Comment on Ask HN: Have you ever had a job offer rescinded?parent

Comments

I think your comment is appalling. How the hell would you know he is living beyond his means? Maybe there are perfectly legitimate reasons he can't take on extra work. Maybe he is dealing with illness and medical expenses or God knows what.

I have to get away from the keyboard now...

It doesn't sound like that's the case, and there is NEVER a reason for an employed person to allow a simple speeding ticket to turn into a bench warrant. I've struggled with these kinds issues in the past and the way out is to step up and take responsibility for your financial decisions.

You're right.

I could have done community service instead, but I didn't.

I didn't take responsibility for the ticket, and I just let it go. There's no excuse.
