My 21 year old nephew showed up to a warehouse for a fairly large US retailer to apply for a job and was told to apply online. He did so, was interviewed over the phone, and then was emailed a day and time to come in for training. He showed up early on the day but when he arrived, was asked why he was there and that he couldn't just show up for work whenever he wanted. He was completely confused and told on the spot they had emailed him a different day and time. He came home dejected and we checked his email – nothing – nothing in spam – nothing. He then got an email a few hours later and was told they were not pursuing his employment any further and that they had already emailed him about now wanting to hire him a week prior – again – no email.
Why? He wants to work. Has good references. The place has massive turnover. Is the hiring manager just that bad? Pay was decent, nothing amazing. Just don't understand and don't really think there's much he can do because he wasn't even an employee – they wasted two weeks of his time when he could have been looking elsewhere. Just ranting. Thanks.
