This is in the jobs forum on Skins's island, and we all know what that means; the primitives don't pay attention to the job forum, and pack full the get-things-for-free forum.

Don't ask me to come for an interview if you have no intention of hiring me.
That annoys the piss out of me. It happens lots, IME. The workplace already knows who they're going to hire for the position. Yet they ask others to come for the interview, wasting these peoples' time and money.
I know, they do it because they're worried about possible litigation. It still ticks me off mightily.
Well, actually, franksolich has something to say about that, having been confronted with the same situation over and over again hin his own working life.
One can blame the Democrats, liberals, and primitves for this; all those "equal opportunity,: "fair employment," and "affirmative action" laws supported by the feel-gooders, but which don't do a damned thing other than making Democrats, liberals, and primitives feel good.
Companies and governmental agencies have always more or less "pre-determined" who they were, or are, going to hire to fill a position. It's prejudiced and probably unfair, but there's no way of proving it otherwise.
It used to be that one didn't hold interviews in many cases, but now because of these laws, employers--governmental and private--interview, so as to prove "compliance" with these "feel good" laws.
The raccoon primitive's right; it's a waste of time.
But the raccoon primitive needs to contemplate upon why this is.
