Thirty years ago something similar happened to me. They emailed me an offer with the expectation that I agree asap but when I answered I need a few days to think about it, they rescinded the offer with the reasons they weren't sure that I was really enthousiastic about the job. Note that I am Deaf and it is common that employers were always very wary about employing me. I was lucky. I found something else. And shortly thereafter that company (Meyer Burger) executed a mass lay-off. Now I am semi-retired and when I read horror stories about job search and lay-offs I always tell to myself that I am extremely lucky being out of the "Hamsterrad" (a German idiom literally meaning hamster wheel).
