# Offer rescinded on start day — after one LinkedIn post

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Unknown candidate · via @FLOTUK on X

A candidate had the job. The paperwork was signed. The start date was set. Then, on the morning she was meant to begin, the offer evaporated. Observers — and by their account, an overwhelming majority of commenters — pointed to her final LinkedIn post as the likely trigger. She had expressed mixed feelings about the role, noting it paid less than her previous position. Whether someone at the company saw the post and pulled the trigger, or the timing was pure coincidence, the outcome was the same: one candid update, zero job, and a start date that never happened.
