I hate people sometimes...

So Mr MB interviewed for a new job last week. He was sought out by this company, interviewed, got a second interview and was offered the job. He was given an account list.

Soooo - he was supposed to tender his resignation at his present job today and the "new" manager told him to hold off until Monday so he can "iron out some details"

Okaaayyy :shrug:

Mr MB finds out from a friend in the same industry that the "new" manager was interviewing people last night - for the job he offered Mr MB last Friday :wtf:

So now I feel like these people are shady and he should not work for them. He figures that they had to do these "courtesy interviews" and since they told him to still go pee in the cup today. He is under the impression that they would not want to pay for him to pee in the cup if they did not want him.

So - what do you all think...

:mad: :nuke: :mad:

1. was the offer in writing

that would be the big sign, to me, that they were serious.

4. Nothing in writing, but they did give him the

account list, which in sales is the golden ticket.

2. it isn't that expensive to ask someone to pee in a cup

they are hedging their bets

I'd hold off on tendering the resignation

get the job offer in writing at least

of course in a right to work state that is useless unless it is a contract job.

:shrug:

sounds pathetic

the old oxymoron

business ethics :eyes:

5. That is what my friend said

These people were probably interviewed on "favors" they collected and they really do want Mr MB since he still has to go pee in the cup today.

At least he still has A job...

9. Could it be a formality, that they had to interview X amount of people?

10. Always get job offers in writing

Some prospective employers will get nervous thinking you only want it to get a raise from your current employer. Just tell them that you have known people who have accepted verbal offers of employment and quit their jobs and then had the offer rescinded as a result of some misunderstanding on their part. Tell them you're not going to continue working for your present employer after blackmailing them into a raise because you'd have no future there. You only want them to put their commitments down on paper so there is no miscommunications of the sort that could lead you into being unemployed
