As some of you know, back in December I applied for an IT position with my company. I was offered the job and accepted. They wanted me to start Jan 1, but my supervisor wanted to keep me an extra month to train some new techs. Eh, I wasn't happy but so be it.
I was given an offfer letter (in writing) and accepted it (in writing). Late in January, I was called by the hiring manager stating that due to cutbacks they wouldn't be able to hire me onto the team. (insert yelling and screaming) but she said that if they did get the position open again, they would try to get it to me if I applied.
I know my company's level of ethics and I knew it wasn't the best promise since they seemed to have hired on another person in the past few months.
This past week I noticed that they reposted the position. I swallowed my ethical pride and applied for it, it's still a good opprotunity. Friday, I got a call from the hiring manger that she wanted to offer me the job (again) with the same pay, bonus, etc.. that I was offered back in December.
My new start date is going to be August 18th, let's hope it stays that way this time. (This means i'll be pseudo-out of retail. I won't be dealing with our external customers, only internal customers).
