Getting job offers that don't really exist

I heard some places have offered students jobs this year when there really isn't a position available. They signed contracts early on. So what happens when there is no job?

I don't think the students know yet 😱

Dude, this isn't anything new. Most retail chains will promise their new grads one thing and then deliver on another.

They'll dump everyone in the float pool and force them to travel if positions aren't available. Current pharmacists may leave their job once they receive their annual bonus (if any), thus opening up spots for new grabs or floaters. Lather, Rinse, Repeat next year.

Is this just because of the normal business cycle - jobs are available in Q4 when students are available Q2/Q3?
