As in all things sales, even during interviews you will get lied to

Funny story....

Interviewed with a company, had a direct comversation with the hiring manager (3rd meeting) who answered my direct question of moving to the next interview with a yes. But it was all bs. No call back, no responses to me, just the automated email for a role I was not interviewing for.

Now, I am being reached out to by that same company, cough, Johnson Controls for a different role. Clearly, I don't think it's going to work out....

As with all things sales, people will flat out lie to you rather than enter a potential conflict. Always do yourself a favor and probe deeply in to any discussions with another person about anything. Why is the answer yes? Why choose us? What is your implementation date? Why not move forward now, what changes during x month? List could go on for some time....
