This job seeker was drawn in by a hiring manager's promise of a flexible working environment. The interviewer promised that they would be able to work remotely some of the time in a "hybrid" style of arrangement.
They went all the way through the interview and hiring process and were three days into orientation and training before they were first acquainted with the person who would be their new manager. It wasn't until they asked this would-be manager about the flexible schedule that the manager dropped this ridiculous bombshell on them. Turns out… The company's "hybrid" policy was that you're allowed to go home and work only after your shift is done. "You can work from home after five," the boss told them. The job seeker was "floored" as any of us would have been. It's hard to believe that the company tried to pull this malarky off and managed to keep a straight face while doing it.
As commenters were quick to point out, the company probably couldn't care less about their wasted time and resources. They certainly don't care about the candidate's wasted time and resources either. Their ultimate goal is to trap people in who are vulnerable or just don't know any better.
