Thanks for the responses, shame that companies are allowed to treat people like this!

If the shoe was on the other foot and she received a job offer with a lot more money two weeks after she "accepted the offer" (in fact she accepted nothing as no offer had been made), how would you feel if the first company treated her acceptance as binding and somehow forced her to come and work for them instead?

I sympathise as it's always annoying to think you're going to get something and then not get it, but that's all we can do. As others have said, she had no reason to stop her job search.

She shouldn't have cancelled the other interviews, even if she had a job offer to start in 2 weeks time you can still look for jobs, go to interviews to see if anything else crops up that's a better option.

What, including the cost of your much needed reality check?

It sounds like the reason they revoked the offer was her salary request. At which point did she state what she was expecting? It sounds like the job would still have been hers if she agreed to the salary others are prepared to be paid, so really, it is her own fault.
