Sometimes I feel like I've found the perfect candidate and then they reject the offer. It sometimes hurts more than a romantic rejection haha! Just sharing for fun :)

I’ve had this happen a couple of times recently. The one just went completely unresponsive, so we aren’t sure what happened. I know things happen in life, but it does kind of break my heart, too, when people pass on offers that seemed good from both sides.

yes! you get it!

I’m assuming they are rejecting the offer because of salary? I’m not sure why a candidate would go through the entire interview process only to reject an offer unless it was a money issue. If that’s the case, it’s not really your fault it’s your company for setting the budget, right?

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

So this dude asked me late last night if I wanted to call him and said he needed someone to talk to while working late..told me to let him know if I had a guy over then he’ll talk to someone else. I didn’t have a guy over and not that kind of person so why assume that? It pisses me off.
