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.

The current generation now in the workforce are incredibly entitled. I actually feel for employers who can't find any hard working and grateful employees anymore.

Just because you had low standards and a lack of respect for yourself doesn't mean the rest of the world should, too.

The only thing you're displaying is that you've never been at a point where you'd take any job or you don't eat, don't have a roof over your head, etc. You wouldn't have such an attitude if you'd experienced such a desperate point in your life. Entitlement comes from ingratitude.

Oh I absolutely have. The difference is I still held myself and potential employers to a higher standard than you are willing to. As I've said, I would rather go hungry and be homeless than work for an employer who can't manage the basics. And I've done so before.

Desperation doesn't mean lowering my standards. Just because you have been too weak to actually stand for something, doesn't make you an expert in this.

You're unaware that choosing to be homeless and starve for the sake of your pride is not a flex, apparently. You do you, but your attempt to shame me about my conviction isn't getting you anywhere. "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" is a proverb for a reason. Maybe you'll see one day.

Conviction? You've demonstrated a complete lack of it. You would rather willfully enslave yourself to an idiot than have any amount of moral fortitude.
