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?

    I had this happen years ago for a part time job, hired and trained showed up on day 1 they said they overhired for a new store and didn’t need me, it was awkward but I stuck around a few hours letting them know I am still ready to work until they reassigned me to another nearby store until a spot did open up.

      So shitty they did that to you. “We overhired”. Like hell you did, how do you accidentally hire someone extra? You mean a spot closed. You didn’t just forget and hire two people for one job.
