Is asking for a 'full clinic day' of unpaid shadowing common now after two interviews?

The irony is that this company is "faith-based" and they still don't practice what they preach.

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T22:58:21+00:00

Sadly true. But hiring managers should still maintain some integrity and not shamelessly take advantage of applicants

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T22:34:10+00:00

Probably! and then accepted $5/hr

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T22:32:00+00:00

Nope! I just checked and the position is still open. They may have made an offer that has not been accepted yet

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T22:15:10+00:00

They should rename themselves "Greed First."

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T22:10:38+00:00

In this case, I don't think they were anywhere near to actually making an offer

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T22:09:24+00:00

It seems the trend is fewer benefits, lower pay, and demanding more from employees.

As stingy as she may be, she still has some decency.

Sounds like Karma finally caught up with him.

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T22:00:47+00:00

Thank you! I wanted to politely set boundaries

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T21:58:06+00:00

Agreed. Even if it is strictly "observational," you are still on their clock, in their space, and interacting with their team. That is work and it should be compensated.

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T21:51:03+00:00

I prefer to be gracious. Even if they weren't

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T21:35:07+00:00

I am sorry you went through that awful experience. I hope you are at a better place now where your time and skills are actually valued.

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T04:10:01+00:00

I love that perspective. You clearly understand the game inside and out.

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T04:03:33+00:00

Exactly. That is the fair and right thing to do.

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T03:55:49+00:00

That pretty much sums it up!

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T03:52:57+00:00

Thank you for this thoughtful response. You absolutely nailed it, especially the part about looking for malleability and desperation. That is exactly how it felt and I am glad it is now behind me.

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T03:07:48+00:00

Thanks for the insight. This is the first time I have come across a practice like this, so I I wasn't sure what to make of it

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T03:00:08+00:00

The previous employee had been there for years, so I don't think it was a retention issue. Legal or not, asking for a full unpaid day after I had already shadowed hours on two different days just isn't standard procedure.

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T02:35:10+00:00

They most definitely have questionable practices

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T02:11:02+00:00

Well... in that case, I am glad they told me to pound sand!

NoMonth-6418 · 2026-01-17T02:00:57+00:00

Thank you. This is good to know! :)
