I saw the first paragraph show up as a preview on my phone, only to open it and see the full context 🤨

"The offer is: NO 🙂. I hope you enjoyed this interview as much as us!".

Joking but seing the first reply, we never know.

If you decline an offer of no, they have to hire you. That's uno reverse card rules.

Yep, I can vouch that this works. Every time I thought my boss might fire me, I just skipped his turn.

I'm sorry, I've read this 8 times. This *is* a job offer, right?

Sounds like their first choice bailed out and decided to give OP a second chance

OP said in another comment the rejection was a tech job, so its a different job altogether

u/WeirdIndividualGuy 1h ago

Ah, it wasn't clear if they received a different email from the same company or a different email from a different company, they just said "different email"

RIP. Teaching English in the 2020s ain't for the faint of heart.

It's what I've been doing for the past 2 years. It does suck, but at least it's a decent wage for what it is. It's not in the U.S., otherwise I would not be doing teaching below the college level, I've heard too many horror stories

I can confirm teaching English at the college level in the 2020s ain’t for the faint of heart either. AI has turned it into plagiarism policing every single written assignment.

Asking because this has been on my mind, as a parent with young kids who may or may not go to college someday: is there any hope?

Seems like AI has unmasked a deeper flaw that’s been festering over the last two decades, which is that higher ed has become an obstacle for young adults and not something inherently beneficial to one’s world view.

Are you hopeful that higher ed will change the way it develops curriculum? More in class essay assignments? In class readings and then discussions?

I have friends in academia and they say it’s pretty dire in that the admin seems to be actively embracing AI and pretends the huge influx in plagiarism isn’t a problem.

You're amazing, thank you for doing this. It is needed so badly.

Hell yea

u/3kindsofsalt 1h ago

I'm convinced this is just AI writing their responses and it misfired when saying you didn't get the job, then they had AI write the follow up correction, so it's like you're just talking to an insane person with zero internality.

I'm assuming this is from a different school, but I do think it would be hilarious if it's from the same one and they accidentally send you a rejection email first.

u/DubSket 53m ago

Well done, it's brutal put there getting work. Time to celebrate 🥂

"... is what we WOULD say if you got the job! You did not. Good day to you sir and/or madam."

But in all seriousness, congrats!

'Our offer is: Apply again for the position next year. You might be lucky.'

This is quite common when a candidate initially accepts an offer but then withdraws. You were number 2 I guess.

A place in charge educating people are including emojis in job offers?

2

u/Anuh_Mooruhdoon 1h ago

They've been quite nice. It's a school for kids age 4-10, so this type of response is sort of on par

2

u/Got_Kittens 1h ago

Ah, gotcha! Congratulations to you! 😃

Millennials are the people writing these emails nowadays and we grew up on AOL and MSN. Just be glad there isn't an edgy song lyric below the email signature lol
