No sympathy for anyone willing to work for Palantir, but always found rescinding offers so evil, esp if they involve relocation and with younger employees. Like there's a nonzero chance the person just signed an expensive lease and planned to move across the country, and you'll make them unemployed? There should be much stronger employee protections and they should start at the moment an offer is made (at the very mininum).
This shit happened to me with a professorship on a tenure track, and now I'm stuck working retail in an otherwise dead college town in the middle of assfuck nowhere.
The job offer looked like a way out of being trapped forever in lecturer hell and into a tenure track, even if it was a small university, and instead it dumped me into a pretty small agricultural town with a job history and qualifications that sets me up for basically just a professorship or working at fucking Walmart.
I once got an offer from a startup. I had asked the HR person if I could have a few weeks to give notice to my company that had been very good to me. She didn't reply, instead the CEO replied directly to rescind the offer.
Thankfully I didn't quit yet, but since then I've wished for his demise.
And like, it's basic GoodEmployeeBehavior(TM). I would prefer hiring people that tell me ahead if they are gonna leave the post. They are stupid by their own standards
it was even after lowballing me on salary, providing healthcare thats mostly only good on the west coast, and trying to offer stock in a company that will never fucking exist.

Nightmare fuel just starting grad school.

:porky-happy: The system with the most efficient allocation of resources
I'm sorry, that sucks so much.
At the very least they should have to give you like 3-6 months pay and buy out any leases
This is why I try to be overemployed now, no way I'm quitting my current job unless I feel the new job is rock solid.

That's completely idiotic lmao. Like you just can't attract talent without flexibility on start dates.

Jokes on them though because they ended up losing a lot of their engineering talent because the CEO is such a fucking piece of shit.
