I doubt this will take off like, say, GlassDoor, but if it catches on, could be an interesting resource to make oneself feel better. Orders of magnitude more data are needed for this to be useful.

      Well then I’m still waiting for them to carryout their side of the bargain. I submitted an application and/or attended an interview and am waiting for them to make a decision. Obviously that ball’s not in my court otherwise I’d just tell them “I’m working here now!”

        otherwise I’d just tell them “I’m working here now!”

        Can be a surprisingly effective tactic sometimes.

        Just show up for work, start working. Later, complain to HR that you don’t seem to have gotten your onboarding materials, and your first paycheck is late. With a little luck, the HR person will think you were omitted due to an error in the system and they’ll manually add you. And then, congrats – you’ve got a job!

          Cats excel at this. I’m not sure I could pull it off at work.

          Where I have to go …

          Because a cat adopted me. Again.

          Not remotely true. Having a job does not remove you from the job market. If I accept an offer for my 5th most desired position and a month later receive an offer for my 1st, I am well within my rights, means, and desire to just switch again.

            So then isn’t the reverse also true? Just because the company has filled the position doesn’t mean they can’t change their mind? So they don’t need to tell you?

              The ball’s still in their court. They are welcome to change their mind, but they should conclude the immediate interaction. A “we have filled the position at this time. We’ll be in touch if anything changes.” message would be sufficient and easy to automate. They just don’t for … reasons.
