# Hired and removed within the same day

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Recent graduate · via r/recruitinghell

A fresh graduate accepted a job offer, discussed start dates and paperwork with HR, and began making relocation plans. Hours later, an email arrived withdrawing the offer. The reason: "internal considerations." No further explanation was provided. Reddit commenters noted this pattern — companies issuing and rescinding offers for new grads within the same business day — has appeared repeatedly in the subreddit, typically attributed to budget freezes the hiring team didn't know about.
