Why would a chain retail employer take more than a month to give you shifts if at all? (mander.xyz)

Is there some advantage in having employees just doing nothing? I got an offer in early june, got paid for training and induction, got the uniform, and then, radio silence.

I chased them up on the phone three times and today, when I called yet again they asked me to send them an email at a specific address. It's been over a month after I got the training btw.

I realise I need to look for new job obviously as these idiots are pulling my leg. But can someone explain why would they bother with recruitment if they don't need staff?

That assumes the place is run well.

Scheduling is a deceptively hard thing to do right. A lot of companies are just plain bad at it.
