I accepted a job that I went for an interview, and after about 2 weeks, my current employer managed to make changes that makes me to consider to stay in my current job.
I want to rescind my acceptance, but I don't want to leave a bad impression. I want to make sure I am not offending the hiring manager who initially interviewed me and accepted me for the position.
It is what it is. Call and speak with them and let them know your decision. There is no way to sugarcoat this. Just be honest and courteous and don't send an email or leave a voicemail.
Thank you for the offer, however, my current employer has come to me with an exciting offer and while I do appreciate yours, I want to take this offer and stay with my current company and hopefully excel and rise further in the company.
Again, I thank you for the offer, but will have to reject it at this time. I am sure there's others just as qualified as I am for the position and am sure you will find a suitable candidate.

Yes, the hiring manager called me after I spoke to the HR personnel about it. I just feel really bad that I accepted and now I hVe to rescind my acceptance. I guess theres no easy way out for this. The hiring manager wants me to take another day to consider it and call her back tomorrow, and I told her I will do that. I do plan on calling the hiring manager again just to show my respect, is just that I feel bad when I do that, and I want to make sure I dont say anything wrong make her feel offended or leave a bad impression.

Thanks again
Yours truly
Thank you for this, but I feel wrong to approach the hiring manager like this. As good as my current employer is, the hiring manager was very nice, and I really did look forward working for the hiring manager.
The statistics are very high where once someone decides to leave their current company..and they find themselves in your identical situation...in less than 12 months, they leave anyway.

Consider your next move very carefully.
Best of luck!
I didnt really want to leave my current workplace, and my management team is aware of it as well. I like where I work now and the people that I work with. The situation is more complicate than just a normal regular job.
OP, I'm almost in the same situation. My employer (a small insurance company) closed his doors and so the 4 of us who were staff were out of a job. My employer referred me to a friend of his who is also in the business for a job interview. Everything went great and he offered me a job, but the pay is almost half of what I was making. I was so thrown off guard that I excepted, but now feeling I should decline and keep looking. He doesn't want me to start for a month, so I think I'm going to explain to him that the pay is too much of a difference and try to negotiate a better rate. If not I will thank him for the opportunity and regretfully decline.
I suggest that you just explain to the hiring manager that you have had a change of heart and regretfully need to decline. You can't take the job just because you feel bad.
It happens all the time. Just be up front and professional about it. They probably have a #2 candidate. Just make sure you're not just experiencing buyer's remorse, and you really do want to stay. Unless it was an issue of money, something's by was causing you to look elsewhere. People may promise changes, but often that's easier said than done. If money was the issue, that's much easier to rectify.
