    I honestly just assume its fake when they dont name drop. I have no doubt it happens, but its just rage bait without any context.

      Based on a true story

      Don’t doubt that each of those things were used by various companies to not hire people, but listing them all at once in a rejection letter that no companies send anymore is a bit too on the nose.

      It may be, but key words are “it happens”.

      This is anecdotal, but when I got my very first job interview at a somewhat big local company back when I was 19, the interviewer was apparently very eager to hire me, until I mentioned the salary topic, then her face changed from excited to like “rude, we’re not hiring this guy” almost immediately.

      I would name drop them if I remembered the company name.

      They ghosted me tho
