Last October I spoke to a staffing agency to transfer from my then job, to a much better one, I was supposed to start the new job at the end of October, but it was pushed back to the end of November.
I was laid off November after requesting a leave of absence to take care of my fiancé who had miscarried, naturally, I was promptly fired. I never got the new job, because they decided that I no longer already had the position and instead I needed to interview again internally with the company, I interviewed, and didn’t get the position.
I’m offered a different position by the same company. I go through their fingerprints and background checks, but they tell me I have to wait until January to start. January comes around, I have to wait until February.
4 days before my role starts (it was supposed to start today) they call and tell me that their system isn’t processing my background check in time so I can’t start and that I need to apply for other jobs.
My unemployment is running out soon and I based my whole life around the idea that I was about to get this job. First of all, it’s insane that this well known company dragged this process out for months, only to snatch it from me at the last second. I don’t know what to do anymore.
