Job interviews almost always suck, especially when the company has no respect for the applicants' time. Twitter user @mcarlovincent recently posted a screenshot of a rejection email allegedly sent by a potential employer, and the scenario hit a nerve for a lot of people. Although some pointed out that the email itself might be fake, the scenario was plausible enough to strike a chord with anyone who's ever experienced a grueling interview process. 'I mean, this is probably very fake,' one person said, 'but considering the bullshit employers are on nowadays...might as well be real.' Others took the opportunity to vent about their own worst interview experiences. Keep scrolling to see some highlights from the painfully relatable thread.

    Font - mel_fluff @mel_fluff ... Who the fuck applies for a job for any reason other then for money? I mean it's the literal reason why people even work jobs in the first place.

    Font - Vu Le (with one E) @NonprofitAF ... "We do this so people won't apply just for the money" as a reason to not #ShowTheSalary on job postings is privileged, patriarchal bullshit. Only the independently wealthy (or those who have rich families/ spouses) can take jobs and not worry about the money.
