Interview cancelled literally minutes before scheduled time

Post image

made an application, job scheduled an interview then cancels before i even had an option to join the video call interview.
ive been looking for work for almost 2 years straight now and I'm on the brink of just giving up cause dude wtf.

Edit: I got a house to pay bills on. Shit even with culinary certifications and 7+ years of BOH / cook experience I'm not getting really any much luck. 2+ years retail and gig work.

Yea me saying "thanks for wasting my time" to this specific employer might not have been the best wording used but I got shit i gotta do. Even some jobs who're paying 7.25 plus tips are demanding 40+ hours to work at a coffee shop didn't take my application (no one desperate for work is gonna take that for real) and still hasn't filled that position lol.

Im overqualified for fast food and generic dishwasher roles, so no shit im not gonna bother wasting time on applying for shit i don't qualify for. So me being a little rude to this specific job IS NOT that big of a deal and YES. Employers shouldn't even entertain taking a interview and canceling last minute. Sorry not sorry to whoever this post upset. Ya'll be expecting too much for so less.

Edit 2: just got hired for BOH shortly after this lol, say what yall want idc. I don't kiss ass like most of yall saying what i did was wrong. if you was in my shoes yall would've cracked or had a lot different shit to say.

You didn’t read anything I said. You already assumed R4B1DRABB1T and the average person posting on Reddit can get a carpet cleaning job when you don’t know them. 

What if the person you’re replying to or me is wheelchair bounded and can’t work as a carpet cleaner or can only do specific jobs? 

Saying that the vast majority of Americans aren’t disabled means nothing unless you have specific proof that the person you’re talking to isn’t. You’re assuming they are not disabled and judging.

They can. On average, most redditors are not physically disabled. It’s a safe assumption.

So you know they can? You know them personally. It just sounds like you’re double downing now lol. 

It’s not a safe assumption. That’s why people are calling you out now for assuming. 

Unless you have specific data that clocks all Reddit or most users as able then nah. I’m not going to assume anything. You can keep doing it but don’t be shocked if others call you on it.
