A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I'd rather a simple "no thanks" (lemmy.zip)

I'd feel more considered if I'd gotten no email at all

Some think this isn't an LLM (I still disagree), but either way I find the message to be incredibly patronizing. My effort doesn't feel acknowledged when their not putting any effort into rejecting me.

This is a boilerplate rejection letter. Companies have been sending rejection letters like this with the same language almost verbatim for decades, long before LLMs existed.

Sorry you got rejected, but be grateful for the closure. Some companies don't even bother, leaving you wondering how your time invested in a fourth-round interview went.

If it's a job you actually wanted, reply and ask for some tips on how to improve as a candidate. Otherwise, I don't really see how this has to do with work reform other than your personal preference of dispensing with superfluous language and getting to the point.

I hate that companies have to be above and beyond on rejection if they do them.

Like i'm glad they give them but, how hard is a:

Subject: Application/Interview Rejected

body:

Dear name,

We regret to inform you that we have decided not to continue with your application/interview process due to X,

We appreciate your interest in this company,

HR Name

With X being the reason.

There's no profit in it, is my cynical answer that I wouldn't be surprised to find is actually true.

At least you got a response.
