Showed up for a non-existent interview

I’m so frustrated. I decided to update my resume and see what other jobs are out there. I found a decent job (lower pay than what I get now… but with the way things are going I don’t care). I did a phone interview and scheduled a time to come in for the in-person interview. To even schedule the interview I had to postpone a bunch of other stuff.

I am so dumbfounded at the lack of respect for my time. And even more dumbfounded at the lack of communication in such a large organization.

No apology, no explanation…
