'Hilarious rejection': Man gets rejected via email during interview

On Reddit, a man shares his amusing yet unfortunate rejection story. During a Zoom interview in which all hiring members were sitting, the man received an email informing him that he had been rejected for the role while he was still discussing the position with the heads.

He shared on Reddit, “ It was the second of three interviews. The first had been half an hour, and the third was only going to be 15 minutes with the CTO.”

The session was going great, and as the supervisors were discussing the role, they even confirmed that they would join for the third interview with this man. "Let's get it scheduled before we forget, " the higher-ups told the man, according to NDTV.

While he was all prepared for the finale of his session he was astonished by the rejection email of that company.

"A rejection email. The 'dear John' kind we've all gotten used to. It's from them," he said.

The user further stated that when the chief asked for his availability for the third interview he smilingly told the panel “works great for me, but I'm not sure it's going to work for the rest of the hiring team. Someone just rejected me sight unseen."

His confrontation created chaos amongst the panel, and the higher-ups started panicking not knowing what to say to the man. So they hastily excused the man and told him to wait for another email kicking him out of the zoom call.

This incident received over 3000 up-votes and became very popular. As a result, several other users told the man that he wasn't alone by sharing similar experiences of rejection in the comment sections.
