Hi Folks,
This is Ram, an HR professional; here I am sharing an incident which was happened to my friend. He is working as an Admin Executive with 10 years of experience. A month back he got an offer (offer letter) from a Leading global IT and business process outsourcing company after 4 rounds of interview (name starts with C and famous for their iPad gift). With the initiation from the HR department my friend was start proceeding the reliving formalities in his current company, His boss spoken to him about 50 min to retain him (he served for more than 2.5 years with that company). However at last he has accepted his resignation.
About some 15 days before the joining date, “ C _ _ “ company have called my friends for a discussion (already they informed over the phone and they have mention like bring the offer letter with you) and when he went to meet them they said due to the budget problem we are not hire any new people and they have TAKEN BACK the hard copy of offer letter from him.

- Buddies… please suggest in which category we can put this HR practice. As the HR people won’t have a heart and ethics?
- Is that acceptable? Can’t he do any thing? Who is blamable and what we can say about the Manpower Planning of an IT leader.
- My friend is a married man and now he really don’t know what to do,
Please suggest...

Well Ram,
Your friend has helped the cause of the Company by giving the offer letter back to the employer. I just hope he has a copy to justify his case.
While talking about HR practice, this is not a practice. The letter must have been withdrawn due to various reasons, I could think of:
• He was replacement and the earlier candidate rolled back his resignation
• The organisation hired that person for certain task/project, but has kept the same on hold.
• The organisation could have moved somebody internally to the position
• There was actually a mistake in planning
In this case, the HR didn’t have a choice but to go ahead and rectify the mistake. Not that HR doesn’t have a heart neither this is a practice, it could be just a mistake. You work in HR as well and I am sure you wouldn't enjoy doing such a thing.
As far as your friend goes, if his manager convinced him for 50 mins to retain him, I am sure he would be glad to have him back (unless he has recruited someone else for the same position). So ask him to speak with his current manager and roll back his resignation. If that option is not available, he will have to look out for other options.....
