Does this ever work on anyone? I got an offer from Google that "expires in 5 days". I said, "I'm not going to decide that quickly, so I'll just re-apply when I'm sure I want to work there." Suddenly, the deadline was gone.
I've seen the same thing happen to 2 friends who applied to Microsoft, if you replace "gone" with "extended 2-3 months", which basically amounts to the same.
