    Has anyone had their phone call answered by Deloitte?

    I just said to my other half there I wasn't even going to attempt to call because I imagine everyone will be ringing. Hopefully we get answers soon. Can't be that hard to send a batch email telling people results are delayed if that's the case

    I agree. The way they have funneled expectations into everyone finding out yesterday has created pointless anxiety for all involved, however sitting in a phone queue will make it worse, not better. Try and ignore your emails until lunch then re-visit.

    I would like to think they are penalised in some way for missing these deadlines.

    Really not that surprised though.

    I'm sure they probably have something in the small print that allows for over running deadlines and keeps themselves covered.

    I would say recruitment are shutting up shop for the holidays now.

    Won't make a lot of difference to them until the New Year I wouldn't think.

    Just off the phone with Deloitte. According to the girl who answered the 17th was an "indicative" date meant as a guide and should not have been taken literally and they hope to have results out before 5pm today. Yet another day checking emails every 15 minutes lol

    Ha. Certainly was explained as an indicative date on test days.

    Sounds like back tracking.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Thats what i said to the girl on the phone. Also explained that the guy had very specifically said that if we hadnt heard by 5pm on the 17th then by all means phone on the 18th. But Deloitte being Deloitte that was quickly swept under the rug.

    I can imagine.

    Would be easier just to say "we are running a bit behind, but results will be sent today. Sorry".

    Exactly. Just own up to the fact you're running behind and send an email to tell people so they're not all sitting thinking they havent made it.

    I'm not sure I did my IST at the very start, so can't see it being batched in date order. I wonder if the non passes go out first then the passes.

    Unfortunately so far it's been bad news, we'll have to wait and see when ours come in!
