Everything I have two of is crossed. OUCH!!!! :eek:

There is the possibility the recruiter/contact was assigned the task of finding someone for that position with the disclaimers, no hurry, when you can find time, after you fill those critical spots. So getting all the people to sign off on it is more difficult without being able to nudge them with the authority of priority. :ipray:

Yeah, this is a reflection on them, not on you. But it still sucks when you are the one who is waiting.

If they don't now give you the post, I think you are legally entitled to firebomb their office.

Ooooowch.



Perhaps I will fart in their general direction.



However, I think today is the day I'll hear, and I think I'll be made an offer. Hope springs eternal.

Well hurry up and get the job, dammit! My nuts are turning blue!!!

:D

I would if I could...

Meanwhile, you well know, I'm sure, that blue balls, however frequent, are merely temporary.

Complete radio (and every other kind) silence from the company and their representatives today.


Such a sad waste of optimism on my part.

Devil's Advocate: What possible reason could there be for this delay? If they were waiting for some background check, wouldn't they say so, blame another party?

Is it possible they offered the job to someone else and are keeping you hanging on in case that doesn't work out -they turn it down or fail the drug test?

Let it go, move on, and then if you do get the offer, you'll be in a better emotional place to start the negotiation process you seem set on.

But what do I know.

Another possibility is that the incompetent upper management there is afraid to make a decision about taking on another employee. That's how the management at my firm is behaving, and it's also in all the newspapers that it's going on all across the country.

Maybe it's just a matter of waiting for management to make the decision to go ahead and fill the position.

I'm fairly down on business management these days. They are sitting on all sorts of cash and not hiring.

You know a lot monster. That's a good approach.

I still think they liked me, companies don't go through the hiring hassle (minus the hiring) for entertainment. I think they intend to hire; maybe, hopefully me.

The aggravating part was to be told I'd hear "EOB", then crickets. That's preventable in all regular scenarios. Just send a note, "hey, still waiting on xyz, haven't forgotten you". Not so tough.


Thanks to all for your concern, I appreciate it and you. :-)

V, I'm sorry they're screwing you around. It's something to consider, should they come up with an offer ... maybe it's good to be aware that they operate this way.

In the meantime, I concur with monster.

**bump**

I don't even fucking remember what that last interview was about, but since they (still) haven't offered me a job, I guess having moved on is OK.

In more recent news, I start my new job tomorrow at ten o'clock last week.

Yup, I have a job. (I started this post a little while ago, but was distracted/exhausted and didn't return to it until now.)

...













Juuuuust giving you all a moment for that to sink in.








Ok, time's up. The story on this one is kinda weird. Or not, maybe it's a normal story and my experience, or lack thereof makes me unequipped to reconcile the events that have led up to this point.

A couple weeks ago, I took my car into Jiffy Lube to get the oil changed. I could change it, sure, but it was raining and I'd have to buy the oil and the filter and blah blah blah. I decided to just treat myself to letting someone else do the work this time.

I keep meaning to update this thread and find myself either too tired after work to do so, or too rushed in the morning to do so. Fine. Some update is better than none. More details to follow, assuming I'm not too distracted/rushed after work.

"After work", I like the sound of that. :)

Great news V!

Congratualtions!
