Hopefully that delay is not a bullshtein excuse for them to interview others. Good luck man.

I know the delay is legit.  That doesn't mean however that the selection process won't be re-opened by HR fiat so as to allow another batch of internal folks who are "impacted" by the "re-org" to be considered.  So yeah, I hope that too.

So here's the end of this story:  As I thought, the offer was legit, but it took the company forever to make it.  HR wouldn't let them make the offer until they decided on all the other jobs they were "re-orging."  Fools.  My consulting gig was solid though, so I bided my time while they did all their stupid corporate crap.  Nor was I idle on the job search front.  I continued to "network" as these dirtballs call it.  4 1/2 months after the interviews, they gave me an offer.  It was crap.  I told them I wouldn't work for that.  They came back with a second offer that was decent enough to work for, but still underwhelming.  Luckily by this point, I had another option pending.  To make a long story short, over the ensuing two weeks I extracted the best offer out of each company, and made my decision.  The original company lost out.  Had they made an offer 30, or 60, or even 90 days after the interviews, I would have signed.  But they just couldn't get out of their own way to make the offer and they got beat out in the end by a direct competitor.

I'm pleased with the new job, glad to have stable work.  I'm implementing SAP again.  Yay.  :sly  All the same, it's good experience--this time on the supply chain side, rather than procurement--and I managed a nice increase in pay over the salary I had when I was laid off at the end of '04.

So there you have it.  Dio the corporate whore.  Sucking Satan's dick is my business, and business is good!

My hero succumbs and becomes a corporate stooge.

That does it.  I'm ending it all...

This story took 6 months to come to a very boring and uneventful end.  Boooooooo!


Congrats on the job though.

Stick it to the man Dio!!

Next thing you know, Dio will be voting Libertarian.   ;)
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

Corporate sucks...but not being able to support yourself/family sucks worse.  So, congrats.
