I am sorry to hear what happened with you. I think, in my case at least, that it was not intentional but a typical case of disorganization. Since candidates do not know the procedures, the hiring unit employees end up either giving the wrong information or the generic response of no vacancy " do not bother me I am busy" answer. I wish there was a better way of communicating with candidates. I hope you get called soon.

SENIOR MODERATOR, Thank you very much for the information. This is very helpful.

I was Originally called on 06/10. They called texted, and email. I went to 180 Livingston on June 15th to do the drug test. On June 17th at 8:45 am I received a call from one of their staff analysts saying that I missed an appointment for the physical. I explained that I just did the Drug test less than 2 days and he said that they called and spoke to me, which did not happen. Then he said they sent an email that should have his first and last name as the sender not the usual NYCT employment. The e mail went to junk mail since it was sent from a different email. I asked to go to do the test but he instructed me that the class is starting in 3 days and because of Juneteenth holiday, I have to reach out to DCAS and restore my name. I reached out to DCAS who said that my name is already on the list. I emailed NYCT 3 times and heard nothing from them. I went to 180 Livingston 3 times only to be told that: " there is no vacancies for TA Bus Operators" despite seeing other candidates who were 300 numbers after me on the list there and when I told them that they said that this is misinformation. The numbers were clear; there was no misinformation there they started classes on June 20th, July 4th, July 18th. Since I was receiving generic messages from them, I started doing interviews for other jobs. Thankfully, I received an offer for a job with private company. Now, I was contacted by them to go do the preemployment again with no clear indications of when I will be called to do the physical or what method of communication will they use this time ( some applicants get emails, some get phone calls). Now, I have to respond to the other job offer from the private company but I am worried that if I refuse it, I will not get the NYCT call and I end up losing both. They seem to operate with no oversight or standard procedure and no regards to anything. Their staff analysts and labor relations analysts do not respond to inquiries as if these inquiries are from street beggars disrupting their post pandemic dine out. Is there any one in charge of the hiring unit that we can reach out to to improve the dismal hiring procedures? Are the staff analysts held to any professional standards or even common human decency?
