[dupe] Potential employer flew me out for interview, cancels return flight (workplace.stackexchange.com)

I actually had this happen once. I charged my return flight, and sent them a bill along with some legal letterhead, for the flight, an extra day hotel stay, and 3 taxi trips. My lawyer made 2 follow up calls and it was paid within the month. The outfit in NYC, is no longer in business. I wonder why. I still remember his sob story about needing the money. Hard to need the money more than someone trapped 1000 miles from home. Dispite being non-religious, I sincerely hope the lowest depths of hell await these types of people.


One time my company flew out an interviewee, he was great but decided to go with another company -- that he interviewed at during his trip. Although me and my co-owners were a bit miffed, the idea of cancelling the flight is beyond the pale.



Name and shame. That's one of the shadiest interviewing moves I've ever heard of. They don't deserve good engineers, ever.
