On the other side...

I'm so dead sick of those "thank you for applying, you are so awesome and amazing! But we went with another guy" emails

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago

I'd rather have that email than being ghosted by the company you applied at. Which happens more often than not.

The alternative is to not know, I don't care if they send a nicely worded rejection over ghosting.

A lot of bitter job-hunters in this post.

Yeah, that's what happens after a few hundred ai stirred rejection letters

At least it’s something to let you know. I got down to a final 2 interview and haven’t heard anything from the company in a week even though I thought I had pretty good chances. I’d rather take a wishy washy answer over no answer at all.

What do you want to read if you were really good, but the other candidate was a touch better? Do you really want to receive a "fuck you" letter?
