Today I was supposed to be meeting with the hiring manager to go over my offer letter.

However, she didn’t show up. We’d both confirmed that the time worked for both of us prior. But she didn’t show up… I emailed her twice. Haven’t heard back. Should I be worried that I’m not gonna get the role anymore?

I would not jump to conclusions. Follow up tomorrow, perhaps something happened and she was unable to reach out?

I agree with Jackie. Allow some space and time and follow up tomorrow. If she doesn't reply, please, do not take it personally. Ghosting says everything about the other person and nothing about you. I'm happy to help if you have more questions about the follow up!

I had this happen twice. I gave up after the 2nd time they missed connecting with me. But then all of a sudden a few days later they contacted me again. So I gave it another shot. ~ I've now celebrated my 4.5 months with them. So I would follow up tomorrow. You never know what happened to the other person. And if it is meant to work out it will. Or a better job will come along. Though if they are supposed to be your supervisor this could be a red flag.... if it keeps happening.
