Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML

Today, I woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML

Wait here

Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML

Today, I drove two and a half hours to a job interview. The interviewer never showed up or called. I sat in the hotel lobby waiting for an hour and a half. Even the hotel staff said they felt sorry for me. FML

Today, I had an interview scheduled for 10:05. When I got there, someone was talking to them, so I sat down to wait. Little did I know this wait would be 45 minutes. I got told to go home and that I'd be rescheduled. FML

Waste my time

Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML

Today, I went to a job interview. The person giving me my interview was late, and while waiting for them I fell asleep. When they arrived, they didn't even bother interviewing me because they thought I was irresponsible since I fell asleep because they were late. FML

Today, I had a job interview, but I arrived kind of late. I was in so much of a hurry that I hit a woman walking by in the face with the door. I offered to drive her to the hospital. Turns out that she was going to be interviewing me. She didn't offer to reschedule. FML

Today, my hours got cut because I couldn't make it into work when they called me in. Why couldn't I make it in? I was in an interview for a better job. I didn't get the job. FML

Today, wanting to be on time for my first job interview, I woke up at the crack of dawn and walked almost an hour through a thunderstorm. When I arrived, I was told that the manager wasn't in today, because of the bad weather. FML

Today, I had a job interview that I had spent hours preparing for it. When I arrived, the interviewer told me the position had been filled already and they forgot to notify me. I wasted a whole fucking day for nothing. FML

Yeah, you do NOT want to work for a company like that. I once had my manager change my schedule without bothering to inform me first and proceeded to chastise me for being late. I refused to allow him to do that and after that, he was pretty petty toward me.

Call them out. Show that you never had an email or phone call/text notifying you of the change.

Wouldn’t want to work for them anyway. If they’re going to pull that sort of crap, they’ll almost certainly try other unethical/illegal conduct.

Do you really want to work for such assholes? I hope they reimbursed you for your travel expenses. If they don’t, take them to small claims court.

I had something similar happen. The shifts where I work have had to change a little due to people being in school and such. One of the managers complained to another that I was 15 minutes late, when I actually showed up when I was scheduled to. Luckily the manager who told me he complained wasn't mad and actually didn't believe him.

If they have a posting on a hiring site that allows you to leave feedback or reviews, leave one. Other applicants should know that they're pulling these stunts.
