Take the call and keep us posted. No point in speculating and driving yourself mad. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻

Everyone is being very positive here. OP I'll play devil's advocate. They get a kick out of rejecting candidates twice so they do it once by email and then again over the phone. If they really hated you the department head will stop by your house the day after a call with a gift basket. S/he will tell you it was all a mix up and that they will be in touch the next day. You will go back inside open the gift basket and find a 3rd rejection notice within

OMG OP! Did you call the recruiter yet???

We do this. Our stupid recruiting system (which I think is an IBM product that we probably did not configure super well) will automatically send a rejection email if you move someone to a new role or new location. I have had many “sorry about that” conversations with candidates.

This is clearly a mistake

(Contd) email. She then left me a voicemail to apologize and sent another email saying she has an update on my interview and wants to a “quick” chat?

Bottom line: Is this an offer call or a rejection call?

Only one way to find out...

PwC1: did you get the job?

Also in her final email she said she has "updates” for me. If that helps.

@M1: did I get it? 😍😍

@D1: For sure

@AC1: the screw up was already established and no the email wasn’t from workday

^i thought we already knew the first email was a screw up?
