Why do they do this?

[u/lifestyle2001]

Why do hiring managers and hr people say they’ll give you an answer by X day and almost never meet this deadline? It only creates expectations and restlessness.

PS: I’m at the final stage of a super long hiring process and the head of people said I’m a finalist and would give my an answer by Thursday (yesterday) or today… Any advice?

People are busy and it's a holiday weekend. I wouldn't expect anything before Wednesday.

But yesterday and today isn’t a holiday, right?
