If your team does daily standups, your manager is a micromanager
Reached the onsite stage while interviewing at #github I had to reschedule due to a death in the family and informed my recruiter Recruiter told me through email that they rescheduled it to 2 weeks later which worked for me. I followed up via email a couple of times to get the official meeting invite Ended up getting a phone call from her later in the week saying that the "hiring manager removed the job posting" but that I'm "at the top of the list when similar positions open up" 🙄 Honestly I'm pretty ticked about this. My uncle passed away, I have the _audacity_ to take some time to grieve with family and then the position gets closed down TC: $160K YOE: 5yr Edit: You people need to improve reading comprehension I never said they closed the role because my uncle died or anything like that. It's just that my uncle died and now I've lost the opportunity to work at Github at what seemed like a great position I'm angry and venting
They were likely interviewing many candidates in parallel and one finished the loop with good enough ratings to get an offer. Likely had nothing to do with why you delayed just the fact that you delayed meant others finished first.
The truth is companies don't give a shit about employees and candidates
GitHub likes people to commit, not those that checkout. Seriously though, seems like the req was taken away. You wouldn't have gotten the job anyway since there was no job.
>You wouldn't have gotten the job anyway since there was no job Yeah I think I agree with this, but then what would've happened if I did the on-site and passed? Would I just be in hiring limbo?
They would have said nearly the exact same thing. You did great, but the req was removed. We'll keep you in mind for other posts. This is quite common, especially when economic times are uncertain.
This happens they're telling the truth
From your POV it may seem that they "cancelled" you. But from the hiring manager's pov, and recruiters pov, remember that you're not the only candidate they're interviewing. May be they continued with other candidates with full intentions of interviewing you after the said 2 weeks. However they probably found another candidate whom they liked a lot and gave the offer. What's wrong in this? Also they may not readily have another opening to interview you. Come on. It's ok. I'm very sorry for your loss, but everything is not about you. Please take care and wishing you the best and hoping you get another call soon 🙂
This is always a risk when you are doing loops. Whether you postpone or not. In the end what will matter is that you took the time to grieve and be with your loved ones. There will be future better opportunities for you at github or elsewhere. Dont sweat it.
This is likely unrelated, they would have removed the posting anyway even if you had an interview.
This is unrelated. Multiple people interviewing, a company isn’t just going to wait until everyone finishes the interview because other people have deadlines too. Someone got the job or the job got cancelled cause market is shit. It happens
If it makes you feel any better we have frozen hiring except for critical roles so it likely would not have made a difference to postpone the interview unless it was like a month ago.
The hiring manager removed the posting. The two events are unrelated unless you find evidence otherwise. Not sure why you are tickled.
I'm ticked because my uncle fucking died, I rescheduled my interview to grieve and they told me that the position closed I don't understand what you don't understand - I lost my opportunity at what seemed like a great role
There was no opportunity my friends. They are no longer hiring. This would have happened irrespective of the unfortunate event with your uncle. I truly am sorry for your loss but you are getting angry about a correlation and not causation.
