This is the story about a job offer that was unbelievable to begin with and how I blew it. Not a story really. A few hours of mental suffering where I asked un-reasonable demands such as 4 day work week and some sing up bonus to pay off loans. I asked my manager, if he could make it happen. I only did it because I was pumped up after reading a few blogs where it said you should always negotiate. I was a fool who had divulged a lot to the future employer about my current situation and they knew I did not have any other offers. Still I asked for these. They sent an email the next day that they won't be able to honor the offer, without mentioning any reason. Now here I am at the end of the current contract with no potential jobs or interviews.And this contract ended because I told them about the other offer and they knew I was going to leave sooner or later. I feel so ashamed of myself that I blew this so bad and thought I had to write about it and face the shame.
