'The sheer audacity': Company rejects interview candidate, then reaches out for unpaid help months later

There are so many red flags in this story that we lost count. Let's start with the fact that it's one thing for a company to reach out to a former employee for help or advice. However, it's another to reach out to someone they never hired - in fact, someone they fully rejected. And for unpaid advice nonetheless! The 'sheer audacity' is right!

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/Lumberjvvck, serves as yet another example of how many employers these days have no shame when it comes to ethics and boundaries. We haven't even addressed the fact that the Redditor is pretty certain that the person who reached out was the person who received the job offer. How did HR just blindly give away the Redditor's contact information? As we said earlier, there are too many red flags going on here. What's even more upsetting is that if you scroll through the comments below, it's remarkable how unremarkable this phenomenon is. Virtually everyone who commented had been through a similar experience. This company should learn to develop some class.
