I still haven't started my new job. I have no clue when I will start my new job. The IT Director at the company I will be working for has been away from the office and thus hasn't had a chance to sign all the paperwork to bring me on. I was supposed to start last Monday. Then it was pushed to Friday. Now I don't know when. Very frustrating.
And this of course does nothing to help our tenuous at best financial situation. - DB, Just DB #TeamMonique
The director hasn't responded to the multiple inquiries my contract company has made on my behalf. In the back of my head I'm wondering why it's been 3 weeks since I turned in notice at my old job and this still hasn't been taken care of. It has me more than a little nervous wondering what kind of situation I'm getting myself into with this company. Can someone higher up the chain sign off on this? Like a VP or something? Ugh. I could have kept on working if I knew this was going to happen. - DB, Just DB #TeamMonique
Ugh. :( I'm so sorry. Let us know how we can help. - LB: #TeamMonique
Oh man, that does stink. I hope they let you know soon. That is not a good first impression. - Anika
That's awful! I hope they get this sorted out quickly and that communication (and follow-through) is much better, once you're on board. - Russian Space Lizard
That's really bad planning by them, and must be incredibly frustrating. I hope they sort it out for you on Monday :( - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
:(( - Pixie
Ugh, that's awful, D. Anyone you can talk to at the new job outside of the director? Someone in HR? - Derrick
I have the name of the manager I'll be working for but no contact info. When I tried to get his info at the end of the interview (to send follow up thank you notes) he and the other guy were reluctant and ended up not giving their cards. So any contact I have with them has to go through the contract company for now. I'm hoping that this can just be chalked up to last week being a holiday week and folks were just out of town. That being said I am definitely going to start the job search back up. Until they get off their tails I'm jobless and that's a position we literally can't afford to be in for long. - DB, Just DB #TeamMonique
