I'm not sure what the hell happened. I was applying for the night shift and I know they knew this.
I go in and the interview was pretty straightforward. I thought it was going well.
All of a sudden they ask me if I wanted to work the day shift. I asked them why and they just seemed to give me a non-answer. Maybe they had a big pool to put potential applicants in? Needing a job of any kind, I wasn't exactly opposed to it, but I had college starting back up soon and was hoping to work the night shift.
I told them I wouldn't be opposed, but I was interested in the night shift.
They then seem to get put off / hostile by that remark. They tell me "oh well there's a separate application for that". If this sounds off, it should.
I was thinking to myself "Okay, but then why are you even asking me if I want the day shit? This is stupid. I clearly was interested in the night shift.
They ask what shifts I'm interested in.
"Whatever you give me, I can be flexible with my hours, I could even potentially pick up extra hours if need be".
They then seem to think I'm asking for overtime even though I clearly made no such allusion to that... they proceed to almost get mad at me that I said that (condescendingly), and told me there's a 30 hour cap.
Keep in mind I'm remaining very professional with them. I then say something along the lines of "I didn't know that, but I still understand and am willing".
This whole interview was very off, and they rejected my appliatoin less than 24 hours after. This was a while back. I've given it some thought, and I'm under the impression that Wegmans was either...
- trying to downsize while looking like they're trying to hire, looking at the state of the world rn that makes some sense but ffs they're wasting my time in the process
- trying to look like victims on a corporate scale during COVID, saying "We can't find any workers" while absolutely refusing to hire people, and profit off skeleton crews
- turning me away or against the job for whatever reason, odd b/c I had thought Wegmans was a good place to work so idk what could be going on behind the scenes, it's why I even applied
