Sounds like your contact didn't tell who they should have and now doesn't want to own it. I know that doesn't answer your question.

Yeah. I’ve been set to go awaiting final confirmation on freelance to start on a Monday and they email Sunday night at 10 to cancel. This kinda shit sucks.

If you can’t work those dates you can’t work. No question asked.

Venting now but people need to realize this has to do with people’s lives/livelihood. This is a larger issue than forgetting to tell someone something. I hope they are never in this position.

Did you ever end up hearing anything??

At 5pm yesterday, got an email saying they shifted some resources around and there was no longer a freelance need. So not my OOO dates as the issue. Ya think they could have figured that out before interviewing folks? Pretty sure I️ dodged a big bullet is where I’m at today. Thanks for asking 🐠!!
