I received an offer letter, resigned from my current company, hired my replacement, and trained them. However, when I went to join my new employer, they had already hired someone without informing me. What should I do? Please guide me.

Dear Ajesh105, But then why did the future company leave you in the lurch? Why did they do that? Please confirm. Thanks, Dinesh Divekar

When I asked the reason, they said we needed someone urgently (I was serving 1 month notice & their HR left 20 days before my joining).

They told me that it was a hiring miscommunication when I went there on the joining day.

They sent me back home, called me in the evening, and said, "I will take you on my team - Admin."

Yesterday, I went for joining, and they took me in as an HR Executive, but it seems they are finding a way to terminate me as only 1 HR is affordable by them, whereas we are 2 HR now.

I am afraid as HR doesn't share any data when I was told to go and work there. After this, I go and ask my reporting manager about the same; he told me to meet the owner today.

Dear Ajesh105,

It is unfortunate that they have not treated you fairly. Try your best in HR until they absorb you in a rightful appointment and also keep looking for a suitable job outside.

As an employer, I have a different story. I hired an accountant and gave him an offer letter, offering the package he asked for without any bargaining. I stopped hiring or looking for another person once the offer was accepted. However, just before he was about to join, I received a message stating that he would not be joining as his current company had offered him a higher salary. This situation has caused me trouble as I now have to restart the entire process of finding a suitable candidate. I had to turn down many candidates assuming the vacancy was already filled.

Dear Col. Suresh Rathi and Indu 182,

The problem of "no show" that you face is being experienced by a large number of companies. To overcome this challenge, some companies have resorted to newer methods that I have mentioned in my reply to another post. You can refer to it by clicking the following link:

The latter part of my reply is relevant to our current discussion.
