i think feeling an intangible connection that you'd genuinely get along with that person is more valuable than we think. i recently started a new job and in the interview my future manager seemed fine but it really didn't seem like we had a lot in common or would hang out outside of work. turns out she was a nightmare micromanager who made my life a living hell! look for the instant vibes ๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ€

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc thatโ€™s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didnโ€™t respond when I gave her my availability.

Iโ€™ve never dealt with a recruiter so I donโ€™t know.
