Man rejected from interview through accidental email to management
Alexander Wood was refused an opportunity to be interviewed for a position he applied for thanks to an accidental HR email.
This was the third time Alexander applied for a barista position at Utica Coffee Roasting Company in New York.
He was interviewed by the company in April 2021 and was offered the role but was unable to accept due to his living circumstances.
In December 2021, after reapplying, HR got in touch with Alexander saying they will set up a time for an interview…but no one got back to him.
After applying again recently in March 2022, Alexander was rejected from any interview after he was CC’d in an email from HR saying he never showed up last time.
“Well, today is the first time I got CC'ed on an email I should not have been,” he wrote on Facebook on March 15.
“It was an email an HR employee meant to send to management about how I never showed up for an interview and I was CC'd into their responses.”
He explained that he was at an “all-time low in my life, I had just left downstate after being rendered homeless for over a week, I had left my toxic relationship, and I was legally tied to an apartment that I did not feel safe living in.”
After sorting out his life, Alexander applied once again, only to randomly check his phone and saw the “triggering email” from the company.
“I got hopeful and checked when I could only to find out it was an email meant for the other managers talking about how I never showed up for an interview,” he continued.
Sharing a screenshot of the email thread, HR had informed management that Alexander had allegedly not shown up for a previous interview.
“Well that’s interesting ok so lets reject him…” management responded.
Alexander said he would “never no-call, no-show an interview, especially at that point in my life.”
Shocked at their unprofessionalism, Alexander responded with proof of their emails showing that someone from HR would get in contact with him but didn’t.
“I am absolutely astonished at the carelessness in this situation. Needless to say, I will not get a job there and will most likely never step foot in the establishment again.
“I'm confident in my skills and I hold enough pride not to put up with this kind of absolute garbage. These are the things you don’t do with your business.”
