[QUOTE="quadro, post: 821954, member: 12850"] Did you ask what would happen if you signed the offer letter and then changed your mind? It's not clear whether you asked before or after you signed the letter. My guess is after but regardless of that let's look at the situation. You signed an offer letter which tells anyone after you on the posting that the position has been filled. Perhaps they don't care or perhaps they take their second choice somewhere else. Lots of possibilities. Also, the hiring location, which obviously is in need of staffing now has to effectively start over. So your decision to change your mind, which FedEx does allow you to do albeit with a penalty, may have had a large impact on other employees. Employees that accepted a different job but would rather have had the one you accepted and employees at the hiring location that now have to wait longer to get the help they need. It is a big deal to sign an offer letter and then withdraw, that's why there's a penalty. As for your medical condition, I'm sorry to hear about it but why should you get preferential treatment? Part of being a People company is acknowledging that People is plural. If you get preferential treatment that is not available to other employees, how is that fair to everyone else. Or is it only a People company if you get your way and to hell with everyone else? [/QUOTE]
