This has happened to me a few times before when working in restaurants and customer service. I'd say this is deceitful behavior on the manager/boss's part, but in my past experiences it seems normal for them to do.
In restaurants I've worked in, I've noticed they would take me off the schedule for the next several days (3-5), which I initially thought was strange, until the manager would say they'd call me to tell me when I was working next after those few days. Then they never would.
I think it's a way to let you down easy, albeit in a completely inconsiderate way; because for me I'd rather be fired on the spot or told I didn't make the job and knowing I have to find a new one over thinking I had a job and an income when I didn't.
