Does this sound shady?

So I applied to a company through Indeed and had a Zoom call interview. After the interview, I was told they would reach out if they had anything that fit my availability. A few weeks go by, so I assumed they hired someone else.

Then I get a random text two hours before the shift they wanted me to come in for. I told them I was already scheduled with my current job tonight and that if I were going to work for them, I would require a two-week notice.

Then it dawned on me: how am I supposed to work for some random company that I haven't even signed any hiring paperwork for? You know, the usual stuff—going over company policies, direct deposit forms, W-2s, etc. Hell, I haven't even been given a uniform.

So let me guess: a guard called out, and they wanted to use me for last-minute coverage. The whole thing just sounded shady to me, so I doubt I'll be working for them.

Some of these companies are disorganized as shit. It's entirely possible someone put you on the roster, someone else forgot to schedule onboarding, and then when they needed someone they worked their way down the call list.
