<p>No they aren’t. They are a business that makes business decisions. </p>
<p>I’m not saying that a person should renege out of a decision like this (and advised the OP not do in a pm) but I don’t think anybody should get caught up pretending that the business has feelings. The people that work there do but the business does not.</p>
<p>Here’s a couple examples of being unfair to a company:
- Getting hired while pregnant so the company insurance will pay for your delivery costs and some of your pregnancy leave, and then quitting before returning to work.
- Accepting a job, working for a week, then stop showing up to work and notifying the company a few weeks later that you quit.</p>
<p>Here’s a couple ways of a company being unfair to you:
- Hiring you, having you work a few days (less than a week) and deciding you won’t work out, and then terminating you
- Giving you an offer, have you give notice, then cancelling the job offer
- Communticating with you in depth about a position, do one or more interviews with you, then never talking with you again</p>
