Post office job bait and switch?

He was floored because he rightfully assumed it would be in a crappy location and even crappy hours but WTF? So frustrated because he has applied to dozens and dozens of places and hears nothing. The other place he had a great interview, hiring guy gave him his personal cell, as did the other interviewer, lots of positive feedback, ghosted him entirely. If one more person says to either of us- everyone is hiring- why aren’t you working yet-we May smash their face. Rant over.
