    Default A Rejection Letter from The Company I Work For

    I started a new job late last year with this company that I had been trying to get into for several years with no luck. Finally, after four rounds of interviews, I got an offer and accepted. About three weeks into the job, I get this rejection letter at home from the same company. Nice to have your act together HR. Wow

    Classic, man. I would have walked down to HR, slapped my employee badge on the desk of the HR director and showed him/her the letter. In this economy, HR in their defense can't handle the inflow of resumes.

    I don't know Hambo, greenpeace (welcome to the site, by the way) might risk getting canned and nobody can afford that these days. Chaulk it up to a company mess up

    I'm surprised Greeenpeace that your company even had time to send you a letter. They must be getting hundreds of resumes daily. I know my company is and we don't even bother responding. Not enough bodies to processs the information. It's that simple

    badass, that's exactly what I am seeing with my company. It's a Fortune 500 company and I am a tiny cog, but we had a marketing opening recently and we received over 500 resumes. That's what the filter delivered to us, Lord knows how many came to the filter

    I would talk with my boss and make sure that there is nothing to this, just in case, you know. I've heard of people getting downsized a month into their job, so I would ask your boss to explain this to you

    Ace, I totally agree. Employers cannot be trusted anymore. Their CEO pay went from 9x the average salary 20 years ago to 38x today, so they need to keep it real lean and mean so the big guy at the top get his increasing share of the pie. Sorry for the rant, but the 20% real unemployment has me a bit down this am

    HR executives are people that don't know anything about the company and just like being a funnel for upper management. They can be so clueless sometimes. I want to be the head of HR for a big corporation and just sit back.....
