BAE black-lists people that turn down their offers

I'm writing this just to warn others that when they offer you a job, they expect you to take it. If you don't accept it, they'll never reconsider you for another job in the future.

I interviewed with BAE early this year for an image analyst job in DC. They offered me a job for the same amount of money that I make now and I would be working rotating shift work with BAE, which I've never done and have heard it's awful. My boss where I worked at the time happened to promise me it would get exciting since we're starting a new division and I'd do meaningful work and how they'd need my expertise, blah blah blah. So rather than starting over again, I decided to stay and take a chance to stay with the current ocmpany. I have my own office where I am and I'm sure I'd be crammed into a room with 20 people and no privacy with BAE anyway. Besides, it would be for the same amount I was making at the time with rotating shifts? Ugh. My sleep is bad as it is. I had to humbly turn down the job offer with them.

Eventually I ended up regretting my naive choice to stay with the current company. I called the recruter(s) back and apologized, saying the job didn't turn out as I was promised. Guess what BAE did? They said all the jobs were filled (NOT true!) and then blacklisted me from being hired again. Even independent recruiters contact me saying I'd be perfect for BAE and they want to get me in with them. Then I tell the recruiters that I think I've been blacklisted and won't get hired. The recruiters chuckle and say that's not true (of course) and then present my resume to BAE and I never hear back from the recruiter again. That has happened to me 4 times. I don't even get responses back from the recruiters via email, which is odd. That's never happened to me when a recruiter doesn't even respond via email.

If BAE seriously is this crooked, I may as well have gone back with Booz Allen Hamilton.
