Better not get into this situation
Someone will say that you are in an enviable position. But for many this is a problem situation. It’s better not to get into such a mess. You can only anticipate it when you know how soon you should receive an answer on your candidacy for a vacancy. Then you simply do not agree to other offers until you receive feedback from all employers. But not everything is perfect. Therefore, the simulated situation may well happen.
Which is better for you?
If a new proposal was received shortly after you agreed to the position and even got to work, there is nothing criminal in considering an option from another company, says Fred Kiel, one of the founders of the consulting firm KRW International:
“It is quite acceptable if you change your mind and decide to leave the position in the first days of work, while the company has not yet spent too much time and resources on you. Everyone can be in a similar situation, and will not be considered a deadly sin if you resign as soon as you begin work. ”
Ethical dilemma
But be careful. Of course, after a sudden refusal of the proposed job, your career chances may not be affected, but nevertheless it can be assumed that in the future the search for a new job may be more difficult - especially if everyone in your industry knows each other well. The situation is delicate.
“Essentially, the decision comes down to a choice between ethical and personal considerations. The situation is delicate, often there is no optimal way out of it. As soon as you give your word and sign an agreement with the organization, an attempt to leave can be harmful, ”said Adam Lloyd, president of Webber Kerr Associates.
Although the decision to remain in the original position is the ideal moral decision, sometimes a new proposal is simply too good to miss. In such a case, Lloyd advises very carefully weigh the pros and cons - both short-term and long-term, and only then make a decision to flee.
If after all this, the new proposal still seems more attractive to you, then it's time to take action.
Apologize
If you do not have time to acquire legal obligations under the contract, it's time to apologize.
Do not write emails. Better to call or meet in person. Yes, the call is unpleasant, but this is the best respectful way to refuse. Just call the employer and let us know that you are grateful for your time, but for some reason the work is not suitable for you. It will be correct and honest.
The best you can do is turn your total loss into a potential win for both. You will get the job of your dreams, and the company will not have to be content with an employee who wants to work elsewhere.
Common mistakes
You should not react in any way, turn off your mobile phone, or warn relatives that you will not be invited to your home phone. This behavior is sure to be remembered. The world of recruiters is cramped, and you cannot be sure that in the future such behavior will not go around.
