    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.

    If that’s real and in the US that’s age discrimination and you can sue, and easily win, even if they say it’s not your age, but the date of your birthday it still would fall under discrimination based on age.

        I honestly can’t tell if you’re serious or not.

        edit: I’m not from the US and this seems like a very silly legislation. Unless I’m getting whoooshed.

          It’s silly but it addresses a real problem. You don’t see job ads stating no women, Blacks, Mexicans, people with disabilities, etc. (This was very much a thing in the not too distant past, just look at job ads in the USA from the 60s)

          Age was added later because employers prefer hiring younger people as they can often pay them significantly less and get more work out of them because of their inexperience.

          There are examples of employers firing all of their older workers to save money (though many of these companies turned out as terrible for the long term health of the company).

          Older people tend to vote more and the state doesn’t want to pay unemployment to people so hence the law was amended.

          This is just another example of age and deviousness triumphing over youth and enthusiasm.

    That’s the great thing about AI, it’s like a human! Humans don’t need to work anymore because our computers speak like us now! It’s only ever really a problem if someone reads what AI wrote.

    But if you don’t read it, wow, just look at the spacing, the typography, the paragraphs! the tokens words!

    If you’re in the US and can afford it, Talk to a lawyer.

    This is blatant discrimination of a immutable attribute which is a Civil Rights violation.

    This is written evidence to that fact.

      This is why I assume this must be fake. Because even a trainee HR employee would look at that email, and not send it out.

        Assuming they’re checking the emails at all.

        Remember when that guy decided to read a book while his Tesla was doing basic lane following, and merged into a semi? I 'member.

    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

    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.

      1. Of course everything is censored, there is no reason to share personal info like that.

      2. 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?

      3. Current fears are justified.

      4. 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.

      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?

      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.

    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?

        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.
