Due to the fact I can't drive and am suffering from acute agoraphobia, I've been applying exclusively to fully remote positions.

Due to the fact I can't drive and am suffering from acute agoraphobia, I've been applying exclusively to fully remote positions. I have a lot of call center experience, so I've been trying to leverage that. I got asked yesterday to interview for one of those positions, and scheduled it for today.

Interviewer: So this position is fully remote, but you will be required to report once a month to our office in Markham.

Me: I thought this was a fully remote position.

Interviewer: It is, but it's important to the culture of the buisness that we have one day in the office a month.

Me: The reason I applied is because I don't drive and the position is advertised as fully remote. Asking me to travel 2.5 hours each way to Markham once a month would be a hardship, and doesn't really correspond to the description of fully remote.

Interviewer: Well that is a requirement of the job, so I guess we'll just end the interview here then. Thank you for your time.

Gotta love a good bait and switch.
