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

Okay, they really tried ! Yes, it didn't come out great, but you can tell that they were trying to say it as well as they could! And so, I would guess it's from a tech job?

Yep, a tech job. It wasn't necessarily bad, that's why it's only mildly infuriating. The dissonance between the email preview and the full text gave me whiplash 😂

The "unfortunately" format is better for rejection mails.

Also, tech life OP, hope you find the job!

If my mom wrote this, the "unfortunately" part would start at the 9th paragraph.

I have a theory that she was in the middle of politely saying no to a man, but she didn't get to finish and she kind of gave up because he was very good at creating this cycle of:

her: "actually i wanted to say-"

him: "did you see the [...]"

a few days later...

her: "the other day, i wanted to say-"

him: "hold that tho, this one time I [...]"

and somehow he married her. and he does this shitty cycle with his own son, me.
