Leaving after one week after getting better offer

I resigned from a company after receiving an offer from Company A. During the notice period, I was interviewed by Company B. I informed them about the offer from Company A and requested them to release the offer letter soon. I also asked for an extension from Company A as Company B has not yet issued my offer letter. Company B and its offer are better than Company A.

Now, I have four days left to join Company A. My plan is to join Company A and then leave after one week upon receiving the offer from Company B. Is this advisable? Will Company A create a PF within 10 days, and will Company B find out about this?

Dear member,

Once you accept the offer letter, you should stick to it. Otherwise, you should not have accepted the offer letter at all. Ditching someone's offer for the sake of a better offer is disloyalty of the highest kind.

Please remember that those who were involved in your selection trusted you. They too are in need of employment as much as you. If you give up the employment, then all their efforts will go in vain. Possibly, your exit could be viewed as a poor selection by the recruitment team. It could affect their performance appraisal as well. Why do you wish to let someone down? Therefore, don't ever think of taking an offer letter from Company B.

This is a forum for HR professionals. Many members know better what happens when a selected candidate does not turn up or abandons employment just after joining. It throws the operations of the department out of gear. Some of the members might have passed through a motion of frenzied activity of replacement.

Now you have come to the forum of these members who know well the ill effects of the abandonment of employment and asked them for their advice! It is the height of your audacity!

Well, gentlemen, life is long and betrayal is not a one-way street. Forever, the tip of the needle of disloyalty need not remain away from you. A time may come when it could point it toward you. You may enjoy the fruits of betrayal today; however, be prepared to enjoy the victimhood of betrayal as well.

Thanks,
