Shameless.
Shameless seems punchy. A couple days isn’t that long. I wouldn’t give up hope. Also, “think about it”doesn’t make it sound like you’re in a rush either.
Many such cases. I can’t IMAGINE not communicating with someone I’ve spoken to about a job. It takes zero time to say ‘we went another way on this’. It’s so wild.
Could take two days to get the offer in writing and that’s what’s happening. 🤞
There’s still time. Remain cool and don’t panic yet
Make a public post on LinkedIn naming them! That will get their attention
How long has it been since you sent the email?
I got a verbal offer 2 weeks ago, still waiting on the written one…. They’ve kept me updated every couple of days though. Should I just give up?
Keep waiting, but also keep looking / interviewing elsewhere
if they still ghost you. name drop them!
LOL. This happened to me a few years ago. For me it was bad timing. CCO bringing me in to run one of the offices got let go the day I was supposed to get my offer. They ghosted me for two weeks then finally got back to me saying because of CCO change they are going in a different direction.
Publicly shame these assholes. Go on social media and air them out. Stop letting them win and take advantage of people looking for work!
I wish I could have advised you not to do this! It’s so unprofessional of them. It’s happened to me, they rescinded the offer because I didn’t jump for joy and say yes immediately. Sure it’s my perspective but it felt that way. I was pretty burned out, (personal things), and was surprised with an offer. All I said was that it was great to hear the team loved to work with me & I needed a few days to think about it and take care of some personal things. When i broached the topic a few days later, it was off the table. In the future always get things in writing. And if they don’t want to document it, YOU can. “Thanks for your call this afternoon, I’m excited to learn that you’ve made me an offer to be XYZ, I need a few days to get some personal things in order and will share my decision with you on Monday. Excited at the prospect of coming onboard etc!”
