I feel like people block out names way to often now. I they felt comfortable enough to send this email, I’m sure they’d feel comfortable with it being shared with others, right?
For one, they might have had some NDA as part of the interview process.
But even if not, they can bring a civil case even on dubious grounds, and the defendant still has to suffer having to defend themselves and go to court.
If they do sue, it isn’t like the company has huge consequences to be scared of, and even successfully defending yourself won’t feel like a “victory” compared to never having attracted the company’s attention in the first place.
What I don’t get is why people blur out personal information on public posts. You’re not doing anything I can find the original post by just googling the entire sentence. All you’re doing is making discovery harder.
Another thing that needs to be legally mandated. Not only should it be mandated to discuss pay, responsibilities, culture, etc. during the interview process, it needs to be mandated that you receive a fully human written rejection letter explaining in specific detail why they did not select you.
If the USA is remade, I think that all jobs should go through a state and federally controlled job board. The government’s job should be to ensure the things you outlined, and other stuff to help employees be safeguarded from corporate abuse.
Yep. I am 100% in favor of a federal and state coordinated job placement service. Corporations have demonstrated that they are incapable of properly hiring people.
This sounds great in theory, but I can assure you it will just result in either boilerplate or ai generated explanations. The work of putting that together is just going to get thrust on already overworked people who are dragged into panel interviews so managers don’t have to deal with it.
That’s why you mandate that it not be boilerplate and AI—but you’re right that it could get tricky. As another person said, ultimately we need a federal and state jobs program.
I hate that OP blacked out the company. Name and shame these fucks.

Well they should be, but they could get litigious if they get bad exposure.
Litigious how? It’s not libel, slander, or defamation since it actually happened.
Reality is irrelevant in a court of law.
The law isn’t though.
In order to break a law you must actually have broken the law.
Right or not, if you just threaten your opponent with enough juridical costs, they’ll most of the time give up.

It’d just discourage companies from sending rejection letters or giving reasons.
Better to flame the situation than the company in this case.
Ah yes the: “Accountability is bad because then those held accountable will try and hide their actions” argument.
It’s not an ideal position to hold as it’s one that’s subservient to abuse and malicious intent
For future reference, they can just omit the middle paragraph because nobody cares about the opinion of a company that isn’t hiring them.
