Job Offer Withdrawn After Candidate Questions Hybrid Work and Sick Leave Terms
A job candidate who interviewed three times over five weeks received an offer with terms differing from those discussed, including a mandatory five-day in-office schedule and unpaid sick days for the first 90 days. After politely seeking clarification, the candidate's offer was withdrawn without explanation. The candidate also noted discomfort with certain hiring practices, such as being asked about current salary despite legal restrictions. Both sources report the incident factually without political framing.
