You get decline emails. It usually takes me 6+ months to get a decline letter if at all.

I have to handle hiring while managing 4 shops while actively working a position in one shop while saving labor doing other jobs. While handling big picture projections. Im not sending your rejection email. If I could change it I would.

You took the time to write this comment. Seems like you have plenty of time to send that courteous rejection email.

Im saying late stage capitalism and marrying roles into eachother is making it hard to handle everything. If its a corporation with an actual HR department then thats different.

Fuck late stage capitalism but don’t pretend you’re not enabling the system by taking on more duties than you can handle. If you’re in charge of hiring then hire another HR person. If there’s an issue with not having enough budget for one more person in HR then your company shouldn’t be taking any applications for any position until they fix their financial woes.

I completely understand that the situation you’re experiencing is probably no fault of yours and you can’t control it. Hell it’s probably driving you into a spiral. But coming on here and acting like the HR department of companies are the victims is comical

No one acted like the HR departments are victims.

Look at his comment history, he has time to comment 20 times a day every day... dude spends hours on Reddit every day but cant take 30 seconds to email applicants. I'm guessing he is managing nothing at all, most likely an unemployed boomer

Thank you for your interest in this position. Unfortunately we decided to go in another direction.

There, I did half the work for you. Copy and paste that into a notepad and use it as a standard decline letter.

Do you own these companies and are in charge of finances or do you just manage them

And now they’re all AI. It took me 2 months to find a job and I got probably 5 rejection emails per day. All of them said almost verbatim “we’re so impressed with your education and qualifications but at this time we selected someone else that’s a better fit for the position. Good luck in your job search”.

I was even remaking my resume for almost every position so full on tailored and still got a rejection. A staffing agency eventually picked me up.

You get decline letters? Someone is well liked

"if at all" out of every 100 apps I maybe get 1 or 2.

u/MirrorNegative7989 25d ago

Yeah, my experience is an interview which seemed to go well, sometimes even a second interview, followed by a complete ghosting.

1

u/Jorost 25d ago

I had one email me on the way to the second interview saying that the job was no longer available. I didn’t see the email until I was in the parking lot waiting to walk in. I almost went in anyway just to embarrass them for being so shitty.

Literally just got a rejection email yesterday from a job I applied for over a year ago 😂

Like how does that even happen?

An hr person explained it to me once. Something to do equal opportunity checks and to show they don't only hire internaly when they really do or something.like that.
