The company is huge!?
I interviewed with the boss, Simon, and we had a very pleasant two-hour conversation.
I received a verbal offer on the spot, and we exchanged business cards and added each other on LINE.
After returning home, I submitted my resignation to my current company and told the boss when I would be available to start.
During that time, I did not receive an offer letter. When I asked via LINE, the message was read but left unanswered.
The next day, HR called to say that due to changes in the company’s organizational structure, the position was temporarily no longer needed, so they could not issue me an offer letter. However, during the interview, the boss had said that the position was needed precisely because of organizational changes. I also told HR that I had received a verbal offer from the boss during the interview, leaving HR at a loss and able only to repeatedly apologize to me.
I contacted the boss again via LINE, saying that I had just received a call from HR and wanted to understand whether there had been some miscommunication.
The boss read the message and ignored it again. This is the kind of management a company’s boss has—such a lack of respect for people surely means employees would not be respected much either.
I even resigned early because of this, which left me with a gap between jobs.
