First, they got my name wrong in the first message they send me. Not a big deal, everyone makes mistakes. Next, they tell me that they're going to call me at a time, day and time zone that already had passed by the time they sent me the message. After that, they send me a message intended for another applicant, referring to that applicant by name. The name they use is a very strange name that I suspect is a misspelling of a common name.

So that's two or three typos and a message sent to the wrong person. Do I win a prize?

I have a friend who applied for a job and was accidentally included in an internal email where a guy at the company called him a 'total liar' for listing a degree on resume that he was currently in school for (noting it on his resume that he was currently in the curriculum for it).

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

I was forgotten about for 3 weeks when I was confirmed hired.
I called the company and they had no idea who I was, then I called the person who did my interview, and she said "oh yeah, you can start tonight"

Been with them 10 years now lol.

They said they would call today, but now it's nearly a half hour past the time they said they would call, and I'm still waiting.

Sounds like the person on HR is really bad at their job.

at least they're not pulling a stunt where they're just doing interviews to meet some quota and already have filled the "open" position. I was unfortunate enough to get screwed over on that.

Yesterday, almost two hours after they said that they'd call, they said they'd call at the same time today instead. So here's hoping I actually get to talk to them.

Again, why do you want to work for them?
