Venting

So. As many of you are aware, I interviewed for a job a few weeks ago at a large company named after a piece of fruit (I'll give you one guess). Anyway, as you might have guessed, I'm really not hankering after a full-time job. But I feel/felt obligated to go through the motions because K's job is far from stable at the moment. And, frankly, as much as I love being a stay-at-home mom...I think I'd much prefer to take a full-time job vs. living out of my car.

Anyway...back to the main point of this post. So I went to the interview...did the follow-up thank you BS...and contacted the recruiter last week after a reasonable amount of time had passed to check in and see what was going on, if anything. She promptly responded to say she had a meeting with the hiring managers the following day and would get back to me before the week was out. This was on Wednesday September 9. Today it is Tuesday September 15. And I still have not heard back from said recruiter.

Now mind you...I do not claim to be very concerned about the outcome of all of this. So if I'm, for whatever reason, not a great fit...c'est la vie. But come on people! If you say you are going to follow-up, regardless of whether you have good, bad, or no news...then fucking DO IT!! It's not that hard!! You don't even have to pick up the phone!! You can simply take two seconds to cut and paste a form letter that says "sorry Charlie" or the equivalent!!

Jesus Christ people. I feel like I'm in the midst of a bad manner epidemic that is plaguing recruiters. What gives? Way to represent your company dipshit!

Grumble.
