Why do they do this?
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?

It’s so annoying. I get a lot “you’ll hear from me by the end of the week”…and I don’t. I feel like they are saying it with the best of intentions but then they are setting your expectations to be let down. It’s totally normal not to hear for a week or two…
