Feeling absolutely crushed. This job is the best in my industry, and has basically unmatched pay. 200k/year, a pension, free healthcare, unionized. I smashed the interview, taking the one day off I manage to get a week to fly out for 7 hours. All went well. I shook hands with the hiring manager and my actual reporting managers, got fingerprinted, flew home. Signed an offer letter. Filled out my paperwork, tax forms, etc. Immediately after completing my tax forms, the application updates with, "Thank you for your interest, unfortunately this position is no longer available." I try to call up the recruiter manager, who was super responsive before. I get one text saying, "Sorry I'm busy right now." Two hours pass, I try again. No luck. A few hours after that, no luck. I even had her assistant's number who *always* answers, so I called her up, no luck. I called the company HR, I kid you not, the call disconnects when I press the number to check on the status of my application. I try calling three more times, this time it connects, but all I can hear is static. I felt like I had this in the palm of my hands. Everything went AMAZINGLY. I was already thinking of the future, investments, spoiling my family, getting a nice big house and a car that runs well. But now here I am, once again in the dirt. It's like the universe is mocking me, some poor peasant who thought he'd be able to escape the suffering and live the good life. Feeling very depressed right now
