I pretty much mentally checked out of the interview at that point. Stayed because I somewhat knew the interviewing manager

Bait and switch job postings are becoming more and more prevalent as employers seek new ways to attract jobseekers without actually paying their employees more money.

Isn't it because they usually pay employees half (hourly) if they get tips?

Yeah, that's a shitty precedent to set. Pay it forward. Accept the job but never show up.

Did you bring up the posting?

I see people complaining a lot about bait and switches (which are awful of course), but I never hear about what happens if/when they bring up the listing.

If I applied for $21/hr + tips, got there, and the manager said alright so the pay will be $12 plus tips...

I would damn near not even let them finish the sentence. But immediately, I would ask, hang on a sec, I have this posting right here that says 21/hr + tips. Is this not the job?

Given that its 21/12, its pretty easy for them in that case to say it was just a typo.

The more common type youll see is they advertise for one job, but when you show up to the interview they will say oh unfortunately that position has already been filled, but while youre here if youre interested we do have another opening and then try to interview you for a different, shittier job. In reality, the advertised job never existed, they just wanted to get people in there because once youre there its easier for them to sell you on the shitty job.

Yeah I am not giving them the benefit of the doubt. There is entirely too much of this going on nowadays.

Personally I would tell them to go fuck themselves and then any time you see a post on Facebook about their hiring I would comment that they like to put out misleading job postings and bait and switch you with the salary. Fuck them.

Theyre doing this to trap people on unemployment because once you are offered a job on unemployment you legally have to take it. They rope people in with the $21 and then fuck them over with the $12 knowing you have to take it

I would stop the interview at the moment they said it was not $21.

Company: The pay is $12/hour
Me: The listing for the job I applied for said $21. Is it a different job?
Company: No, same job but we made a mistake with the pay.
Me: Ok, understandable. Well Im not interested in this job if it doesnt pay $21 and don't want to waste your or my time if that is the case.

Better than the time i went in for an interview and they were like "this job doesn't really exist." and i'm thinking a) why the fuck did you post the job and b) why the fuck you call me in

they did when i was job hunting back in like 2018-2019. both times i brought it up at the end when they asked if i had any more questions and i asked for a specific pay breakdown, and the interviewer got laughy and nervous and said it must have been a typo.

but now that they're actually hurting, the tactic just seems to be way more prevalent

An interview isn't the same as a job offer though.

Most states allow you to give reasons that you turned down a job offer while you're on unemployment and in most of those places "The job they offered was substantially different in pay (or role) " would be sufficient.
