After my recent interview, the recruiter said I got the job and there would be one more casual meeting. I sent over all my paperwork as requested, but now complete silence. I've followed up multiple times with no reply. I'm frustrated - if plans changed, just tell me instead of disappearing. This lack of communication is really disrespectful. Why is basic professional courtesy so hard?

That's very strange behavior. First of all, it shows that you don't really have the job until you have a written offer in your hand and you accept it. Someone saying you have the job may not mean a thing. If they're not responding to multiple attempts to follow up I have to assume you're not getting the job. Probably best to be looking elsewhere and move on.

It takes all of a minute to send a quick message letting somebody know what’s going on. I make tasks for follow-ups like that. Even if the news is no news, I still try to let people know I didn’t forget about it.

I really do not understand this behavior either!! My team would never do this to someone, we pride ourselves on being effective communicators even throughout the interview process. But I've been hearing more and more stories like that, I guess because professionalism is just out the window?

Sounds like they don't respect your time as someone who went through a similar experience recently. Interviewed five times, homework, late to get back to me later in the process. All the signs were there - the token interview with the cofounder at the end being nothing more than a few simple logistics questions, "early stage" role where they don't know every single fact prior to posting, seemed that the VP of Sales had some ideas of his and some ideas of the founder that they implemented (he was canned around the time I got the news below), and a homework assignment that the interviewer wasn't satisfied with (I still got moved on up) 'saw but didn't read'.

Turned out the CEO smoked a fresh bowl of crack and decided to have a hiring fair in 3 weeks and hire remote or another area if things didn't work out. I was a backup all along.

If it's too good to be true, it is. When people say you're also vetting the company, this is what they mean and what I wish I did, instead I wasted half a workday of my time.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
