Long story short, I had an interview with a county run long term care facility about 6 months ago. I quickly realized that they lied in their ads and weren't going to pay the $17/hr promised and instead would pay $12ish/hr and if I jumped through enough hoops then and only then would I make the amount that they advertised, which would take at least a month, if not much longer. I politely explained that this wasn't going to work for me and instead of wasting more of their or my time we should stop the interview and go our own ways.
Fast forward to the present and my situation is a bit different so I applied again. I was scheduled for an interview, then I got an email from them stating that because I did not complete the interview process before that they would not be able to proceed with this interview. I found this absurd, both in general and because of how desperate they are in particular and as such I sent them an email asking if having turned them down before I am permanently banned from ever applying again. I got a frankly whiny reply from them that didn't directly answer that question, but reiterated what was already stated that since I didn't finish my interview before they wouldn't be able to proceed with the scheduled interview.
I talked to my wife about this and she said that is called "Blacklisting" and it is illegal - but I couldn't find any info for it being illegal in Pennsylvania. As such I came here to ask the professionals, is this okay for them to do and if not what can I do about it?
