I applied for a Project Manager position at a local chemical company. They seemed highly interested in me and brought me in for 3 interviews. The third interview I even spoke to the owner of the whole company and that was a positive experience. I was given an email that I was selected and to call the manager of the department before they sent the offer.
I called the manager only to find out bad news. They said they selected someone else but wanted to give me an opportunity as a foreman working 6am-430 pm at 25$ per hour. Only .75 days PTO accrued per month. Needless to say I’m shattered. I have a gf that lives in the city, I just got my degree, have worked for years at 25 an hour already and was going to finally move up. I am at a loss for words.
If anyone has any kind words or ideas on what to do next is appreciate anything. I have already told everyone I know that I got the job and this was supposed to be a big step forward for me in my life. Only to find I’m stuck where I’ve always been as a wage slave on hourly pay in operations. It’s been a hard day.
