Hi, i'm visiting Tunis this week from tues-fri. I'm an experienced drummer and i really love playing in the cities i visit. Does anyone know of any open jam meetups or events in or near Tunis? I did check Jammin Tunis, but unfortunately their open night is Monday!

Would also be up for meeting up with any local musicians just to jam for fun!

This is going to sound like a bit of an insane story and I can only just give my word that this is true.

Several months ago i applied to several roles within a company, i had an interview or two, and then didn't hear anything back (some of the roles i applied for were rejected). I didn't think anything of it, until last month, when i suddenly received a call from a recruiter offering me a really good position with them - more senior than i expected and in an area I haven't as much experience. I did raise my confusion with him but he just apologized for how long it took and said he's not surprised i couldn't remember.

I accepted the offer, then started the onboarding process, including signing all employment documentation, transferring my SC clearance, completing fairly intense employee vetting and even received a company phone and laptop. I did think this all odd, but did some fairly intense study to prepare myself for the position and as things progressed reassured myself i was probably entering a team of juniors, or that they couldn't find anyone else for the job.

I then got a call from one of the team members, casually giving me information on my start date, and then they started mentioning details about me that didn't add up, despite my name being what they expected, my background didn't match what they had down. They ended the call after confirming my name.

I got a call the next day, informing me that two people with the same first and last name had applied for similar positions in the company, and that the company had accidentally contacted me and offered the job instead of the other individual, who was more experienced.

After this, they withdrew my job offer, despite my start date being in a week and having turned down interviews with other companies and making some plans around this.

They apologized for the mistake and offered me an interview with the team, albeit a lower position for less salary - which is understandable.

Does anyone have any idea what my options are here? Do I have any legal basis to claim any compensation (if i don't get given/accept the position they are offering)?

In my contract, i had a 3 month probation and during that time a 1 week notice period.

I'm honestly quite gob smacked as I feel like they've basically dictated the direction of my life for a month.
