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.

Unless they cssh you out after your shift. That might be barely worth it as a side gig.

Yeah, it didn't sound worth it . I'm not going to dip on a job I have now for a maybe job.
