So I came up near Abbott early, figuring I’d find a place with wi-fi, grab some lunch, and prep before my interview at 1 PM. At about 11:30 AM, I get a phone call from the recruiter. There’s a slight problem: Abbott has cancelled the job order. No interviews, no nothing.
I could rant and whine and complain here, but that would be counterproductive. Thanks anyway to roho and genet for their support and feren for his extended hospitality. Maybe there’s still some possibilities at Abbott – I’ll keep chasing it down until I’m sure there’s nothing to be had.
Meanwhile, back to the drawing board.
Oh dude… that’s so raw it’s still moving.
I’m so sorry. That would have been excellent.
…
Wow. There isn’t much to say other than to offer a hug and hopes that you stop getting slapped around in this way pretty soon. Take care, and I’ll see you tonight.
*hugs*
Sorry…that was a rotten thing of them to do. It could have been worse I suppose…they could have interviewed you knowing there was no opening.
damn…that blows especially since you stayed in the city longer just for them :/
*hugs*
Intel pulled the same crap on me when I was in Portland, so I definitely understand the magnitude of suck. *hug*
Good luck on your search, pooch. I’m sure something will turn up.
*hugs really tight* I’m sorry. That f*cking blows…
I really wish there was something I can say or do to make it all better.
Damn. That sucks pond water and blows dirty snowballs.
*big-hug*
Nuts! Sorry that happened, Dunc.
*supportative hugs and best wishes for something better to come along*
Aw crap. Let me join the chorus in saying that I’m really sorry to hear this. I had hope that you guys would be able to move up here. (Not to mention I’m all too aware of how much it sucks to be out of a job: let’s ask Good Luck for all of us on that front!)
[hug] That really stinks. I hope the search picks up soon!
