Should I worry?
I got a SA offer for BB S&T in singapore. I currently go to school in London.
I received the offer 3 weeks ago via phone and accepted right away. HR said they would send the contract+paperwork to me via mail. I asked them how long it would take and they said typically 1-2 weeks. I waited for 2 weeks (last Tuesday) and called them to follow up. HR said just be patient it will get there and proceeded to send me an electronic copy of my contract via email.
6 days have passed and I still havn't received it yet. I called them again this morning and they gave me the same answer.
From talking to other people in the class who accepted offers a while ago, it only took them a week to a week and a half on average to receive their contract (students from both London and US). They told me they got their contract via UPS. So I called up UPS and asked them if there are any packages coming to my address, they said there's nothing in the system that's coming my way.
Should I be worried? How safe is my offer? If you got an offer on the phone from a BB, verbally accepted and received an electronic copy of the contract, is it 100% done deal?
I apologize if I sound way paranoid but it's been 3 weeks, even airmail should have gotten here, and the fact that UPS couldnt find anything in the system makes me even more worried.
you're screwed bud
Ask HR if you can email them a signed copy of the contract.
I did when I called 6 days ago and they said I need to fill out the employment application that comes with the mail so no
Keep asking HR about it, stay on top of things and try to fax or scan them the signed contract. No reason for them to renege, you're safe.
Paper copy probably got lost somehow during the mailing process. Would wait a few more days and then call again and ask them for another copy of the paperwork to be sent. Wouldn't stress though - you have an electronic copy.
Don't sweat it. It happened to me. I waited for a week and a half, mail never came. It was either the mailman delivering it to the wrong address or HR screwed up. I told them to sent it again overnight, and I got it a day or two later.
UH OH, REALLY BAD SIGN. you should be very worried, usually air courier mail only takes AT THE MAX 4 days to get to you.
point noted
ask for a soft copy. i would be concerned but i trust that the bank would at least be professional about it
You're fine.
you probably shouldn't have said that to PJC. Even though you were joking you're probably on half the FBI watch lists now.
are you trying to tell me that FBI agents never watch Team America?
your name is allah i'd be scared already
