Plan B
Posted: Sun 2 February, 2014 | Author: Lyle | Filed under: Own Business, Thoughts, Work-related |6 Comments »I said I’d write about that ideal job that I got the offer on.
It’s gone. They’ve decided to change plans, and pulled out of the process.
It’s annoying, but it’s one of those things. I hadn’t had the offer in writing, so there’s nothing that can be done. It’s just a good job it wasn’t something I was relying on, or a situation where I’d handed in my notice in order to go to it. (Although if that were the case I’d have waited for the offer in writing, obviously)
I had a suspicion it was going to happen – once the initial offer had been made, everything went very quiet. In my experience that’s never a good sign. Fortunately I’m a cynic, and I keep looking until I’ve got a concrete offer.
So it’s back to Plan B, and the contracting. Which is fine with me.
Sorry to hear that. Is that the one which would have involved working from home?
Yup, it’s that one. Ah well.
Given the unprofessional way they have acted have they had the decency to pay you for your wasted day and refund your travel costs?
Don’t be daft, BW, of course not.
But, you had a verbal contract, surely…
But, better their unprofessionalism has come out now than a few weeks/months down the line.
Do you have a mo’ to answer my email? Sorry to be a pain but Friday cometh and I’s a-worried…
As a wise person once said, verbal contracts aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.
And yeah, will try to get round to it today…
