Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML
Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML
Today, I drove two and a half hours to a job interview. The interviewer never showed up or called. I sat in the hotel lobby waiting for an hour and a half. Even the hotel staff said they felt sorry for me. FML
Today, I had an interview scheduled for 10:05. When I got there, someone was talking to them, so I sat down to wait. Little did I know this wait would be 45 minutes. I got told to go home and that I'd be rescheduled. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. The person giving me my interview was late, and while waiting for them I fell asleep. When they arrived, they didn't even bother interviewing me because they thought I was irresponsible since I fell asleep because they were late. FML
Today, I had a job interview, but I arrived kind of late. I was in so much of a hurry that I hit a woman walking by in the face with the door. I offered to drive her to the hospital. Turns out that she was going to be interviewing me. She didn't offer to reschedule. FML
Today, my hours got cut because I couldn't make it into work when they called me in. Why couldn't I make it in? I was in an interview for a better job. I didn't get the job. FML
Today, wanting to be on time for my first job interview, I woke up at the crack of dawn and walked almost an hour through a thunderstorm. When I arrived, I was told that the manager wasn't in today, because of the bad weather. FML
Today, I had a job interview that I had spent hours preparing for it. When I arrived, the interviewer told me the position had been filled already and they forgot to notify me. I wasted a whole fucking day for nothing. FML

Yeah, you do NOT want to work for a company like that. I once had my manager change my schedule without bothering to inform me first and proceeded to chastise me for being late. I refused to allow him to do that and after that, he was pretty petty toward me.

Call them out. Show that you never had an email or phone call/text notifying you of the change.

Wouldn’t want to work for them anyway. If they’re going to pull that sort of crap, they’ll almost certainly try other unethical/illegal conduct.

Do you really want to work for such assholes? I hope they reimbursed you for your travel expenses. If they don’t, take them to small claims court.

I had something similar happen. The shifts where I work have had to change a little due to people being in school and such. One of the managers complained to another that I was 15 minutes late, when I actually showed up when I was scheduled to. Luckily the manager who told me he complained wasn't mad and actually didn't believe him.

If they have a posting on a hiring site that allows you to leave feedback or reviews, leave one. Other applicants should know that they're pulling these stunts.

It sounds like it would be a terrible place to work for. They do this now think what they would do if you were actually employed by them?

Sounds like they were looking for an excuse not to interview you, for whatever reason

They probably thought you were too close to Dumbledore.

Give their company bad publicity.

It’s not even worth feeling bad about it
