I went for an in-person interview with two employees in the digital department. Our conversation went extremely well, and the job sounded incredible. I was thrilled when HR reached out to offer me the job later that week.
The day after I accepted the job, I got a call letting me know that they were rescinding the offer. Apparently, they decided to offer the role to an employee in a different department who was interested in transferring to digital. That’s all well and good, but why make an offer in the first place if they were just planning to give the job to someone else?
I kindly explained to the HR rep that I had already given notice to my current job, and asked that they please reconsider. They didn’t seem to care about the terrible position they put me in, and quickly got off the phone and never responded to one of my emails again.
This was a company that I had always admired and would have loved to work for, but the way they handled themselves was appalling and incredibly unprofessional.
