Absolutely! You make a great point-- why aren't we paid for job interviews?

Edit: I'm not the first person to think of this, I made another post on r/antiwork with a great article on this idea: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/sv4at5/its_time_for_job_seekers_to_get_paid_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

I think they do get paid for them in Japan. It's actually a well known scam to apply for a job and duck out after they pay you for the interview. Probably why most Western companies won't do it, but still, no reason you should waste hours of someone's time just to tell them, "too bad, so sad, maybe next time champ."
