My job loves to hand coachings left and right for literally anything they a deem a ''problem'' they claim it doesn't mean anything serious that it's just a slap on the hand but they get over zelous.

My partners ex employer tried to steal her holiday pay by saying government paid furlough during lockdown counted as holiday pay because she lived near a park. Lol. He still owes her £600+ in unpaid notice after sacking her because she stood up for herself.

The Parable of The Mexican Fisherman And Investment Banker

An American investment banker was taking a much-needed vacation in a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. The boat had several large, fresh fish in it. The investment banker was impressed by the quality of the fish and asked the Mexican how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, “Only a little while.” The banker then asked why he didn’t stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican fisherman replied he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs.

Ghosted twice

Found a really great job, interviewed twice, recruiter loved my background, said I had too much experience for offered job but she wanted to talk with senior management about finding a role for me. Ghosted me for 2 weeks. Emailed me back saying they had a recruitment pause but I'm an amazing candidate and she plans to speak to senior management about finding a role for me and she would get back to me no later than Wednesday (3 days later). I followed up, nothing. Now it's been 2 weeks again. This obviously seems like a red flag but the company has nothing but great reviews on Indeed and GlassDoor. They're not a startup. I know I should just move on but I was so excited about this company. Should I reach out again? Or truly just move on?
