This is the first time I've seen that kind of pencil. Very neat, especially offering two colours to write with!

I believe it's correct.

Sorry, I don’t understand.
“if becoming bankrupt was a result of actions taken” ?
What I wanted to say was:
A company went bankrupt just after you joined it, but it was not because of you.
Can I say “if becoming bankrupt was not a result of your joining”?

You could add some words in parenthesis.
"Nowadays, if a company which you just joined went bankrupt suddenly
(not from your actions), and this situation was repeated on several occasions, you would be called binbohgami as a joke.
I suppose not having that information in parenthesis does leave the sentence up to reader interpretation. One person would think the individual in the sentence wasn't at fault, others would think he/she is at fault.

People do that, and sometimes frequently. It depends on the individual's situation.
Hope that is of some help, Yuri!
