I’d feel more considered if I’d gotten no email at all
Some think this isn’t an LLM (I still disagree), but either way I find the message to be incredibly patronizing. My effort doesn’t feel acknowledged when their not putting any effort into rejecting me.



I hate that companies have to be above and beyond on rejection if they do them.
Like i’m glad they give them but, how hard is a:
Subject: Application/Interview Rejected
body:
Dear name,
We regret to inform you that we have decided not to continue with your application/interview process due to X,
We appreciate your interest in this company,
HR Name
With X being the reason.
There’s no profit in it, is my cynical answer that I wouldn’t be surprised to find is actually true.
No profit, and in my time on this earth it’s also very true that most people have next to non-existent interpersonal skills. They have no idea how to treat a stranger like real person.
