I interviewed three separate times for over a month for a position that I felt fairly confident I would get, to be ultimately ghosted by the employer. I’m angry but ultimately feel scammed and like a rube.

I called and emailed three days after the date I was told I would receive an answer after the ridiculous hiring process I went through and no response. I want to send an email following up that isn't too straight up mean but that does have a bite to it. I think it's incredibly rude to have wasted my time and strung me along like this for what probably was just some job I would have been exploited for but I did get the impression that I was liked during my interviews. The whole nature of the hiring process was super unusual and I got some red flags such as cancelling less than an hour before one of my interviews via email for a meeting that was planned weeks in advance.

The whole nature of the hiring process was super unusual and I got some red flags such as cancelling less than an hour before one of my interviews via email for a meeting that was planned weeks in advance. Friends advised me to persist and look past it but in my experience in the area I live in most employers have been incredibly inept as well as unprofessional. This experience has only strengthened that belief for me.

I hate having to go through this ridiculous hiring process for a job when they can just ghost you like this. I wish I had just directed my energy elsewhere. I had actually been looking forward to this job but maybe I had dodged a bullet, either way I'm a bit wounded and hate the job economy in this city even more for it. Fuck work. Should I just let it go or should I send another email asking for closure?
