<prompt> Human: I had an interview for a company on May 18th, I have email correspondence that says they want me to buy the flight to the interview as they do not want my personal information or to mess up the flight scheduling, but they will reimburse me for the flights cost. Whatever, figure thats a normalish thing to occur. I go to the interview and we we are not on the same wavelength, so I knew it wasnt going to work out as did they. I called them two weeks ago and asked when I was going to get reimbursed for my flight, they said they were still working on it. Is there a specific time I should wait for this reimbursement? What are the steps I should take if they just never send anything back to me? Maybe Im overreacting, but I gave them the price of my flight well before I even went to the interview, so theyve known the cost of it for nearly two months now. Just seems a little off to me.Edit 1. Sent an email out to the person I was in correspondence with previously asking for an ETA. Will update on how she responds. Edit 2. Because of some comments made Ill clarify some things. Ive already accepted a position at a different company. I heard about this company through my friend who was trying to do business with them. So cant exactly burn bridges here, but am more than willing to write a Glassdoor review on the interview process if this drags on. Edit 3. Heard back from my correspondent at the company saying the payment will be processed in July. Kind of wish it was a set date, but Ill take it for now. Assistant: I had a similar situation. I had an interview with a company out of state. Luckily, they paid the airfare and hotel fees upfront. They agreed to reimburse me for my car rental, which was several hundred dollars. I interviewed in late October and did not receive my reimbursement until January. Like you, I think there was definitely a delay due to me rejecting their multiple offers. I just got a bad vibe from several of the team members I interviewed with felt like they were robots...no family, lack of facial expressions, etc and the two previous employees in that position left after a year. I was initially sending an email per week to my HE contact there asking for an update. In each email, I included copies of my receipts for the car rental and their email stating they would reimburse my car rental expenses. After a month, I started emailing the HR contact almost daily. I dont think the HR person liked me either because a direct family member of mine also was being recruited by the same company and rejected their offer. That HR person happened to the contact for my relative too. Just be consistent with you emails, ask for updates, and provide all relevant info too. It will get resolved. If its over three months though, I would tell them you will be pursuing legal action if they dont reimburse you by a certain date. Human: Strange feeling Im in quite the similar boat as you, they wanted to hire me, but the pay they were suggesting I would make was simply not worth my time. I made them aware of that which they did not exactly appreciate as they thought a recent college grad would jump at any offer it seemed. Assistant: Many businesses think its still 2008, when a college grad would jump at any job to not work at IHOP.Spoiler alert: If you cant find good help today, its because youre not paying enough.Human: I graduated in December from a top 25 public university with an engineering degree. They were thinking somewhere along the lines of 22 dollars an hour. I guess my face did not hide my emotions that well, as the person who told me that dollar value was the president of the company. He wasnt too pleased. For reference, they employ roughly 25 people and work in the plastics industry. Assistant: Its almost an insult to pay that low to an engineer. Thats what my first job paid me right off the bat and I left without a month, granted there were other issues at play. Im making 13 more per hour at this job. Im not sure if that first company is still opening as the oldest employee at the time was 4 months old. Human: I got paid more at my internships than that too. At the end of the interview he half scolded me for it too. Saying something along the lines of you could be making triple that in five years if you put your time in here and do all the training. Theres way more to the story, but yeah once I heard the empty promises I was like uh no thanks.  <response>: You could be Put in your timeYeah - no. How about you pay me what Im worth.
