Job Eliminated....its been 2 months.
Some background for the last few months...
I was in administration for a construction company from about 2022 to October 2024 when I was laid off for budget cuts. Managers didn't give a shit and were very rude about the whole thing basically get your shit and get out. Well in December I got hired with an agency and was due to start first week of January but no hard date just a vague first week of Jan. Did the onboarding, drug test, background check everything came back clean as a whistle even signed the offer letter. First week of January came and went and no one contacted me. By the end of the second week I just showed up at their office to be like ready to work. Caught the HR woman and the Project Manager I interviewed with (this was all done over Teams) and they said "oh...you yeah we don't have a start date for you at this time" and when I showed them the offer letter and called them out on it they said "we'll get back to you we still want to hire you since everything was good we just need to wait" but didn't specify why. I never heard from them again but I did send them an email saying I'd been ghosted by better relationships than this.
Middle of Feb I interviewed at a different construction company and was hired right away. Things were good at first. Until today when I had a meeting with the managers and they all said "we're so sorry we didn't mean to hire this position we're eliminating your job" no PTO pay out no severance just a final check. I just signed up for benefits YESTERDAY BECAUSE I JUST HIT 60 DAYS! Managers realized they didn't know what kind of hire they wanted and realized they didn't actually need my role. I turned down other good job offers for these fuckers.
So yeah...shit sucks fam
