False “open interview” posting

Honestly not sure if this is ok to post here but I’m so frustrated. I just moved to a new state and was looking for work. I saw the local humane society was hiring for a few positions. I applied and it then brought me to a Google form saying they’re doing open interviews every Monday from 1-3 and to pick a date/time and show up. Perfect! I show up on Monday (a little weird it was a holiday but it was on the calendar so I chose it), wouldn’t you know it, I’m told… Lady: oh, we’re not doing open interviews anymore. Where did you see that? Me: on your website? There was a Google form and everything to fill out. Lady: oh, yeah that should’ve been taken down. Me: ok well what now? Lady: yeah.

I show up on Monday (a little weird it was a holiday but it was on the calendar so I chose it), wouldn’t you know it, I’m told…

Lady: oh, we’re not doing open interviews anymore. Where did you see that?

Me: on your website? There was a Google form and everything to fill out.

Lady: oh, yeah that should’ve been taken down.

Me: ok well what now?

Lady: yeah. I’ll have to tell my manager to take that down. But we’re not doing them anymore. I’ll take your name and number though and see if we can call you.

I was so upset. It just felt so wrong that they could have such a slip up and be so unapologetic about it. I drove 40 minutes to get there, dressed up, prepped with questions, the whole deal. Only to say it was a mistake.

Now we’re almost at the end of the week and guess what? THE OPEN INTERVIEW FORM IS STILL UP AND STILL SHOWS DATES AND TIMES TO SIGN UP.

A petty part of me wants to post it to a local group to get multiple people showing up for the next few Mondays. Or maybe I just keep showing up every Monday until it’s taken down.
