I was offered a position by HR. I was that an offer letter would arrive in two days by the Senior HR person. A week later, the same HR person said, "After reviewing the compensation package, Northside has decided to rescind our offer and open the position to other candidates". How do you offer a senior management position to someone before having the compensation package completed? During my initial phone screen, my desired salary was agreed upon with HR as being within the ballpark of the position.
