What always ticks me off beyond reason in mails like these is the “we genuinely appreciate your time and effort in…”
Fuck. You. With. An. Umbrella.
You don’t appreciate shit, you’re full of shit, yet you’re too shit to even just say what you really want to say: fuck you, we don’t give a damn. Because being actually honest might also be bad and cost money.
Companies like there are the worse and should all burn in hell
Thank you for the opportunity!
I appreciate the time and effort it took to reply
I’d rather get a rejection email than eternally wondering why an AI filtered me out
It’s not the email that bugs me, it’s the fake politeness and language like “but we care! We really do!”
Glad that won’t happen to me. I was born on January 6th.
Now I’m imagining someone legitimately putting their Jan6 involvement on a resume.
Window Structural Integrity Tester (Jan 6th, 2021): Responsibilities included - unconventional team-building activities, conditioning, navigating unfamiliar territory, and breaking down barriers.
Nah, it’d probably be more like:
Security Field Tester (Jan 6, 2021): Part of a group that organized a large-scale “peaceful march” in order to thoroughly check security protocols for the Capitol building. Duties included attempts at theft to see if we’d be stopped, testing window durability by attempting to break them, engaging physically with security staff in riot gear to test security training, and shouting terroristic threats in order to see how secure government protocols were in the event of a riot at a governmental building.
That is probably a slam dunk (minor) discrimination lawsuit. Your circumstances of birth, including the date, are not something you can be judged for.
Follow up with your ID or Birth certificate and ask “Excuse me?”
Not true in the US. They could ban anyone born in the entire month of April, or anyone who “looks like a pot smoker” if they wanted to.
Applicants, employees and former employees are ONLY protected from employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, age (40 or older), disability and genetic information (including family medical history).
I wonder if an argument could be made that birthdate is a component of your genetic information including family medical history? It is also potentially age discrimination?
Technically this is discrimination based on age.
They were born 4/20/(year). You could make an argument they are discriminating all people exactly (X) years, 4 months, and 2 days old.
Yeah we typically thing age discrimination is saying we only hire people between 20-40y/o but it would also cover it if you said “I won’t hire someone 21 years old only” and still applies to banning someone 21.5 years old. And 21 years and 6 months and 27 days old.
Same applies if I ban anyone with an age divisible by 3. It’s a group of people, but if their age has anything to do with why you aren’t hiring them then I’d say this applies.
Age discrimination only applies if you’re above 40.
Are you being sarcastic? Or does being rejected for a job for being ‘too young’ fall under a different discrimination law?
(Genuine question, i have no idea)
Nobody said that they are from the US.
At the moment you have 69 upvotes, so I can’t, in good conscience, upvote you. But you’re right.
cringe
I’m so sorry that you expected better on a repost about the number 420. 🙄
it’s not a 420 joke you dunce
Do you actually think that the user who posted this applied for this job?
The same user who reposts all the content on lemmy, bless his heart.
This is a joke someone posted elsewhere that has been reposted here.
lemmy winks are so much more rude than reddit posters and twice as gullible.
Funny joke number amirite
almost as funny as that other number…
80085?
Come on dude this is a family website.
It wouldn’t get anywhere in the US. Age is the closest protected class, but only applies to over 40 in the US. Discrimination based on month and day of birth isn’t actually illegal.
I honestly think there’s a gray area here and it’s worth talking to a lawyer if anything. There are certainly some protections for peoples under 40. Being denied a promotion because you’re “too young” is certainly a protection. The catch is you have to prove it.
This case is easy to prove though if there are any laws over this.
Edit: but now that I think about it, this is only really a protection if you’re already hired at the place. If you just slam the door on people before they can get in, discrimination seems to be legal.
What about star sign? That’s got to be illegal, and it’s p close to this
They listed the protected classes. Which one is astrology?
Yeah yeah not protected, but same could be said for requiring blond hair or blue eyes. Still discrimination
I am not a lawyer
They did specifically list genetics
How is that different from any other accident of birth that can’t be changed? People really do discriminate based on when you were born:
Not hard to extrapolate a case from this. Imagine a landlord refusing to rent because you’re a “scorpio” or an employer turning you down because they’re looking for a “dog” person.
“Nobody was born on 4/20 except Hitler. We do not wish to hire Hitler at this time.”
at this time
This can’t be real. There are so many red flags this is fake. 1) Everything is censored. 2) GIS (Google image search) lookup only shows reddit and linkedin. The linkedin post is just as vague “learned a colleague received this!” 3) It’s too good to be true. it plays on current fears. 4) It’s just so dumb.
-
Of course everything is censored, there is no reason to share personal info like that.
-
I don’t know what Geographical Information Systems have to do with this post, are you referring to a reverse image search like google or tineye or something? What were you expecting to find? The original email with all of the aforementioned personal info? Are you surprised content could be posted to Reddit before anywhere else?
-
Current fears are justified.
-
Poe’s Law tells me not to assume anything is satirical because there will always be people that stupid or greedy.
And yeah, it could be fake, 100%, but your arguments were really dumb.
GIS might be Google Image Search in this case, though I haven’t seen it abbreviated like that before.
-
1 is in no way a red flag, don’t put other’s personally identifying information on the Internet.
I fucking hate people like you.
“Everything on Reddit/Lemmy is fake and gay. Here’s my evidence.”
All evidence easily has an explanation, most of it laughably so.
What do idiots who claim everything is fake get out of it? To troll the OP? Or do you just want to spread your misery?
They should not censor the company name.
But then you might realize it’s fake.
What do you mean ‘Company Business Incorporated Pty Ltd.’ Isn’t a legitimate employer?
Honestly, they might even consider it fortunate that the company showed them it’s cards now and not when they’re their actual employer. Dodged a bullet.
The company is cards?
Correct. You don’t want to work for cards. The corporate structure is too flimsy. /s
Under GDPR you have a right for your application to be reviewed by a human rather than an automated rejection. Is there something like that in the country maybe?
That is not what GDPR is about.
You could’ve done a simple search, or even write your comment in a way where you don’t state it as a fact but instead you’re now blatantly wrong.
This is most likely fake.
If this was automated, a company automating rejection emails would never write the reason for rejection. It would be a vague excuse like “not a good fit for the role”.
If this was not automated, then no recruiter would be this stupid.
Or the LLM is just that incompetent lol
