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 an offer letter, you should commit to it. Otherwise, you should not have accepted the offer letter in the first place. Ditching someone's offer for the sake of a better one is disloyalty of the highest kind.
Please remember that those involved in your selection process trusted you. They, too, are in need of employment as much as you are. If you give up the employment, all their efforts will be in vain. Your exit could be viewed as a poor selection by the recruitment team and could affect their performance appraisal as well. Why would you want 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 understand what happens when a selected candidate does not turn up or abandons employment shortly after joining. It disrupts the operations of the department. Some members might have experienced the frantic activity of finding a replacement.
Now you have come to this forum, where members are well aware of the ill effects of abandoning employment, and you have asked them for advice! It is quite audacious!
Well, gentlemen, life is long, and betrayal is not a one-way street. The tip of the needle of disloyalty may not always point away from you. A time may come when it could point toward you. You may enjoy the fruits of betrayal today; however, be prepared to experience the victimhood of betrayal as well.
Thanks,
