I dont normally make threads but Ive been angry about this for the past couple days so I gotta vent about it.
TLDR: Showed up early for a interview, supervisor was late,she offered me the job,next day claimed theres a hiring delay and op has been angry since.
So I had an interview for a position for the city last week.
I get there about 20-30min early.The supervisor(the interviewer) ended up being 20-30min late.Other than that the interview went fine and she gave me a verbal offer and I said yes to the position.
The next day I email her in the afternoon around 3 to thank her for the interview.
She ends up telling me that unknowingly to her she was told that morning she has to delay all hiring.I asked in a follow up about at timeframe and she responded she doesnt know when it will end. I thanked her for her time and consideration.
After that a couple days pass and I email her
She hadnt responded. Moms said I sounded agressive and honestly she could be right but idk I feel that im not in the wrong and did what I was supposed to do and even tried to be considerate...
In mind im thinking: How did you not know about a delay in your department???
The job was posted since feb and you find out about a hiring delay may 9th the day after my interview....
.
Not only that you were late too? If the roles were reversed as a job seeker theres no way I could be 30 min late and not know whats going on at an interview as a young black male.I understand hiring freezes but really?

So I wont be able to give you more than the two weeks time that I talked about during the interview as far as hiring goes.
I understand that you didnt know about the hiring delay but after the 28th of May I cant make any guarantees about accepting the Microbiologist I position if it was offered to me considering there is no current timeframe for how long the delay will continue.
I was also under the impression that you gave me a verbal offer as well during the interview. If this was the case then I may reconsider if the delay goes beyond that two weeks.
