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?

    If they fire you, you’ll probably be entitled to some form of unemployment benefits depending on where you live, if they keep dropping your hours until you quit then there’s no such strings attached.

      Look up rules for “constructive dismissal” in your jurisdiction. Not being given work can be counted as firing
