Bamboozled!

I feel a little bait and switch going on.

You're the chosen one for the job but you're never going to hear from us again. Wow....thank you. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Thank you for taking what little hope that I had that I may have a job before this one ends. Not only is that hope taken away but now I'm NEVER going to believe I'm getting an offer until I see it in writing.

I have never played this game with my candidates.....never...and I've extended tons of offers.

I have this sinking suspicion that I will never hear from this company again. I know they're not cash poor but I do believe that they spoke too soon about wanting to bring me on without knowing what I made and that scared them off. This discussion should have been done when I first went in months ago. Waste of time.

I understand corporate America. I do. And I don't blame them for not extending me an offer. I do blame them for TELLING me that I was getting an offer and then never following up. In that respect you got me. You got me good.

Some may say I'm jumping the gun with my disdain but I don't think so. I get an email on Thursday morning (early) asking me to see how fast I can vacate my current job even though they know I only have a couple weeks left. I am a compromiser and tell them I can leave one week early. Get everything approved. Now it's Monday at 12:42 pm. Nothing.

HIRE ME!
