I have worked there for ten years and it was a management position I went for. Interview was last week and they said they’d let us know this week ‘hopefully on Wednesday but realistically Thursday’.
office is closed now.
im guessing it’s a probably a no then, what do you think?
im off on holiday tomorrow and don’t want them calling me on holiday really.

Person who is making final decision off sick/on holiday
If they have offered it to someone else that person hasn't replied
They're still making a decision.

When I was interviewing I generally accepted that if I hadn't heard by what I considered to be a reasonable timeframe (couple of weeks), then I'd been unsuccessful and got on with things.

Sorry, just seen it's internal. Any chance you could nudge HR before you go?

Yes I thought perhaps they need confirmation that the person ir was offered to was going to take it before they let other candidates know. Not off sick I’m sure.

Yes I do think they should let me know as it’s internal. They also know I’m on holiday tomorrow

My work can sometimes take longer if 2 people are equal on points and then HR have to get involved as independent reviewers.

Still not heard back. They said they’d let us know last week
