Company had me come in for 3 interviews for a position only to give it to someone else and offer me another position at lower pay after saying I got the job
I applied for a Project Manager position at a local chemical company. They seemed highly interested in me and brought me in for 3 interviews.
The third interview I even spoke to the owner of the whole company and that was a positive experience. I was given an email that I was selected and to call the manager of the department before they sent the offer.
I called the manager only to find out bad news. They said they selected someone else but wanted to give me an opportunity working 6am-430 pm at a lower salary.
Needless to say I’m shattered. I just got my degree, have worked for years and was going to finally move up. I am at a loss for words.
If anyone has any kind words or ideas on what to do next is appreciate anything. I have already told everyone I know that I got the job and this was supposed to be a big step forward for me in my life.
Only to find I’m stuck where I’ve always been as a wage slave, It’s been a hard day.

- Speak to your present HR now, tell them you want to rescind the offer of 2 weeks and if they will accept it. If they do, great-just stay there for at minimum 6 months. If HR doesn’t, start looking for another job ASAP aggressively. Do not take this bait and switch position that this new company offered. You arent the first and definitely not the last.
- Decline their offer. Let others know that you got bait and switched and the name of the company so that they know not to deal with that company, as an employee or a customer.
- That is complete disrespect and is only a sign of things to come at this place. I would leave immediately and keep looking for work. You don’t owe them anything at all.
