Still haven’t heard anything back from them in any sort of way. But thanks for making their circumstances even more clear!

Does anyone know if something urgent has been going on with MIRI, other than the Effective Altruism Summit? I am a job application candidate—I have no idea about my status as one. But I was promised a chat today, days ago, and nothing was arranged regarding time or medium. Now it is the end of the day. I sent my application weeks ago and have been in contact with 3 of the employees who seem to work on the management side of things. This is a bit frustrating. Ironically, I applied as Office Manager, and hope that (if hired) I would be doing my best to take care of these things—putting things on a calendar, working to help create a protocol for ‘rejecting’ or ‘accepting’ or ‘deferring’ employee applications, etc. Have other people had similar, disorganized correspondences with MIRI? Or have they mostly been organized, suggesting that I take this experience as a sure sign of rejection?
Heard back & talked with them. My personal issue is now resolved.
