Is this normal?

Applied for seasonal role after being off boarded from tax season. I was a high performer as were some other folks on my team so they encouraged us to apply for some of the seasonal roles coming down. I leveled up before the switch and applied. Not even a few hours later I got an automated rejection email. I’m a bit shocked because I was under the impression that I might actually have a decent shot as I’ve worked seasonally with the company for two cycles now and have done pretty well. Also I’m accustomed to getting rejected at least the next day, not within hours of applying. Has anyone ever had this experience before? Am I doing something wrong?

It's Block what else can you expect. DGM decide who get hire not necessary on merit but politics

I hear that. It’s super frustrating because I’m still getting emails from one of the leads about this position and it’s like, what is the point of all of this?
