Sheesh, this is a joke, right? We do staff augmentation (polite Americanish for body-shopping) at volumes of 15 to 20 a month for the Middle East market, and get 5 to 10 drop-outs every month.
The market's so hot they can so afford to do this; there's always someone else desperate enough to make them offers.
More when I return.

This seems to be a common complaint these days, there was even a newspaper
article the other day. Is the job market so hot that people can afford to
just drop offers like this? Or is it only for a few hotshots?

Why on earth did you make him a second offer after you already knew from
this that he was flaky?
