I would like to take the chance to post a public service announcement. This is a sort of follow up from a previous post. I had applied for a job and interviewed extensively with people from company “A” only to be told that the people at company “A” were merging with company “B” so I would soon be an employee for company “B.” Then, I am told, (three weeks into the process, mind you) that company “A” is contracting the position from company “C” and that I would actually be employed by company “C” not “A” or “B.”
On the first day of the near fourth week of my interviewing and negotiating with them, I am told that the benefits, which were boasted in the initial job posting, do not exist. I went to their site this morning only to receive an error message stating that the posting had been removed by the user.
Fools Gold
I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I left a voicemail with them stating that they were engaging in false advertising. Lucky for me I took a screen shot of the posting. I am usually wary of recruiters or recruiting agencies, but this particular company assured me that they weren’t recruiters that they were in fact the outsourced HR department for the company. I’ll give you a hint about the company…it is highly related to something that rhymes with schmorgage blending.

now the posting is back and available for viewing. I thought perhaps…ok so maybe they took it down to alter their posting. Nope.
