I can really relate to this
Hate how normal this is. 5 interviews, all that prep, and they can’t even call you like an adult?
Can relate to this.. Legit makes my blood boil.
This is why I don’t get excited anymore until there’s an offer letter. Companies will lie right to your face
Ghosting after saying you’re the top pick is peak corporate gaslighting. GASGLIGHTING!!
Honestly they probably went with an internal candidate or the role got canned. Still no excuse for treating you like that
It’s so messed up how normal this is. I’m sorry
Yep, they want you to do 5 rounds of interviews for free consulting basically. Such waste of time and they should pay people
They should have the decency to just call and explain. Getting a copy-paste rejection after all that is insulting.
Been through this. It feels like dating someone who says they love you and then ghosts. Professional ghosting is so real
Sorry dude. Companies love to preach ‘candidate experience’ and then do exactly this. Absolute clowns
Ughhh Been there. the ‘you’re our top pick!’ line is such bullshit. they should just be honest instead of stringing you along
They really don’t get how draining and demoralizing it is to keep candidates hanging like that!
That’s so frustrating. I've been applying since January. I've experienced this myself. It;s really a bummer. sorry you had to deal with that, it’s such an awful way to treat candidates.
made it to final round after like 5 interviews. hiring manager legit said I was the top pick. then silence. no update, no closure. 2 weeks later I get a copy paste email sayin “we’re not moving forward at this time.” cool. thanks for wasting my time lmao. why even put ppl thru all that if you’re just gonna disappear??
