| Jun 3, 2020 at 17:36 | comment | added | Gregory Currie | I recommend you investigate what acting in bad faith means. I have seen no evidence that they are acting in bad faith here. They are under no legal or moral obligation to offer career advice, they simply said that if the OP wants to keep their options open, they will have to postpone a decision on Company A. The OP has an obligation to themselves to weigh up risk associated with that. | |

Company A will likely choose another candidate for the job. Company B could very well offer the job to someone else. If the OP follows the direction of Company B, and if company B does not offer the job to the OP then the OP has no job offers. That's acting in bad faith. | |

| Jun 3, 2020 at 5:00 | comment | added | Gregory Currie | None of your examples are either disingenuous or in bad faith, provided that all parties are telling the truth and not misrepresenteing the situation. I don't think you know what those expressions mean. I think there is an assumption here that Company B is somehow obliged to give career advice. They are not. | |
| Jun 3, 2020 at 3:21 | comment | added | joeqwerty | It's like telling a home seller not to accept any other buyer's offer because you might want to buy their house but you're still looking at other houses to see if you like them better. That's disingenuous and in bad faith. | |
| Jun 3, 2020 at 2:58 | comment | added | joeqwerty | It's like asking one girl to not get a boyfriend until you decide if you want to go out with her or not but you're dating other girls to see if you like them better first. That's disingenuous and in bad faith. | |
| Jun 3, 2020 at 2:52 | comment | added | Gregory Currie | How is it disingenuous? How is it in bad faith? They want the best candidate. They are still interviewing. It's in their interests for candidates to be available. It would be in bad faith to say an offer will be made but without them knowing that to be true. But they are not saying that. | |
