Fellow monkeys, have you ever heard of HR putting you on a wait list solely because they want to cover their bases incase somebody reneges on their offer? I mean have you actually HEARD/EXPERIENCED something like this happening?
My friend is on a wait list for a BB, and this is her theory - which I think is ridiculous (Sorry Mimi ;))
Thanks for the input friends :)
