I have been applying for other jobs and had had a brief interview with a company about a week and a half ago. I was told they would let me know if they wanted to move ahead with an interview request later that week. I had a busy week and forgot to respond on the email I received (on a Thursday) until the following Monday. I was then told they were moving forward with other candidates. I reached out and asked what the issue was… as I never got a chance to interview… and was told I didn’t respond quick enough and that’s why they were moving forward. I’m sorry I have a life…? And another job…? And why do I need to answer emails on the weekend? I received the email in the afternoon on Thursday… just didn’t have time to respond. Am I insane to think I need to respond to emails after 5 pm?
