Hi fishes, I declined the offer from Pwc AC bangalore on July 28th by sending an email to HR, communicated the same to us_pwc_ac_bangalore_recruitment_services@pwc.com. But I keep getting these emails to complete pre-hiring formalities and daily reminders for the same. How can I make them update the status in system? Also are there repercussions of rejecting an offer. I rejected 3 days after acceptance. PwC Pwc AC

Maybe a thanks, I didn’t know you were the food police 😉 But really sorry this is happening to you. I don’t understand why people need to get involved in things like this.
Are you serious? I would raise it with HR, that’s disgusting behaviour on their part.
I think you should tell them that kind of talk makes you uncomfortable (especially if you don't witness them doing this around others amd know they're singling you out). If you don't feel comfy saying that (I get that not everyone is), then at least inform them that you prefer to receive dietary advice from qualified individuals outside of work (or just say friends/family.)
Make sure you communicate this via email and not via random conversation.
Then, if they do it 1 more time, report them to HR and cite that email that you sent requesting that they not mention that topic to you. And I say to inform them first bc an HR rep will almost by default ask you if you said anything to the person / asked them not to bring it up. Why? Bc it's too easy to wiggle around passive-aggressive convos. They could always say they never noticed your weight, that it's a topic they talk about all the time with different people so they weren't singling you out, that they saw you eating X and thought you had an interest in common, etc. And if you think people won't lie if you have no proof, baby they WILL.
A lot of people don't like being direct because they equate it to being mean, but they're not the same. You can be nice and direct about telling someone that a topic makes you uncomfortable and you would prefer not to get into that topic. Do that and document it.
Maybe it's their own New Year's resolution to get healthier with salads and juices, and it could be a coincidence.
If it's not, just ignore them and say nothing. And then in your head tell yourself that you can always lose weight if you choose to do so, but they will always be ugly inside and out.
You say you are self conscious about it…do you want some help in losing the weight? Maybe your coworker is trying to help you and you should take her/his help. Just say, it seems like you know a lot about weight loss and I am having some trouble with it, what’s your secret? I work out a lot and really watch my diet, and there is always something new to try…people like to share.
Are you *sure* this is directed at you? I think it’s easy to overestimate how much other people think about us - most people are so wrapped up in their own lives, they barely register who is around them. Your coworker might be obsessing about his or her own weight and isn’t aware enough to realize it’s not a great topic for group discussion.
I wouldn’t engage. Other people’s diets aren’t all that interesting, anyway. Respond with a “mmmmm, ok” and then change the subject.
If you feel comfortable, you can directly address the person's comments. Say something like, "I've noticed you mentioning salads and juices a lot around me lately. While I appreciate your concern, my health and weight are personal matters I don't feel comfortable discussing at work." This sets a clear boundary and lets them know their comments are unwelcome.
I am right there with you OP. I actually ended up going to my doctor and found out I had a thyroid problem but even after getting that straightened out I still haven't lost any weight.
