I’ve been to interviews that were literally scams. Nah man you have to provide the good faith effort on your end too.
lol so have I. Went to an interview for a warehouse job when I was 18 and it turned out to be an attempt to get me to sell vacuums that was also an amway style pyramid scheme. Fuck those people for wasting my time.
I’ve heard of restaurants that have applicants do a ‘trial’ shift for no pay, and then never call back. They manage to line up a new person every night this way.
If I found out somewhere was doing that I would report them to whoever I could
Trial shifts are a thing, but at least in the US they have to be paid to be legal. And wage theft, if reported, actually results in penalties for the fraudulent employer.
