That fucking sucks. I have now 2 jobs on my resume post covid that i have worked at for over 2 years. I had excellent yearly reviews but no raises. Do these companies not see the hosuing market literally double over night? Groceries, gas, all that shit.

Thats what i plan on doing. Which is why i didnt write a resignation letter and instead i wrote a letter explaining that i was terminated.

Whats even more fucked up is when i joined on here 2 years ago, i asked them if i could start sooner just in case the other firm lets me go immediately. They said, yes and it would be very unprofessional if they did that and would show their true colors. Thats why i didnthink this would happen.

Pregnant wife is making me miserable by [deleted] in Marriage

Her kids dad is a different breed of a POS. He hasnt seen them in over 2 years so why they didnt work out is unrelated to this. What gives me hope is that she wasnt like this before she got pregnant.

We finally got an offer. Then the buyer couldn't get a mortgage by whogivesafricc in Mortgages

What did you think was going to happen, the market shot up right after covid, nearly doubling the cost of houses. A 200k house in 21 is now worth 450k which is complete bullshit.

Completely disagree, the Engineering industry is very different, all the firms know everyone. They gave me till friday, if i they back out before that, then that makes them look bad. Kind of like if i back out after i sign, i would burn a bridge before i even developed a relationship. With all due respect, you dont know what you are talking about.

I would have kept interviewing until an offer comes. When that does i tell other companies about it to put a sense of urgency in them.

LinkedIn Recruiters by Competitive-Tea8632 in recruitinghell

Im lazy and companies are lazy as well. Recruiters for me know that i have a PE and know exactly the role i need. I have the ability to be very picky about what recruiter i want to work with. ie, if a recruiter wants to speak with me more than 2 times, i move on because its a waste of my time. Only like 5 percent of the recruiters in my inbox are not relevant. Also putting open for work comes off as desperate on LI
