I am pretty bummed

[miso]

The general counsel for a company I really wanted to work for just called to tell me that, because of a pending merger, the assistant general counsel position for which I was a top contender will likely be located in Boston now.

I feel like crying.

It was such the perfect job.

[miso]

And I'm so sad that I can't write good no more. Eff.

[fryjack2]

Would you be open to relocated here? I mean, it snowed today so that sucked, but it's a pretty great place to live for the most part!

I'm sorry that this opening didn't work out. I hope another one comes along very soon.

[FastHands]

Shit. I'm sorry. You will find what's right.

[ginap]

That sucks.

[pagas]

I'm so sorry, I know there is something out there even better!

[bania]

I'm so sorry Miso

[Deleted]

Ugh that sucks.


You don't want to relocate right?

I lived there four years, so I'm familiar with the city (which is part of the reason why the GC called me personally to tell me -- he thought he might be able to convince me to relocate).

But I really don't want to move. Both our families are here, and that is priceless.

I seriously thought this was The Job. Damnit.

That really sucks. I'm sorry

[DotAndBuzz]

I'm sorry. That sucks.

[pantsparty]

Oh no I'm so sorry.

[happywife]

Sorry, friend, I hope something better is right around the corner!

[nahoku]

Sucky. I'm sorry, miso

[onomatopoeia]

I'm sorry.

ETA: If you were top contender, and it's not 100% yet that the job will move to Boston, would there be a chance the GC can work to have the position stay in the city you live in?

[cville]

That FUCKING SUCKS.

[sugarbear]

I'm sorry. I do love Boston, but I wouldn't be willing to move away from my family either.

[BirdGirl]

Fuck, man. That's all I've got.

He said he appreciated my candor in telling him I didn't want to move and said he would keep my resume on file in case anything changed.

I made sure he knew how excited I was to be considered and basically said how disappointed I was about the Boston thing because opportunities like this one (in my field) are rare.

It was a nice call (even though I'm down in the dumps now).

Seriously, if it were Palo Alto or San Francisco, I'd probably consider moving. Boston is just too far.

[dana2006]

I'm sorry you're let down. Hugs.

[fryjack2]

Oh, right. I knew that you lived here.

I'm sorry. Any chance you can attempt to convince him to work from there and travel to the Boston office once a month or something similar? Might be worth a shot to suggest it?


Ignore me if what I said makes no sense. I obviously don't know the firm or the merger logistics. Just want you to be happy and employed again. (Miso)

[suzyp]

Ugh, I am sorry.

[miso]

He said the job would require three weeks in Boston and one week in L.A. every month.

Reverse that, no problem!

But that's not the case.

[miso]

I want to eat a whole pizza now.

And fries.

[duff]

I'm so sorry, what shitty news.

[noodleskooze]

I'm sorry. The whole job-search process can be really defeating. Hoping something even more perfect comes your way very soon.

I'm sorry That is really disheartening.

I think it is such a letdown because I seriously think I would've gotten the job.

[sequins]

That sucks, Miso I'm sorry

[konapoppy]

Ugh I am sorry.

[thedutchgirl]

Oh man. That sucks. I'm so sorry.
