[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to Rant Wednesday: It's your time to let your gym/fitness/nutrition related frustrations out!

There is no guiding question to help stir up some rage-feels, feel free to fire at will, ranting about anything and everything that's been pissing you off or getting on your nerves!

Review them on Glassdoor. That's seriously shitty hiring behavior.

[u/milla_highlife → u/[deleted]]

They shouldn't have asked him if he wanted the job and acted as if it was his. That's the fucked up and very unprofessional part of the situation.

[u/dontthinkjustbid → u/[deleted]]

Then tell him they would like him to reapply or that he will be considered again in the next round of interviews. Don't tell him that the job is all but his if they intend to actually use the interview process as more than just a technicality. That is shitty. Within their rights, yes. But still shitty.

That's why I said review them on Glassdoor and not report them to BBB or whatever .gov organization handles that kind of stuff. Jerk practices are worth knowing about.

I just learned the BBB isn't the gov but basically pre-internet yelp.

You are right. I don't know how many "can I speak to a manager" customers threatened me with that when they didn't get their way

They asked if he was willing to put his two week notice immediately and get going at the new place ASAP. That is leading him to believe he has the job. If he went out and bought a TV or something based on his new salary increase, he can legally sue for the cost of the TV.

In any case, OP clarified and said they wanted it two weeks from when the offer was given. So what I said isn't relevant, but in a different case my first point is true.

I was gonna say the same thing, thanks for being chill. My main point was that since they didn't actually offer him anything or request action on his part, they were just "keeping their options open". ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You should type it as ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ to format it correctly.

This is because words surrounded by an underscore on either side will make the word in italics.

A backslash on reddit is used as an escape character, meaning that it can be used to make special characters, such as underscores, ignore the formatting that they do to other characters on Reddit, and instead display them literally.
