Hello,
Just wonder if anyone from HR does come on these forums?
It is starting to occur to me an Employer I've had a job offer with and that has taken quite some time to start as level entry, are perhaps, hoping that I'll withdraw first - does and can this happen?
I've reached a point where I've queried why a contract they wish me to sign reads: Your normal place of work is xyz & actual lists employers address only which to me doesn't signal I am a home/remote worker and there is absolutely no other line about me being remote. (had no response just yet) the only thing I would have in any proof of home working is when I was asked to confirm internet speed and a Manager wrote an email about the situation 'changing'.
Please note the home working isn't so much covid related and they decided nearly a month on after interview that they couldn't offer hybrid/induct me in the workplace - it was said in future they wanted ability to recruit nationwide - but how can they issue a contract which to my mind even as a fairly local person to the workplace - doesn't protect as a home worker.
It is starting to make me wonder, I got offered the job prior to new year when they went on about how that would make my new years eve, at the time I was unemployed, then the first dbs they interrupted - I am just curious can companies hope the applicant bottles out?
