Why would a chain retail employer take more than a month to give you shifts if at all? (mander.xyz)

Is there some advantage in having employees just doing nothing? I got an offer in early june, got paid for training and induction, got the uniform, and then, radio silence.

I chased them up on the phone three times and today, when I called yet again they asked me to send them an email at a specific address. It's been over a month after I got the training btw.

I realise I need to look for new job obviously as these idiots are pulling my leg. But can someone explain why would they bother with recruitment if they don't need staff?

There's always a possibility that they had your hours in last quarter's budget, but had their new quarter's budget slashed due to low sales, and they're too chickenshit to tell you. Or, they were set to lose an employee and, for whatever reason, didn't.

Either way, I'd just find something else. Obviously they don't give a rats ass about your time and need for money, so fuck em.

Agreed. It's really helpful to see these replies, it's so easy to lose objectivity when upset
