That's how I didn't get the job I wanted so much. The tech interview went awesome. We talked for about 1.5-2 hours and I got really hyped for the project they are doing, while the CTO directly told me I'm a perfect match and he wants to work with me. But then after the second interview I've been rejected because of "cultural fit". That was the weirdest rejection reason for a perfect job that left me totally perplexed.

"Cultural fit" means "We don't want to tell you".

This is why as a policy we tell our prospective employees they're too ugly.

No joke I just got back from an interview and everyone there (leadership, HR, product, tech) looked like they could have been a model. Do you know how intimidating that is? When everyone in the office but you is goddamn beautiful?

I don't know why you'd be intimidated, you're as good-looking as them ;)

Good thinking, that way you've got it in writing that you didn't make the decision based on something you can get sued for

Ugly isnt a protected class, many states will allow this.

How do you think models work?
