In this business I’m always excited when my company hires us folks and hope they are just as excited when they see the same 🤩

Have anyone ever experienced being excited about someone joining and the energy wasn’t reciprocated?

I've experienced varying levels of "excitement" from different new hires. I think it all just boils down to each person's personality and how they express themselves. Some people are really outwardly positive and others are more introverted. Obviously, the latter is better in terms of feeding off their enthusiasm, but that doesn't mean the other is bad.

Right… I’m more internally excited until I meet the person so I don’t make them uncomfortable 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

I've seen plenty of people who were outwardly expressing how bummed they were in a role they "had to take." I don't think it's appropriate because it crushes morale in a hiring class. Show excitement or at least attentiveness; should be the bear minimum.

I agree. I have certainly seen this as well. Its really sad to see someone not be as thrilled as you are

Tell me about it. I already feel like I'm not welcome on day 1. The company has raved tirelessly about their inclusive and supportive environment. The instant regret just hit me.

Yep, sometimes I liken it to a balloon being slowly burst haha. But it's fine! I'm here to do a job, so it's all good

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter, to be approved by L4), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa. After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).
