I had my two or three interviews, got an offer for a role at an university, I accepted and am “ hired” . But they’re still checking references . Does that make sense ? I got a update that one of my references did not work out. I provided two other references that I don’t know if they’ll give great reviews due to them being petty. Is it a high chance that they can take the offer away if I don’t meet the requirements for my references ?

Why did you use individuals you couldn't trust as references?

It is pretty typical - when companies require references - for offers to be "pending reference checks." And, yes, it is entirely possible they may pull the offer if one or more of your references don't come through.

They truly did. I learned they had to deal with a lot of short staff and currently hiring new staff. Which is not an excuse especially because I was given a deadline to start, but my “ space” wasn’t fully set up, barely materials, and I’m using a loaner for computer until they can get me an official laptop. I think it’s a nice gig, but from the time of offer to the first few days have been off

I accepted a new job back in the summer of 2020 that required relocation for the office opening in Jan 2021. Office is still closed and I haven’t moved. Now we are rolling out a new plan that you just need to be near an office but only go in a few times a year for specific things. There is an office close that wouldn’t require me to move and I’d prefer to work there given the situation but HR is still insisting I’ll eventually need to move. This is so silly 🙃

All this outrage energy could have been used back in 2016 during the election but people didn’t care about the consequences of electing Trump. Only ~50% of those aged 18-29 (whose recent ruling affects the most) voted, a sizable amount liberal.
