Gotten that too, from many top companies. It leaves just as fast as it comes, but as employees we’re not allowed to.

It’s because the ground is shifting underneath them throughout the process. They’re not going to say “things are tenuous here” to a candidate, and are trying to mitigate the damage and hold onto their own jobs.

I understand it’s frustrating, but it’s not personal. They are likely hearing different things on the daily about if the position is even open. It’s not as simple as it sounds to be honest and transparent.

Can’t wait for Saturday to come so that my date and I can Netflix and chill, then having him sleeping over and I waking up next to him. Miss his warmth and miss giving and receiving cuddles. I like the feeling of having certain people making you behave in a more tender way. I’ve been literally longing for that moment for the week as I’m on a boring PMO case. Romance is not lost between gay guys! :)

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
