Why are they playing with my life?

[Feelingstuck101]

I applied for a job in December. Three interviews, background check, drug testing, and a clearance with the state authorities. I did all of that. They verbally confirmed my employment. I waited for the orientation date only to receive an e-mail stating they were going with another candidate. Today they e-mailed me again stating that they were removing my application for the position because they've been trying to reach me, but they've been having trouble. How can I hold my phone to my ear? I still have responsibilities. How could they be so horrible? To go from telling me I'm hired, then to telling me they went with another candidate, to telling me I've been unresponsive? They must be playing with me. I'm already exhausted. I really looked forward to working with them, but if this is how they operate, it may be best that I'm not employed with them. Gosh, just let me move on if you don't want me. This is the meanest trick I've seen in awhile. I'm still pushing forward. *Deep sighs*

Employers will do this and I would look at this as a positive. If this is how you feel you were treated, just imagine what would happen once you were there. Push on!
