What the title says, just need to vent. I accepted a job offer verbally and was told that I would receive the contract the following week. By the time next week came around, I instead got an email about how they will not be moving forward with the role due to issues with headcount, which I assume is financial troubles.
I’m really devasted by this, not necessarily because I got rejected for this specific job at this specific company, but because I was so excited to get back into a 9-5 in my field of work after 1.5 years of leaving my previous toxic work environment. I also did countless rounds of interviews/presentations for this so now I am just tired.
This situation has naturally led me to feel really insecure in not just career, but other parts of my life where I feel anxiety seeping through almost every aspect of my life which I know is an internal problem
now that I have to deal with. And now I have trust issues with jobs, I feel that I can’t even fully celebrate a job offer in the future.
