oh yes they can rescind an offer. Before I settled into self-employment, I received an offer from a company I wanted to work for (space weather business). The hiring team really liked my experience in the domain, and we both thought it was a good cultural match. They gave me a verbal offer. This is when I asked for accommodation for a repetitive strain injury. (Acoustically isolated place where I could use speech recognition without interfering with others. Within 48 hours, the offer was rescinded by HR. The recruiter was dumbfounded, the hiring manager was apologetic, and I was disappointed and pissed. At this point, I decided to fully commit to self-employment because it was clearly the only way I could work and give myself an environment that didn't increase the damage to my arms. my practice has grown enough that it looks like I'll be hiring people in the next year or so, and my experience has taught me how to accommodate different needs and different styles of working. I'm going to try really hard to not be an asshole company even though it looks like my UK contractor is going away thanks the tax code change.
