This one took the cake. Applied to a full-time position with a company where I would be doing merchandising and warehouse type work. Initial phone interview went great, then had an interview with that person and another over Zoom. That went great too, but at some point they mentioned the original full-time position had been filled with a current employee and that the role I was going for was part-time. I was okay with that, in truth, because I also do ride-share driving. So, they want to offer me the job, pay would be $17/hr with basically no benefits.
Told them thank you but I would like an offer letter and then I will respond back. In the email responding back I note that the pay is not in the range I thought it would be (somewhere between $20-25/hr). He reminds me that this isn't for the full time role and that this one pays $17-19/hr. They are now offering me $19/hr. I counter this offer by saying I would like a slight bump in pay to $20/hr after 60 days of employment, and if that can be met I will accept. They told me that sounded acceptable and that they would get back to me soon on next steps. I eventually get an email saying everything isn't almost sorted out and there shouldn't be any issues, so they arrange for a time next week for me to start, fill out paperwork, and train. I tell them I will see them then.
A couple of hours later I get the email: After some consideration with management we've decided you are overqualified for this role.
Sorry if not related the best, the whole thing has me a bit worked up.
