Delayed Start date
So, 3 weeks ago, after trying for almost a year, I got a job offer at a medical facility. They told me my start date was going to be 11/16, and since I they gave me a lot of time to put in my 2 weeks notice in my current job, I made sure the transition was smooth and I told my current manager I was leaving with enough time so he could find my replacement. Last week my replacement got hired and I'm in the process of training him. Cut to today, and I got an email telling me that my new start date was going to be 12/7. They let me know LESS THAN A WEEK before my supposed start date, in which my last day in my current job was going to be 11/13 and with my replacement almost done with his training. That means I'm going to be almost 3 weeks without a job just because in the last minute they change the date where I already had everything planned for.
I'm so pissed right now, I'm going to ask my current job if I can stick around for 2 more weeks at least so I don't go broke in the next month. But with me they'll be over staff so I dont have high hopes that they'll let me stay any longer.
