I get interviews but dont have the motivation to turn up.

So I have been working full time at Waitrose for just over a year now and over the past month I have been applying for jobs in an office environment, I have been applying for jobs such as Sale Advisers and Office Administrators, I have been applying as I really do not want to be a Waitrose for much longer, I don't hate it, I just find it very boring, some days can be hell with the rude customers, but I mainly can't deal with the shifts.

Anyways, since I have been applying I have had 3 interviews, turned up for 1 and missed 2, I know I am a bad person for doing this as I am making somebody else miss out on an interview, I do contact the company telling them I can't make the interview a day or 2 before, but why do I do it, I know asking people on here is probably stupid since it's me getting the interview, but when I apply and actually get the interview, I feel so good inside, but the closer it gets, the less interested I get in the job I applied for, I know I could atleast turn up for the interview, but if I am honest, I can't be bothered, I do want to leave waitrose asap, but I just can't seem to find the motivation to go to interviews.

Have you thought about how the employer feels about this?

Sorry but I’ve seen it from the other angle.

I hope not, and nobody should.

Companies tend to have no respect for interviewees - for instance, lying about the job description and requirements, and simply ghosting unsuccessful interviewees. Why should interviewees care about the company's fee-fees?

Worrying about how your employer feels is the only opening up another avenue for them to exploit you. Your employer's job is to extract as much value from you as possible while sending as little of it your way as possible.

Have you thought about how the employer feels about this? My father used to manage a petrol station and lost count of the people who didn’t turn up for the interview or, having passed the interview, didn’t turn up on their start date. It is very rude to the employer, as well as dispiriting to them.

People who get jobs demonstrate keenness and commitment, so with your attitude even if you turned up, the job may well have gone to someone who actually cares.

Please reflect on what you have done, and vow to change in future if you want to improve your life and get a better job.

Honestly get out of that muggy mindset lmao. Those employers are profiting off paying you the minimum they can get away with. You don't owe anybody sh*t, even the people applying (which it won't really affect them anyway, they'll probably be offered after you declined).

It's still polite to decline an interview in writing, since you may have to go begging for a job you declined a few years later.

f*ck polite and f*ck them lmao. But yeah I doubt they'll remember you applied, do they even keep applications that long

Not all employers are bad, but I do feel the lower in the food chain you are (retail work, admin work), the more an employer is extracting as much as they can from you.

Remember back to when you had that issue with not getting paid from an ex employer. Waitrose won’t seem so bad then!

That you don't have the motivation is usually pretty self-explanatory: you just don't want the job

Not everyone loves their job, and most of us bear it as a means to an end

Sometimes ye just have to make do, but it seems that ye could actually do better but aren't taking a) the work or b) yourself seriously enough. some self-reflection is needed to see which it is, then you decide how to tackle it: could be that other lines of work are what is needed, or it could simply be an attitude adjustment that is needed
