I am so pissed, I had an interview scheduled for Friday morning just gone, I ended up having to cancel due to a sudden flood in my bathroom.
I rang the store where I was to have the interview. The girl I was talking to said no problem, ring on Monday to reschedule, Which I did, turns out the job has been given to an ex employee who wanted her old job back, I was only told when I rang to reschedule as I was told to do, I was only told by the new manager I rang to confirm the position was filled.

That’s just wrong. As soon as they knew they were rehiring her, they should have told you.

Yea I've never heard of that before, where'd you get this info from?

Honestly, it doesn't seem, as tho this job was meant to be. I know, it looks unfair. However, things like these, happen for a reason. Continue, your search, and you'll eventually find something else.

Agreed!

That flood happened so you wouldn’t work at that toxic place. You would have started and they would have ousted you for the old employee.

Something similar happened to me in April of 2024 and I realize now I'm better off because if they cannot take the 2-3 minutes to noify you and any other applicants, that's on them.

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer. Today she shas asked for one more week to release the offer. Should I wait for it or move on. Are they waiting for some other candidate to join before rejecting me at last moment. Only 10 days of my LWD are left.

So true 😅
