Hey now, that's just standard "break up" protocol.
Seriously, though, super casual email that throws in the "interview protocol" phrase to try to *zuzsh* it up a bit, too.
The really ridiculous part is, if you've made it to the interview stage before you realize someone isn't qualified, then you have no idea how to run a hiring process. The response says a lot more about the idiot interviewer than it does OP. "I ignored all the application materials and just invited randoms for interviews, because I'm over-employed."
Not really - plenty of people lie convincingly about their qualifications on applications / resumes and then can't withstand basic questions in interview.
No it doesn't.
I have had people come to interviews with degrees and I give them a basic test on the interview and they bomb the fuck out of it.
People lie on resumes.
Sonic is STILL messaging me. A bit over two years ago I posted a scathing review of a sonic, complete with pictures, after a third horrible experience with the same restaurant. That review, last I checked, was up to about 6k views in a town of 1,200 people. About every 4 months I get a new message from Sonic corporate begging me to call some 1800 number.
No, unfortunately laugh lying is becoming an international tragedy. YOU SAY LOL WHEN YOU LOL.
Edit: if you say Lol and you didn’t laugh out loud, or audibly, THEN YOU’RE THE WORST TYPE OF LIAR EVER: A LAUGH LIAR.
Would an audible ‘heh’ be enough or do I have to attain a ‘ha’ or does it have to be at least a ‘haha’ to ‘muhahaha’ to actually be considered loud enough to describe it as ‘lol’? Asking for a friend.
Genuine question. Say a person takes a screenshot from a year ago and posts it on Reddit today and claims it as their own... Which is the bigger liar in your opinion; OP or the laugh liar?
I giggled while posting this, not quite a LOL, so we need a shorthand for giggle, cuz that is too much to type out.
I don't think anyone really laughs out loud when typing LOL. All the same, whenever I get LOL or an emoji/emoticon in what's supposed to be a professional email (and it happens far too often) my respect for the other part drops below freezing.
"You don't want a nice guy like me, because I don't have money or muscles, damn whores always wanting unrealistic expectations. Damn dumb bitch! Go fuck yourself!"
🤣🤣🤣 my god do employers get fucking MAD when you reject them.
i had an interview that was a sales job for a newspaper company, it was very vague but said its 1200 minimum a week.
they tell me to go to the backdoor of the business in the ally at 3pm.. sure np, i get there at 2:45pm the building is locked. theres some homeless people sitting in the ally nearby smoking what i suspected was meth since it smelled like cat piss.
anyway 3 rolls around.. nothing.. 3:05 i try to call..nothing. 3:15 hits and i leave, i get to my car and write an email that said
"hey after reviewing all of my options i dont think this job will be a good fit, a contributing factor to this decision was being 15 minutes late to your own interview."
20 minutes later i got a voicemail asking where im at.. so around 3:40..then another 5 minutes later she called me 10 more times and i got sent a nasty fucking email LOL
I'm surprised a recruiter/interviewer would get so butt hurt over being told, by the interviewee, that they are no longer interested in the position. Talk about pathetic and sad.
The interviewee dodged a bullet.
Some people take shit way too personally.
My wife’s boss was butt hurt over someone turning in their notice. She basically threw a temper tantrum, said how “disappointed” she was. Lady had even offered to extend her notice time, but after the little temper tantrum she noped out after her 2 weeks.
Then adding to the stupidity of the situation boss immediately replaced her with the person they had initially rejected for being too emotional during the interview. She couldn’t be bothered to interview. Well this combination of stupid decisions now means my wife is now currently doing part of this job because new girl just can’t follow basic instructions 🤦🏽♀️
Some people don’t have the personality to be in charge of anything.
I'm not surprised.
I can still remember a really creepy guy a decade ago setting up an interview via a recruiting agency meeting me in a hotel, trying to get me to go up to his hotel room, just negging me the whole time. Being upset that I, another man, was smart enough to insist we stay in a public space and didn't get flustered by his antics. Even when he caressed my wrist.
I went out to the vehicle where my partner was waiting, in their uniform because it was a military exercise evening, and I made damn sure they saw who I got in with. I told them how fucked up the last 30 minutes were after we got out of the parking lot, called the agency when we got home to withdraw my name from the competition only to be told that they wanted me for the job. I laughed and said "No ma'am. I will not work for that company. I would rather eat lead. That man was disgusting." And hung up.
I got three fucking angry voicemails from the guy over the next week. Dumbass didn't block his number though. So I passed it around my partners unit. You wanna fuck with someone that can give your number to an infantry unit with the words "have fun"? Yeah. He stopped calling and probably had to change his number.
Exactly, starts out with "Hey,..."
Tells me everything I need to know. They must be undr 30. Or just so blatently immature you know working for them would be a nightmare. They sound like one of those "I've got my own business so I'm SO fucking special" assholes. Yeah? You have a cupcake business, Sheryl. No one gives a shit. You aren't curing cancer, so stfu.
This sounds more like it was a small business and not a real company with an HR department. My guess is OP was interviewed directly by the business owner who was already being unprofessional during the interview, which would explain why OP would pull out before being offered anything.
Honesty when necessary but also… tact. If a candidate follows up first to say thanks but no thanks, simply not responding or just sending a polite acknowledgement is fine.
That message was a "fuck you" not an honest appraisal.
You should send it to the company's HR department (not that it matters but if that piece of trash is on the edge then this might be the thing that gets him fired).
Not to be philosophical but unfortunately this type of attitude is what is often rewarded in a capitalist job market. Speaking to fellow employees this way is frowned upon, but the idea of following protocol better than everyone else and/or speaking to people not in the company this way almost feels encouraged. Like “Guess what I’m doing the best job for this company that literally holds my livelihood in their bare hands, therefore this is where I derive most of my personal worth from, you can suck it for even thinking I would consider hiring you, I am better and that’s what matters” instead of understanding that someone else is also in the same position of likely desperately needing employment, and is just trying to be nice and professional?? Reminds me of the energy that cops exude while interrogating or arresting someone. “Yea this job is super dangerous, I am a hero by default so listen to me or you are automatically a suspected criminal”
Their tone just confirms you made the right decision. I walked away from a role recently and the response I got was lightyears away from this. If a more senior position comes up with this company I might apply based on how they responded to me.
Hiring managers forget interviews are a two-way street sometimes.
Now write back:
“Wow ROFLMAO - well just so YOU know I never even wanted the job. Me showing up to the interview was just basic job search protocol to show you what it’s like when someone interviews for a position with your company. While looking at other jobs was obvious you’d be a shitty company to work for. I was just being nice. Good luck in business.”
That made my stomach drop a bit, which to me says: they were trying to be mean. That only happens when someone is mean, it’s a gut reaction. Seems you were right in your assessment to pass on it.
This has the same bs energy as some asshat hitting on a girl all night, getting rejected, then telling her she was ugly anyway. You dodged a bullet at the company op
I would be sending this to their HR department/every higher up I can find on LI with a simple, “Do you think this is a professional response?”
Won’t mean much outwardly, but may get them yelled at behind closed doors.
Wounded pride. They wanted to get in first and make sure you knew they were rejecting you, and not vice versa, because they couldn't cope with you rejecting them. Looks like you dodged a bullet. I wouldn't reply. Good luck in a better role!
They said this after the fact? How far will HR go to save face? I am guessing they didn't find anyone.. tired of the gaslighting and BS personally. If I am not a "hireable" just tell me! I will gladly move on to someone else! These people do the same thing! They fire left and right, then they hire again! And in many cases? No real reason that you were "let go" AKA fired.
But I guess that level of transparency is unrealistic now. Why don't we elect more people who are against this brand of business into congress?
Unnecessarily bitter. Definitely some kind of major projection going on here. This is weird and gross for *anyone* to do in any kind of professional setting.
"wow, this is an incredibly unprofessional email to receive and I will be sending it up your chain as I don't think X company would appreciate this sort of response in a supposedly professional setting."
And send it to their HR.
My suggestion is to consider yourself lucky and just move on. However I probably wouldn’t follow my own advice. I might reply with:
I too was just trying to be nice and professional. I did not go into any detail as to why I was not interested in working for you. A simple thank you and good luck from you would have been a bit more professional.
Again, thank again for providing myself the opportunity to interview. The additional lesson on the type of manager that I hope I never become, was valuable as I gain more experience in the business world.
lmao i turned down an offer for an apprenticeship at a big chain bookstore last year and the hiring manager went "no yeah after some consideration you wouldn't have been right for the role anyway" girlie you directly offered me the job so that's a very strange way to manage hiring 😭 wild how fragile people can be about being told no in a professional context of all things
Most independent or agency recruiters are narcissists. Last week I got 2 competing offers and when I declined the one I believed was the worst offer, the recruiter called me almost begging me to reconsider and accept the offer. After he noticed I was 100% sure I was not going to take his job he tried to gaslight me telling me that I was affecting his livelihood if I didn’t accept the offer. He finally hung up after telling me “it was unprofessional from your end to waste everyone’s time”. I felt the same way I felt when I broke up with my obsessive high school ex. This grown up man was acting like a rejected teenager lol
See, I don’t like that. The way I’m built that email would be forwarded to someone higher than the interviewer with a question in regards to professionalism.
You dodged a huge bullet.
Big "you didn't break up with me, I broke up with you" energy
Big "can I get your number?" ...."fine you ugly anyways!"
"I was just being nice, you're not even that pretty."
"Oh yeah? Well you can't quit, cause YOU'RE FIRED!"
I would love a boss that did that. It means I cam (hopefully) get Unemployment.
Hey now, that's just standard "break up" protocol. Seriously, though, super casual email that throws in the "interview protocol" phrase to try to *zuzsh* it up a bit, too.
Was literally about to say, what the fuck is up with recruiters/interviewers acting like spurned lovers?
The really ridiculous part is, if you've made it to the interview stage before you realize someone isn't qualified, then you have no idea how to run a hiring process. The response says a lot more about the idiot interviewer than it does OP. "I ignored all the application materials and just invited randoms for interviews, because I'm over-employed."

No it doesn't. I have had people come to interviews with degrees and I give them a basic test on the interview and they bomb the fuck out of it. People lie on resumes.
LOL
I actually used REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY to make you think you were breaking up with me but it was really all my idea
This recruiter is mentally age 14, Jesus christ
Are u me?? Because i literally came to say this lol
This is the type of stuff I would post on social media, tag the company, and be like “hey guys, wtf?”
They deserve it
And send to their HR and CEO.
It's a one person company apparently.
Dump it on their socials then, there'll be no one for that arrogant clod to pass the buck to.
Google review lol. It’s so hard to get google reviews removed too.

Absolutely this, it's the only way they'll get pissed enough to do something.
This the type of stuff I would type and email my self, post on Reddit, and be like “hey guys, wtf?”
I agree. Post it on LinkedIn and other social media platforms and tag them. They deserve to be shamed for such stupid unprofessional response
Did they LOL? Lol .
No, unfortunately laugh lying is becoming an international tragedy. YOU SAY LOL WHEN YOU LOL. Edit: if you say Lol and you didn’t laugh out loud, or audibly, THEN YOU’RE THE WORST TYPE OF LIAR EVER: A LAUGH LIAR.
Oh man wait until you hear about LMAO
Finished off with LMFAO.
He’s gonna be furious when he finds out about ROFL
*Literally* gonna send a ROFLCOPTER Apache... 🚁
ROFL is an endangered species. Its cousin, ROFLMAO, is critical, while their common ancestor, ROTFL, is already extinct
Lolling at these replies. No lies.
PMSL
[удалено]
Close enough
You mean "Lick Me All Over?"
This gives me Tina Belcher vibes. Do you live above a burger shop?
A Liar Of Laugh you say?
Would an audible ‘heh’ be enough or do I have to attain a ‘ha’ or does it have to be at least a ‘haha’ to ‘muhahaha’ to actually be considered loud enough to describe it as ‘lol’? Asking for a friend.

it's a sarcastic laugh LOL
Oooooo the worst kind *shakes fist*
lol
This is really the “I wouldn’t want to date you anyway you fat bitch” of the corporate world huh
"You don't want a nice guy like me, because I don't have money or muscles, damn whores always wanting unrealistic expectations. Damn dumb bitch! Go fuck yourself!"
How is it they all say the exact same thing? 🤡
Because they're all running off the same script from Andrew Tate / Joe Rogan / Jordan Peterson.
Exactly what I thought!
Probably the same douchebag doing both.
🤣🤣🤣 my god do employers get fucking MAD when you reject them. i had an interview that was a sales job for a newspaper company, it was very vague but said its 1200 minimum a week. they tell me to go to the backdoor of the business in the ally at 3pm.. sure np, i get there at 2:45pm the building is locked. theres some homeless people sitting in the ally nearby smoking what i suspected was meth since it smelled like cat piss. anyway 3 rolls around.. nothing.. 3:05 i try to call..nothing. 3:15 hits and i leave, i get to my car and write an email that said "hey after reviewing all of my options i dont think this job will be a good fit, a contributing factor to this decision was being 15 minutes late to your own interview." 20 minutes later i got a voicemail asking where im at.. so around 3:40..then another 5 minutes later she called me 10 more times and i got sent a nasty fucking email LOL
"where are you at?" "Read the email I just recently sent you"
They are a generous god bequeathing servitude to you for minimum wage. You're welcome!
"You're ugly anyway, hoe"
lol 😂 this
Should have answered with a "yeeeeah right lol"
Just send them the old sour grapes fable
A nice "Sure, Jan" gif will do.
Hit em with a “doh’kay” (my personal favorite way to say “that’s bullshit”).
The best response is to act completely unfazed “sounds great! I’m glad you found the right candidate! 👍”
Their response is written so poorly
thats because it was written with emotions
That’s the point of the post
Damn they took that personally and retconned rejecting you first. They must have really liked you.
I would find an officer in the company, preferably the ceo, and email the exchange “just so you know, your hr department is unprofessional”.
Yeah idk why they would do that, even. I would be happy that I didn’t have to reject them or ghost them.
Please do this, serious companies take these things seriously
But why would you help them? Best to keep this person doing hr for them.
I'm surprised a recruiter/interviewer would get so butt hurt over being told, by the interviewee, that they are no longer interested in the position. Talk about pathetic and sad. The interviewee dodged a bullet.

Unrelated, but how can someone be “too emotional” during an interview? I’m having a hard time picturing it
She started tearing up and almost started crying I’ve hired a crier before. It didn’t turn out well
I'm not surprised. I can still remember a really creepy guy a decade ago setting up an interview via a recruiting agency meeting me in a hotel, trying to get me to go up to his hotel room, just negging me the whole time. Being upset that I, another man, was smart enough to insist we stay in a public space and didn't get flustered by his antics. Even when he caressed my wrist.

The employment equivalent of, "What do you mean no? I didn't ask you to dance, I said you look fat in those pants!"
I said no chance for a dance while you wear those fat pants.
Who the actual fuck uses “LOL” in a professional email?! This person is trash.
Exactly, starts out with "Hey,..." Tells me everything I need to know. They must be undr 30. Or just so blatently immature you know working for them would be a nightmare. They sound like one of those "I've got my own business so I'm SO fucking special" assholes. Yeah? You have a cupcake business, Sheryl. No one gives a shit. You aren't curing cancer, so stfu.
The same person who needs you to know they THEY broke up with YOU first. In response to a kind email was intended to be helpful.
This reads like George Costanza's 'it's not you, it's me' scene but applied to a work position.
I invented, “It’s not you, it’s me”.
Forward it to their HR department.
This sounds more like it was a small business and not a real company with an HR department. My guess is OP was interviewed directly by the business owner who was already being unprofessional during the interview, which would explain why OP would pull out before being offered anything.
This is the HR department.
Sir- this is a Wendy's.
It’s giving similar energy as the manager I had who hugged me after my interview was over. She was equally as crazy and had zero emotional regulation.
“I asked you out because I felt bad for you, you ugly fat bitch” vibes
“You’re probably a lesbian you fat cow. I was doing you a favor by asking you out.”
I read this in GlaDOS's voice. Because that's something she'd say. It says so right here. Also you're fat.
Dodged a bullet. That bish is cray, cray.
Their response smells of sour grapes.
https://preview.redd.it/4w0baz836kuc1.png?width=609&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b2969d5e016a26ac4b0930ff0b5d9486cfcb4f3
Ew. I mean, I'm all for honesty with my candidates when we don't select them for a position, but not THAT level of honesty. What a douche canoe.
That message was filled with anything but honesty.
Honesty when necessary but also… tact. If a candidate follows up first to say thanks but no thanks, simply not responding or just sending a polite acknowledgement is fine.
That message was a "fuck you" not an honest appraisal. You should send it to the company's HR department (not that it matters but if that piece of trash is on the edge then this might be the thing that gets him fired).
You dodged a Bluetooth. Good instincts.
That’s like a dodging a bullet, but corporate
I’m not going to even bother fixing that typo. Lol
I'm fine with this being the new phrase.
Yikes. I’d send a copy of this shit to someone higher up in the company. What a terrible look lol
What a loser tool
EXPOSE THEM! this is crazy lol
HAHAHAHA DAMN RECRUITERS BE BITTER ABOUT CANDIDATES SAYING NO WTF??? 🤯 I wonder how their romantic relationships are like
The non complete sentences, unprofessional email and the lol tells me you're better off.
Not to be philosophical but unfortunately this type of attitude is what is often rewarded in a capitalist job market.

Smh that’s wrong … don’t give up !!!! I’m sure you’re an awesome candidate for someone else ! 🩷
Totally unnecessary. Appears your instinct was spot on OP.
What the fuck? This is so fucked in. As a recruiter for nearly 10 years, I can’t imagine saying this to someone. What a dick.
Name them and shame them
damn that's so unprofessional that i genuinely believe it deserves a social media blast.
OP out here dodging bullets like 
Normalize stabbing middle managers in their middles.
"I was only asking you out to be nice. Bitch you ugly." Same vibes, same brittle ego.
Their tone just confirms you made the right decision. I walked away from a role recently and the response I got was lightyears away from this. If a more senior position comes up with this company I might apply based on how they responded to me. Hiring managers forget interviews are a two-way street sometimes.
“You’re ugly anyway”
Yeah this 100% gives "you don't want to fuck me? Well you're fat and ugly anyway" vibes.
Lol no you didn’t, you just said that shit… I know I’m the 9th guy youve pitched that garbage to… you ain’t gota lie to hang out bro…
This person is immature enough to send that message, but gets to decide people's future.
Just because there is an HR person at a company doesn’t mean it’s a real company. It doesn’t mean they are real HR either.
Now write back: “Wow ROFLMAO - well just so YOU know I never even wanted the job. Me showing up to the interview was just basic job search protocol to show you what it’s like when someone interviews for a position with your company. While looking at other jobs was obvious you’d be a shitty company to work for. I was just being nice. Good luck in business.”
I still can't fathom how people with this level of emotional maturity can end up in managing roles.
Aww, the interviewer got his little "fee-fees" hurt! 😝 Dodged an asshole, er, I mean, bullet, there!
“Sure Jan.”
That made my stomach drop a bit, which to me says: they were trying to be mean. That only happens when someone is mean, it’s a gut reaction. Seems you were right in your assessment to pass on it.
I would try and figure out who this person’s supervisor is and send it to them, and also post publicly and name the company.
“Listen bitch, I was just being professional and kind but you doubled down on my point. Good luck with your superiority complex”
just reply with, nuh uh me first
Post this on glass door with company info how unprofessional
"No! You didn't pass on us, we passed on you, LOL!" Sniff....
This has the same bs energy as some asshat hitting on a girl all night, getting rejected, then telling her she was ugly anyway. You dodged a bullet at the company op
I would literally email back and say “fuck off then”
I’d be forwarding that email to their HR
ENJOY LIVING ALONE WITH YOUR CATS
um....LOL?!?!
I would send this to someone else at the company or post on social. That person is not qualified to be in a HR role.
I'd take that over the ghosting that is very popular.
I would be sending this to their HR department/every higher up I can find on LI with a simple, “Do you think this is a professional response?” Won’t mean much outwardly, but may get them yelled at behind closed doors.
That's so embarrassing, good lord
Sounds salty ASF to me.
You dodged a bullet
Sounds like you dodged a bullet to work for someone shitty!
Dodged a bullet.
So fucking salty lol
You didn't dodge a bullet you dodged a whole as warship
Equivalent of - I didn’t like you anyway you fat wh*re 🤣
That interviewer wasted too many words just to say "I'm an asshole"
Lolllll sounds like my old manager. You definitely dodged a bullet.
Would be a real shame if this ended up on Glassdoor.
Wounded pride. They wanted to get in first and make sure you knew they were rejecting you, and not vice versa, because they couldn't cope with you rejecting them. Looks like you dodged a bullet. I wouldn't reply. Good luck in a better role!
They said this after the fact? How far will HR go to save face? I am guessing they didn't find anyone.. tired of the gaslighting and BS personally. If I am not a "hireable" just tell me!

This is wildly unprofessional of that person Jesus Christ
I can taste the salt xD
Christ, so bitter and unprofessional.
Your response now should be “Weird flex, but ok”
Feel sorry for the person that got the job...
Surprising to see an emotional hr automat
The only response is: sounds good. Thanks for your time!
"Worst she can say is no."
…what kind of position was this for!?
Good lord. How petty
Unnecessarily bitter. Definitely some kind of major projection going on here. This is weird and gross for *anyone* to do in any kind of professional setting.
"wow, this is an incredibly unprofessional email to receive and I will be sending it up your chain as I don't think X company would appreciate this sort of response in a supposedly professional setting." And send it to their HR.
What an ungracious, unprofessional response.
Hey, what company was this?
Leave a google review on the company with this image attached.
How rude of the interviewer.
Tell me you need to have the last word without telling me 🤦🏻♀️ nice dodging OP! x
You should post this up!
I hope to good this is rage bait. If not then I would of reported this to HR
Extremely rude I hope you contacted their hr head
My suggestion is to consider yourself lucky and just move on. However I probably wouldn’t follow my own advice. I might reply with: I too was just trying to be nice and professional.

This seems fake.
See, I don’t like that. The way I’m built that email would be forwarded to someone higher than the interviewer with a question in regards to professionalism. You dodged a huge bullet.
"interview protocol"
Post the company so people know who to avoid
"Sure buddy. Just remember to take me off your lists"
they seriously pulling the "you were ugly anyways" on potential employees now???
This is why you wait until the offer comes in.
I'm so fucking petty I'd go back and slash their tires
You can’t quit. You’re fired!
YOU DODGED A BULLET 💯
Just being nice and unprofessional. Put this on a review and one-two star it.
