Life is both Light and Dark - Wednesday
It’s Wednesday morning and I’m really getting stressed about not hearing anything. I decide to
contact a sales person I know there to see if she knows what’s going on. Luckily she does, but it’s not good for
me. Paul was fired Monday
afternoon. She suggests that I email
Bob to see what he has to say.
Bob emails back fairly quickly and casually informs me that
Paul has been fired and he’s going to email their standard employment
offer. Well, this sounds good. BUT, the offer comes and it reads like a
prison sentence. Office hours are 8:30,
blah, blah. Oh, corporate America! Now for the real killer. The offer is for the junior position! Turns out, he hired the woman who used to
work with him for the senior position and if I want to work there, this is the
job that’s open.
Needless to say, I’m crushed. And, I respond with, “Sorry, but this is not what we were talking
about and I’m not in a position to accept this offer. If something more senior opens up, please think of me.”
Bob responds back, “Yes, I’ll think of you when there is a
more senior opening.”
I’m really devastated.
I was counting on this job. I had
one foot out the door. Now what am I
going to do?
