F*** you Corporates
What the hell is wrong with companies these days? They are trying to take advantage of laid off people!! I had 2 offers from renowned companies, both of them quoted me numbers and I agreed with. And now, the HR calls me and says since you don’t have a counter offer we can’t offer you that much we promised you earlier. Well, f*** you. I have competing offers but just got them confirmed over calls. As soon as I get them, I’m gonna kick your offer and never coming back doesn’t matter how much you pay. And for sure, I am gonna keep you hanging till the very last moment of joining date and then just write a apology mail (which I wouldn’t even mean) saying that sorry I can’t join tomorrow. You get what you deserve. I deserve better compensation, better people and not just the ones who goes back on their words. F*** you again!!
Right now, I can’t.
But would definitely reveal after rejecting the offer

For laid off folks, it’s even worse. I have declined so many interviews in the screening itself when salary numbers were discussed.
And this is going to impact the company more because as soon as things recovers, people will start switching and things will eventually balance out

Pls write the reason also in “apology” mail, mentioning it is unethical behaviour
I would definitely do that. Never going back to that company. And will reject at the last moment only
Suggest to mark some leadership folks of these companies in that mail. So that they also get to know how f*cked up their HR is, if not already.

@pLaidOff keep up this energy! So much respect for people who know their worth and stand up for themselves!
Yeah. HRs are just lying plainly and I have many a times countered at that point itself and declined further process citing the same
While what happened to you is despicable, the reduced offer is because of hiring manager or HRBP, and not recruiter. Recruiter wants the role closed in the budget in least amount of time. They offered, you accepted. And when The hiring/reporting manager realised your offered comp, THEY want less money for you so that their existing reportees don’t rebel on you getting more than them. This parity issue usually happens when the company grows beyond a stage and is hiring according to new stage but corrections haven’t happened to existing team. Don’t blame HR, blame the HM who’s trying to retain everyone in least money so that they give big hikes (not corrections), make their team happy and get themselves promoted.

Sahi kia bhai. Not sure what logic is this ‘counter offer’.
That’s the worst part actually. And the counter offer I have is better than them and I still agreed to join them because I thought it’s good. But now, I’m gonna just kick their offer at the last moment just before joining day so that they should know how it feels when you go back on your words

I genuinely tell them that i am not fond of offer shopping. You give me this number i will join.
They say, we need competitive offer first.

Indian HRs are the worst on top of it. They also have created entire departments just to justify their employment like a true sarkari babu. Outside India, no "team" handles your process, it's just one guy end to end.

OPs reply (buried deep down the thread):
"""
Hey mates, sorry
I was afk for a few days. Was busy interviewing. It was **Nutanix** I was talking about. But is not the only one.
In the last few days I have faced the same situation from a lot of companies ranging from series A funded startup’s to publicly listed. I have rejected all of them.
"""
hats off to you for not playing along with their BS
@pLaidOff - please Name all the companies who were arrogant during interview process.

Thats so evil of them.
Was it a startup or an MNC?
It’s a US based publicly listed company
And actually well respected too. But lost all its charm for me atleast

Do you mind revealing numbers at this point? Just want to know the pay range for this scene
Initially what they quoted to me was 50+ and now they reduced that by more than 20%.
Put the conversation on LinkedIn and tag company, HR who contacted you, and Company higher management people. Everyone should know what's going on here.
Bhai sab companies aur HR aise hi chutiye hote hain. Linkedin pe daalne se is bechare ko koi aur company job nahi degi.
Tech stack ? And is swiggy your current company from which you are switching
Backend dev: java spring majorly
I was impacted due to the layoffs at swiggy. Took some break and now interviewing actively for last 20 days
Do they give any indications to employees before layoffs in product based companies, unicorn startups etc .Asking bcz then one can be ready for any contingency and start preparing for roles outside.

I can't wait to see HRs licking my ass once the market improves. I already have ghosted a couple of them within last month, can't wait to play the same game these a**holes played with me last year🥰
HRs are the worst of the worst - wish vioent deaths on most of that tribe.
@pLaidOff bhai bata de yrr company name, pagal hojaiga comment section notification se 😭😭😭
Many Congrats bro on the offers. Really bad practises being followed by so many companies. Possible to share few things -
1. Approx How much hike you got. Possible to share exp or what's the base pay offered?
2. Did you mention them about layoff?
3. How you extending joining date since you are immediate joiner right?
