After two interview rounds, a developer was told he would hear back by the end of the week. Two weeks passed with no word. Then he saw the same role reposted on LinkedIn. He sent a follow-up email, pointed but professional, noting the reposting and asking whether the process was still active. HR replied within fifteen minutes with an apology and an update. "The speed of that reply tells you everything you need to know," one Reddit commenter observed. "They had the time. They just did not use it until it became awkward."
