I have 2 offers in hand from company A and conpany B. I have made my decision to join company A. But want to keep the offer of company B as a backup. Incase anything goes wrong with company A.

I am completing all the joining formalities of company A and company B too.

When should I say no to company B? On last working day or once I receive laptop from company A?

Company B is calling me regularly just to check if I will be joining them. Please advise.

Onboard in both the companies and then based on work and which company you like, you can abscond from another company.

funny

Even through it was sarcastic replay, it is some people do think of doing.

Recently someone did ask me same question if they should join 2 companies and abscond after they feel one of them is better than other.

I was amazed by that question.

I advised person never to do that even in his dreams as that As it’s not ethical and can ruin future if get caught .

Just tell company B that you will not be joining as soon as possible. If you are so unsure about company A joining process, then why join such company? You can't have your cake and eat it too, just let the company you are not joining, know about your decision.

Ethically, if you've made your mind to go with A, tell B well in advance that you wont be joining them because of XYZ reasons. If you think A might not onboard you, despite the offer letter, I'd suggest to stay away from A.

I would advise to inform company B about the decision as early as possible

Hi Fishes,

I have just joined an organization and agreed for night shift. I thought I could manage it as I have done it earlier.
I realized that it wouldn't suit now as I see a lot of backlash from my 2yrs old boy. I have a feeling that it might have a wrong impact on him.
I don't want to continue this timings now. I am less than a month here. How should I approach? should I resign and look for opportunities again, lil afraid as I see slowdown news more frequently nowadays.
