Hi,
I got a pretty good job offer from a top telecom company I had worked with previously for 3 years, and had an awesome track record, with excellent performance throughout. I resigned from my present job (sent my manager a resignation email) on the day I was packing my bags to go n join the new job. However, all of a sudden I got a call from the HR stating they were withdrawing their offer due to a negative feedback from one of the senior managers I worked under earlier. I was taken aback n had no idea what to do. I realized that it would be better to secure my present job, n immediately contacted my HR and senior managers that I was withdrawing my resignation.
Now my question is that should I go ahead and join my previous company if they ask me to, since they haven't cancelled the offer made to me yet. Can I take any legal action against them? Is it always better to first join the new job and then resign from the previous job? (although its legally wrong.)

Miskavitha,
1. You haven't told about your domain, is that HR / Telecom Software etc.,. My personal opinion is that you cannot take any legal action from the given situation.
2. I understand that since you have not served ur notice period your senior manager told the same during the back ground verification.
3. You have no choice except to join in your old company, serve there somemore time, speek your sr manager's counseling about changing your job, then try and join some where. 3 yrs in telecom company experience is good, you should get good openning shortly.
Hope my other friends with forum will also agree with me.
All the best.

Hi Miskavita,
First you try to rejoin your previous company. By doing so, at least you will be secured in job. Then try to take legal advice from some experts before taking any action. It is true once appointment given, should not be withdrawn.
Thanks

Dear,
Secure the present job first, one in the hand is better than ten in the bush. Secondly legal action is possible but have you got the time , money and energy to follow up in Indian legal system. Even if they agree to renew the offer letter, you still wont be comfortable in that company because of negative politics against you. I suggest if you have got the inclination to join that company at any future date. take care of negative opinion about you, neutralize it at the earliest.Follow Sun Tzu's Art of War in corporate politics. All the best.

Dear miskavita
I agree with what the others have said here: would you really be psychologically comfortable actually working in that company now (which withdrew the offer)?
Moreover, you know how the Indian legal system works....its pathetic, to say the least.
Ofcourse, the choice to do so is yours: it depends on how strongly you feel about this matter.
Its unfortunate how some people tend to malign a person's career by giving bad feedback: trust me, that person who is responsible for it will get it back tenfolds! I really believe that whatever good or bad one does, eventually comes back to him/her.
I would say that in future, access the probable responses and character of people whose references you give so that some other nerd like that senior manager does not get an opportunity to hamper your career.
Wish you all the very best.
