Today, I found out the works council won't let the company offer me the job for which I was the only applicant because the council requires 3 years experience with the company. I've only been here for 2 years, 10 months, and 26 days. FML

Last I checked, 2 years 10 months and 26 days still doesn't add up to 3 years. You would be surprised how common it is for companies to do that.

Actually, as of last August, 2 years 10 months and 26 days was changed to 3 years. 100 seconds was changed to 2 minutes, `leap years happen every 3.5 years, and the numbers 7, 9, 12, and 15 are the same.

Just wait around 4 or 5 days (or 2 in February or 3 in a leap day February) and a month, and reapply then. And pray that another qualified applicant doesn’t bumble upon that opening. - Signed Math Wizard

They should give you the job with a start date in five weeks after the three years is up. Unless of course they were hoping there'd be another applicant and they're using a technicality to wiggle out of the job offer. I hope they find a way to hire you.
