Cuz on January 17th the manager at my job told me and everyone at the meeting tht I got the full time position and everyone clapping. On Jan 31st I message her and ask for an update and she said she would message the director AGAIN bout the PAPERWORK. I haven't received any update so I message the director myself yesterday and she said there's no full time position. So I was told I got the full time position but now all of the sudden I don’t.
