrflowers 3y agoThis is a good point. It is a shame that there aren’t unions organized around professions like pipe fitters, lampworkers, or crane operators. There is no conceptual framework for a non-company union

- nitwit005 3y agoVery well. Please share an article about a union intervening to fix this.
- braza 3y agoIn some places in Central Europe and Nordics, some companies has contracts that telhas a penalty if any of the parts terminated before the start day. In one case I signed one that the company of me would pay the total of 3 salaries if any of us terminate the employment agreement in advance.
