The job interview process can be incredibly arduous and time-consuming; applying for a new role can be like working a second part-time or full-time job. This is made all the worse by how long it takes most organizations to conduct their interview process; it can be multiple weeks, even months before you know whether or not you have gotten a position you have been interviewing for. Of course, you'd like to think that you have some security once you've signed the contract and are awaiting the start of your first day, but games like this add another element of uncertainty to the mix.
This worker was due to start their first day of work at a new job; then, 12 hours before their first shift, they received a message from the employer informing them that they were changing the location of their role.
I'll give you one guess as to which industry this job was in… Of course! It's retail! What other industry would think they could get away with treating new employees like this? This is a classic bait and switch, and some retail operations will even write into your contract that they have the right to move your place of work without notice to another store within a given region.
