That post turned into garbage in the last visible paragraph. In such a case he should sue the recruiting company, not post about “have i given it my best”. LinkedIn trash
“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.”
Jean Luc Picard
What is happening here is techbro is now subject to a similar level of ‘trying to find a decent job related bullshit’ that the poors, the formerly middle class, and even the vast majority of other tech workers have been experiencing for… what, at least half a century, if not basically all of the history of capitalism?
His privelege has been nulled, and it affects him personally now, so now its a real problem.
EDIT: oh dear god he used to work at Binance.
Yeah, this guy can fuck all the way up his own ass amd then shit himself out, he gets the pico violin:
I also ANAL, but I did take a contract law class in college and this is a textbook case. If it actually happened. And depending on how the “offer” was worded.
He’s being held hostage by unemployment in 2025. Even though it seems like he’s caving it’s not a bad move. He exposed the situation and at the same time kept an optimistic stance for future opportunities.
Maybe but are you really going to hire a lawyer to sue when you don’t have a job to pay the rent?
I know someone who went through a similar situation. The company said they were “just getting the paperwork ready” for like 4 weeks, meanwhile my friend turned down another job offer. Then suddenly the company that had been stringing them along said “sorry”.
If you’ve signed on an offer here, and it got rescinded, you’d have the easiest win in an employment lawsuit ever, maybe that doesn’t apply everywhere, but still seems worth a shot…
My solution to this is that I accept the other job offer, and I don’t quit until the night before I start my first day in the new one. As a result I’ve never spent a single day unemployed. If something I’m counting on doesn’t come through I’m already at my backup plan.
If companies won’t be loyal to us in this way, why do we owe any loyalty to them in return?

Yeah… you can tell this guy ain’t a TNG fan.

Bro’s been brainwashed by hustle & grind culture. He’s not ready to accept he’s a victim.
Trying to convince the working class they’re victims is worthless because they all believe they will win a lottery ticket to make it all feel better.
IANAL, but it certainly seems like he may have a case for promissory estoppel.
I also ANAL, but I did take a contract law class in college and this is a textbook case. If it actually happened. And depending on how the “offer” was worded.
For a company like PayPal, I’m sure their legal team has written the offers in a way that they allow for this, and aren’t an employment contract.
Don’t be sure before at least talking to a lawyer.
Estoppel is a fantastic word.
