Is this normal to get mails like this when we mention we have an offer ?

I am tempted to reply "Thank you for the free moral science lecture".

the quality of the image is unacceptable.

@joewilliams007 True. But i think it is devrant which is compressing it beyond recognition. I managed to get an uncompressed file, but in devrant the quality is still poor.

@purist devrant probably couldnt care less since the abandoned this project. Cheap services activated surely

🤨you reposted...

DevRant compresses images to hell, so adding a larger image is only going to make it compress further 😂

You could like, upload it somewhere or copy/paste it -> unless it's not your email?

make it a more square image, with bigger font. The wider the image - the worse the quality after compression. Equal height/width optimizes the quality loss vs the data contained in the image ratio

@C0D4 I used an online editor to remove PIIs. I will try to zoom it and post it again..

Forgot i could use my phone for a better image.

Hi

Thank you for your interest in the job openings with <blank>. You indicated that you have already accepted an offer from another company and as such, we would not be able to proceed with you any further at this time.

When you accept an offer, you are making a commitment to join the company. Usually, at that point, companies stop hiring for the role and expect you to join as per your commitment. While you may be tempted to use your offer as leverage for higher compensation, please know that companies like ours are looking for candidates that have the integrity to honour their commitments and follow through on theirs, and any actions proving otherwise automatically disqualify you.

Also, we strongly believe that your work ethics speaks a lot more about you as a potential candidate than the number of job offers you hold. We hope that in the future you will be mindful of the time that companies invest in hiring candidates and learn to honour your commitments.

@netikras nice

>When you accept an offer, you are making a commitment to join the company

You are absolutely not making any commitment. The commitment is made when the contract is signed, that's all. Until then you are as free as a bird.

I mean really, these are the same companies that will then drag your interview process for a month just to tell you they found someone better. And you are supposed to not look for an alternative until then?! really?! You think the average person can afford to be jobless for literal months just because you think it's not "like cool and stuff" that the person has the audacity to try to secure his finances as best as possible?

fuck you <blank>, fuck you right up the ass and then dump you on the side of the road you garbage company.

@Hazarth one more problem is.. Most companies will only give hikes based on our previous salary. So unless we have a better offer there is no way to get a good offer even if we know we deserve it. So using offers as leverage turns out to be the only option people have if they are underpaid in their current job.

An actual message I got from a recruiter:

"If you are 100% happy with what you are doing right now from salary to conditions and career trajectory, that’s great, just let me know and I won’t waste any more of your time or mine. But if you are only even 90% satisfied, this might be worth at least a look as it’s a great project and career opportunity I’m sure you’d get a lot from working on!"

So they don't care if you break your "commitment" over a small dissatisfaction as long as it benefits them, but when you're trying to do the same out of your own initiative, you're suddenly the bad guy? #recruiterlogic

@gogokun I am trying to forget about it... Pls dont remind me

The whole thing reads like you said them that you actually accepted an offer already. If you did not accept an offer already, their text is based on a wrong assumption.

But if their assumption would be right, their response would actually be right too and their response would indeed hint at some sort of decency.

So clarifying the situation might be worth a try - especially if your original email doesn't contain the error leading to this misunderstanding...

@gogokun Please tell me more about Coinbase.

They wouldn’t hesitate to rescind your offer if they wanted to for the slightest reason so they can shove it.

@Oktokolo Oh I definitely did mention I was on notice period, after getting an offer. That was a question in their form.

We hired a guy once who quit within days and didn’t give any notice at all. Just disappeared and ghosted everyone. It sucks for companies to have to deal with that. But if you accept an offer verbally and it’s not yet signed, sealed, delivered on paper, I say no harm no foul. Just make sure you have a conversation and explain. Don’t just not show up.

@stackodev Ethics aside, if we dont look for multiple offers, we will be forever be underpaid. Rarely i know that, some people get good offers right off the bat. but the rest of the mediocre people like me, have to fight for it.

And here, we usually have a huge notice period, which itself is usually a filter in most places. So all those places will only interview us, if we are in a notice period. So unless we are too confident about our prospects, we are left with no other way.
