Like I get it, you’re trying to close off this job position (esp at EOFY) but you don’t have to bully me and say I blindsided you when I’ve been telling you the past month that I’m looking at other jobs, and your clients know that too??

XTN @xtineagerilla.bsky.social · Jun 17

Never have I ever felt so unsafe after talking to a recruiter (after telling them I don’t want to say yes to a verbal offer).
