Today, after months of job searching I got a job interview. I also later got a phone call from the manager informing me they burned down, and all current employees will be relocated or dismissed, and that my interview, scheduled for tomorrow, is postponed indefinitely. FML

All those people that had jobs that suddenly disappear - screw them. But F your life for not getting a job you never had and may not have had anyway? Self-centered.

Wow, "the place burned down". Great excuse to not hire you, I'll use that in the future. It's like telling ugly people who want to go out with you, "Sorry, I'm dead."

# 24 is right, at least you weren't there when it burned down, or if you started working there already and it burned down without pay, troublesome either way. Good luck job hunting
