Interview
I dedicated nearly five months of my life to this circus, flawlessly navigating two stages of their painfully slow 90-minute process, giving them every second they requested. The manager, full of enthusiasm, practically rolls out the red carpet, asking when I’ll join, discussing the offer like it’s a done deal—only for HR to vanish into the abyss for two weeks and then casually drop the bombshell: Oh, after an extensive search (which apparently took them forever), we picked someone else!
Right. Because that wasn’t just a gigantic waste of my time. Let’s be real—it was probably all about referrals and ghosting, and I was just the unlucky soul they kept stringing along for sport. Absolutely infuriating.
