After they told me over the phone it wasn't a mistake and I was on my own I'd probably have marched myself back to the company and been like "WTF?! I came all the way out here, across the entire country for this interview and now you leave me stranded here unable to get home?! I'm going to sit here until you sort this out or until you have security throw me out. If security throw me out, you can be sure you'll be hearing from my lawyer and the press when I get home!"
- dawnerd 8y agoExactly. And no mention of the where or what company. Sounds suspicious to me.
- balabaster 8y agoI'm always one to consider my reputation and professionalism before I speak, but if this were true, I would definitely be naming names - right down to the name of the employee who cancelled my ticket. I'd be livid. Though, I've had times in my life where I have had to take a chance on job interviews that I didn't have the money to get to. I drove to Vancouver from Calgary with $20 in my pocket, borrowed $50 for a rail pass and crashed on someone's couch on the promise of an interview that wasn't even a guarantee of a job because I was so broke. I got the job and it was water under the bridge, but if I hadn't got the job, I'd have been screwed.
- ryanmercer 8y ago> I'd probably have marched myself back to the company and been like... Nah, I'd do it like this "Since you've cancelled my return flight, and I have no means, I'll be contacting local press and seeing if they have any interest in my story. My second round of calls will be to local law firms to see if they have any interest in becoming part of case law in exchange for some pro bono work since you've left me no way to get home after my interview with me".
