Assuming they're being honest, it tells me that they are not very strong in
background checking. How could they have missed the fact that you've been
with one company for more than 10 years. I've NEVER ever heard of a company
offering a job and then withdrawing the offer, period, much less before
total background check. I believe that I can fully understand the idea of
wanting IT staff that has a varied background which would include more than
one job over a decade. I think you are fortunate that you didn't take the
job because it sounds to me that the organization isn't of the highest
quality, if you catch my drift. Sometimes things happen for the best in
spite of your best efforts. They didn't vet you, but how well did you vet
them! It's also obvious that they don't recognize talent when they see it!

I feel for you.
But try and look at this way. If they can't see the value you can offer now
then it would only be a continual uphill fight if you were employed by them.
You are better off with an employer that shares your values.

"Because we feel you are not diversified enough to address our issues."
Same issues I have addressed over the years poor issue management, no
project management, no documentation, crashing servers, IT staff treating
the network like a high school lab.. etc. Not only can I stop the bleeding
and stabilize the patient (gave then how I would do it), I can implement a
more proactive approach to IT management and stop the fires (also gave
details.)
I guess they rather have the fires...

That makes no sense - why do they care where you were for 15
years...Sorry to hear that Jacob.
I just started a new position - temp for 9 months, nice place - nice
people so far.
I'm getting into MAC/Linux support so it's a stretch for me (windows
background), but it's a job and a chance to learn.
Good luck!

Nothing sucks more than being interviewed for a position at a
different company last Tuesday, then being called Thursday to say we
are going to offer you a position and finally being told today that we
changed our mind... "We did not realize you were with the same company
for 15 years..." WTF?
