Yesterday, in the H.R. department...
OK, so the guy who said I'm hired (who has since left) was going to have HR call me and you never did. Is there someone here who knows about this?
Well, there's me, a VP about two or three levels above you, her executive assistant, and the person who'll be training you.
30 minutes of equivocation later...
And the paperwork I needed to sign?
Oh there isn't any. The guy who hired you left, but he's going to come back on Wednesday and file that with us. But you are hired.
I don't suppose you can help me figure out if I need to pay for COBRA for the 2 weeks between my severance pay ending and me coming back to work again...
Nope. All of our benefits personnel are on a three-hour lunch break. And they don't know anything, anyway.
