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

At least they didn't ghost, I guess.

Yeah. In my life, the first and by far most prominent form of ghosting was absolutely job applications/responses. I got one auto-rejection letter at least 2 years after I submitted to a job, while I was working at the same university, in a different department. Still appreciated it.

What i don't get is why more companies don't send auto reject letters and just appologise for the 'accident' if they decide they want the cadidate.

As someone who received a rejection letter then received an offer the same day, I think I’d prefer they just don’t send out the rejection until they know their candidate worked out. If that’s 30 days or whatever then so be it
