Accepted Offer, Welcomed to the Team—Then Dropped Without a Word - Sr. Network Engineer American Campus Communities Employee Review

I was officially offered a position and welcomed onto the team by Greg Blumberg (Director of Infrastructure Services). We even had a welcome lunch to discuss next steps. Days later, I was ghosted—no formal rescinding of the offer, no explanation, nothing. It was a deeply unprofessional experience. I turned down other opportunities to join ACC because I trusted their word and the leadership. I’ve never had a company extend an offer, host a welcome lunch, then completely disappear without giving me the courtesy of a conversation. Candidates deserve better than this kind of treatment. I would advise others to proceed with caution and get everything in writing—because clearly, verbal commitments and handshakes don’t mean much here.
