That has happened to me before. Also: we did a reorg and the team you were interviewing with no longer exists. Also: the manager who made you an offer was fired, so we are rescinding your offer.

I graduated college right as the economy tanked dramatically. Local companies were rabidly trying to recruit me, I had a dozen legit job offers.

Then, a week before I graduated, they all pulled their offers one by one. Everyone I knew by name at all of these companies was laid off at the same time. Spent the next two years temping because I was “overqualified” to work at companies like Best Buy.

My favorite was when the CEO decided to put an immediate moratorium on hiring and just fired all the recruiters, so my whole interview process suddenly went cold. I had no idea why until I eventually read about it in the news.

That’s exactly how I lost a full-time technical position at Apple. Weird.
