I joined a company that had rescinded my offer but they took me when I insisted. But now the thing is the manager continuously brings up oh I was getting disappointed that you might have not accepted the offer or you were taking so long to accept etc… I am getting very bothered and threatened by him keep bringing it up, I don’t say anything back but I just don’t trust being on his team, what do you guys think of this situation?

Not sure what’s happening here. Do you think he is trolling you and knows that you “begged” to get the job?

I did not beg. I just played it cool. They said in email they rescinded, then I just still went in system and signed the offer letter. Then 3 days later I played it cool and asked when is onboarding and recruiter was like uh we rescinded though but let me get back to you and 20 mins later, he comes back saying we are pursing with you.

funny

He was worried you wouldn’t accept does not equal you aren’t safe, so the math isn’t mathing on your conclusion of no trust, threatened. He’s giving you a hard time. I’d probably say something confident, like it takes awhile to review all offers when you’re in demand. It’s banter and it goes both ways, just be careful you don’t say something rude. Which you can do with buddies, but there’s a fine line at work.

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are.

They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.

Currently our marketing team is of one (me) and we outsource quite a bit of other tasks as we continue to grow.

Yet so many people (several in different teams) have requested to review my work before it’s sent. It’s unnecessary and makes the job less efficient. How can I politely and professionally decline their request?

But a lot of posts here making me think it’s harder to break into than I expected (non-technical background).
