Re: [MBZ] Maybe not worst case scenario but not good

2021-10-29 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
In our case Mrs. Dan had gone through all the motions with this employer, 
interviewed in person, signed an offer, etc., etc.

We spoke to our attorney to see if we could get some relief, even though Kohler 
covered a portion of our moving costs. He suggested he contact them about 
recovery of (some) costs as we really had nothing to lose.

He later said they must have been concerned about litigation, as they simply 
threw a number at him and didn’t even ask for an estimate of costs. He asked 
for a bit more, they split the difference.

He got a nice fee for his work and we covered more than our out of pocket costs.

IMHO, lawsuits are a pain in the wallet with no certain outcome. Time and
effort could be better spent making nice with the old employer, who you
just gave notice to leave, by meeting with them and saying, "With all the
corporate moves being made, and people leaving, I had offers from other
companies who knew of my skills and good work habits and I acted hastily in
accepting one of those offers without giving full consideration to "how
much I like it here, since I know this company inside and out, and the
customers I've serviced for [insert number of years]. Also, it appears
the company will grow stronger with the upcoming corporate merger, and I'd

which you made. I'd like to withdraw my notice and stay on for the future
growth bla bla  bla because I know with leadership like yours
[bullshit on steroids] we will continue to grow.

You get back in the old saddle and ride sidesaddle [because you know they

Agreed, very shitty and inexcusable. And actually to Dan's example, if they did 
cause you a significant loss or expenses by "leading you on" and you acting in 
good faith based on their offers, there is possibly a civil claim to be made, 
but I'm not sure that "damaging your reputation with your current employer" 
qualifies.

Re: [MBZ] Maybe not worst case scenario but not good

2021-10-29 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
This happened to Mrs. Dan years ago and actually worked out quite well for us…

When I was recruited by Kohler and we moved up to WI, Mrs. Dan worked with a 
recruiter who landed her a job at a major banking institution. She got all the 
requisite onboarding letters through her headhunter, etc.

She showed up for work the first day and got shuffled into a conference room 
with the hiring manager, an HR person, and a higher up from management. The 
higher up apologized profusely and said that they were rescinding the offer of 
employment as the hiring manager (apparently) had not gotten the proper 
approvals to hire her. And that was that.

A quick call to our attorney dispatched a letter to the bank’s HR and Legal 
departments with copies of all the related correspondence, relating that a 
cross-country move was involved on her part and that she had incurred expenses 
to relocate for the position. Negotiations between our attorney and the bank 
commenced shortly after they received the letter.

I recall we had a rather nice check from the bank a few weeks later.

How to demoralize the competition.
Make job offers to their managers, get them to quit and come work for 
you.


Then tell them, Friday of the week before they're supposed to start, 
"just kidding".

I am guessing OK is an "at-will" employment state. They can hire you today and 
fire you tomorrow for any reason (or no reason). Employees can also quit at any 
time. Unless the offer is an employment contract for a stated period of time, I 
don't think contesting it will go anywhere.
