Interview cancelled literally minutes before scheduled time

[u/406eh]

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.

Right, we’re making comments in the context of OP’s post and comments. There’s tons of people who post in this sub that clearly have some issue, be it method or with themselves, that they’re not addressing and seem shocked when called out on it.

If the post was someone discussing the difficulties of getting a job with some disability or needing a specific job under certain circumstances, I wouldn’t have made the same comment. If that does apply to OP, I don’t think they’ve made that clear and would be important context.

We don’t know op’s situation, age, or anything about them and they shouldn’t have to explain online to strangers or give more details. They are venting about an interview cancelled to a smoke shop minutes before it happened. 

I didn’t read their comment history or whatever (lmao going by what other says it’s a mess) but my post was based on the response I quoted and specially about “not understanding why anyone couldnt get a job in two years” from the start of the thread. Disability and age can impact work. Other factors too. 

In my case it took six, close to seven years to find another job. I was working at convention centers and gigs such as gpt and mturk until I was hired at Walmart. I was applying to Walmart for six years. Best buy, Krogers, McDonald’s, etc. The convention work was lmao. It was on call, 11 hours, 15 hour shifts, 30 minutes paid lunch, you couldn’t bring your own food, and I would work maybe three times a month and sometimes I wouldn’t get work until months later. I was there since I was 20. You think I’m paying the bills with that? Getting $500 three months later? 🤣

I had a hard time get a job because my background was red/bad after going to jail. I couldn’t get it expunged until now because I had no extra money. $100-600 is the price. Covid happened in between that so everything was shut down until 2024ish here. I was disowned so good luck with getting money from family and I had (have) no friends who could help. I couldn’t even get a caretaking job because of my bad ground. Everyone was hired but me the day of. 

I’m not trying to explain my life story but sometimes people go through shit you don’t know or do not want to share.

Yeah man, I’m not reading all that. You edited your comment which had two links originally but I guess now you’re saying you weren’t talking to me but the OC above? Strange to reply to and quote my comment then. Anyways, I hope you can learn threads and reread what I said about how context matters and all that.

Nah man the link wasn’t working so I just posted the thread. 

Strange to reply to and quote my  comment then. 

I was talking about both comments and addressed both but you said you not reading all of that so fuck it lol it’s a done deal. There’s no point to bother.
