CNBC AI News, July 22nd – A social media storm is brewing in China after a recent graduate claimed a company threatened to blacklist him for rejecting a job offer.
The 2025 graduate, who remains anonymous, reportedly posted his plight online, detailing how he had applied to multiple positions as graduation approached.
He received an offer from a Nanjing-based company. However, after further discussions, he declined the offer, citing a late salary payment schedule (end of the following month) and a long commute. Crucially, no formal employment contract had been signed.
The situation escalated when the company’s HR representative allegedly responded with the following: “That’s expected. You’ve been casting a wide net on Boss [a Chinese recruitment platform], showing a lack of contractual spirit and integrity. We will widely publicize this within the industry.”
Attempts to reach the HR representative for comment have been unsuccessful.
Legal experts suggest that if the HR department were to “widely publicize” the graduate’s actions within the industry, it could constitute a breach of rights.
According to legal analysts, job seekers are within their rights to apply for multiple positions. Rejecting an offer before signing a contract does not constitute a breach of contract or indicate a lack of integrity. The incident highlights the power dynamics at play in China’s competitive job market, especially for fresh graduates.
Should a company engage in such “blacklisting” behavior, the graduate could file a report with the police or initiate legal proceedings in a People’s Court to protect his reputation.
