Sawdamizer Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 They are cleaning out their applicant queues. Probably never dispositioned the job ID.

Expand did i ever tell you i decided to go for the job i was talking to you about? it ended up losing me about 1.7k a year in salary after all was said and done. people are a lot nicer so i'm just taking the monetary loss as an increase in sanity. the PTO policy is still fucking bullshit but whatever

In my early thirties, I realized it wasnt all about the money.

Expand the work life balance is actually about the same, but i don't have to cut through so much red tape to get anything done and people usually trust what i tell them. that being said, the downside is that i'm now the main point of contact for the thing that i do know. however, the upside of that is job security

PhilosipherStoned Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Well I mean at least now you know they arent interested right? 😆
Gyaos Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 If I honestly received an email like that, I'd probably reply with something along the lines of: "Okay. Thanks for letting me know however many months later." I'm aware that it isn't good etiquette, but so many HR departments are out of touch with applicants that it's not even fucking funny.

Expand The fact you'd respond to an automatically generated email... would pretty much tell me we wouldnt want you anyways.

Expand Well, a good number of jobs that I've applied to had actual people send the rejection emails. They weren't always automated. If they were automated, I obviously wouldn't bother.

Expand Or the person who was supposed to do so quit/got fired. When I was first with MW, they had me chasing ghost payroll and doing commissions. They laid me off before my 90 days were in, but hired me back for a different position around 2.5 months later. I ran into someone from the Dept I trained in a couple weeks later & they told me nobody did the commissions for those 3 months. A lot of people were po'd.
Seight Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I feel like the not having been contacted for a year would have been an implied rejection. 1
