A recent viral post on social media has ignited a heated discussion about hiring ethics after a recruiter revoked a backend developer's job offer worth ₹40 lakh per annum (approximately $48,000 USD) just before the candidate was set to join. Initially, the candidate, Krishan Kumar, was earning ₹21 lakh and received an offer of ₹28 lakh, which he accepted. However, after securing another offer of ₹32 lakh, he requested a revised package, leading the company to increase their offer to ₹40 lakh. Despite this, the recruiter claimed the offer was rescinded on the candidate's last working day, opting instead to hire someone else at ₹18 lakh. The recruiter’s remark about 'tit for tat' in leadership drew significant backlash online, with many users criticizing the company's ethics and professionalism. The incident raises questions about the integrity of hiring practices and the treatment of candidates in the job market.
