Not completely true. On the bid I got out on, 2 people together were trying to get to TPA and one didn’t get it so the other turned it down.
Other people also turned down offers in this period. Not a fan of this. So obviously some competition.
I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t think I was pretty much surely getting out though. The facility I put in for was high on the priority list (I don’t think they should have been as high as they were) and I wasn’t a piece of shit. Asshole, yes.
I also had a swap back out on me for one place the round before when I could have ERR’d there and took the raise and fucked him over, but didn’t. Let that be a lesson.
Lastly I got out of ZNY pre NCEPT after a decade on an ERR during a narrow window that seemed to be like a Haley’s Comet appearance for releases.
All Without a hardship, supervisor bid, TMU bid or fake harassment deal. That’s more unique.
