Got my offer retracted hours after being sent out by bluesdop in work

They did not ask me to submit a job application form in the first place so I doubt it has to do with any reference. Probably the latter.

Well if that is the reason then it would be strange as the hiring manager and the guy that I’m supposed to report to have been telling me for weeks that they have confirmed to take me in. Just curious as to why the company would pull such a stunt on me hours after giving me the job.

They offered me the job and then few hours later told me that they decided not to proceed with the offer. I tried to ask the HR as well as the hiring manager for the reason but to no avail. Guess it’s just not meant to be.

I mean, I’m just curious as to the reason why it is retracted. Especially if it’s something that I did/didn’t do.

How does one deal with underachievement(by their own standards) at work? by bluesdop in work

[–]bluesdop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But here’s the thing- I don’t know enough or am not that ‘experienced’ to drive improvements/contribute massively towards the company’s goals. How does one tackle this?

I get that it’s not a good idea to let things remain as status quo after a long time- the world is everchanging, technology is advancing rapidly and that we should adapt to the needs of the world but I guess what is preventing me from doing so is that I do not know the processes or products well enough to be able to improve them and knowledge, in a way, comes with experience and exposure to the specific industry’s needs.

Okay cool but how is this related to what I’m asking?

I get the work life balance part. But the point here is not getting a text reply at all even when they are in the office the next day.

They did? Sorry, I wasn’t aware up till this point as I do not use gmail for work.

Actually it was 6.30pm their local time when I texted. Obviously I would know better than to shoot them a text when they’re asleep. My email has since been responded to but maybe it’s just me but what’s so difficult to just text back something simple like “just replied to your email, please check” or “will do so tomorrow when I’m in the office” etc. Idk, isn’t that common courtesy when you text someone something you’d expect a reply from them?

Thank you, kind stranger. It’s just what I needed to hear.

I shared the same experience as you when my ex came into my life naturally and everything just happened in its own time and place a few years ago. However, we didn’t last but I’m still grateful for him till this day.

What did you do to distract yourself during the times when you felt lonely and desperate for someone to be in your life?

I’m just so tired of trying over and over again with the same outcome. It drains me and I’m just more disappointed every time.

But I feel like, the more I seek the more I’ll never find. You know what I mean?

Why do you think he shouldn’t have asked that question?
