I take home less than $800 a week. Why are you trying to embarrass me?

Was in a meeting about a commercial idea just now and I felt my soul leave my body, turn to me and give a look of utter shame.

I am in desperate need. I said yes. I would have never considered it otherwise.

HR professionals, please help me, what is going on? I had an interview in late April where they were hiring for three different units. I got a call in early May asking if I would be interested in having my name put forward for one of those slots, with the expectation that it would eventually mean I would get that job.

They told me they were hoping for a start date of early June but they needed to send my name to New York City to do whatever they do, so it's possible the date could be mid June or early July. Now I get a reach out every two weeks saying not early June, now not mid June, most recently just saying early July or maybe mid July.

What are they doing with my name in New York City that takes this goddamn long? It's been like six weeks

I was there a few weeks ago and I didn’t come across your name. It’s a big city though so maybe it’s just that paths didn’t cross.

Is it like a staffing company hiring for three different clients?

We mustn't ponder the actions and motives of the New York gods. If they wanted us to understand them, they would have granted us the ability to understand.
