“Society, this is really the first time. I was sent an Amazon gift card as part of my rejection,” reads the caption posted alongside the images. The first picture shows a gift card called “Movie Night at Home”.
The second image is a rejection the user received from a company called Secret Sushi. In an email, the company thanked the Reddit user for applying for the job. As the letter continues, the company expresses that while they were “impressed” with the applicant’s “background and experience”, they have decided to select another candidate for the role. The letter also ends on a very positive note.
“In the meantime, I wish you the best in your job search and all future endeavors. Thank you again for considering a career with us at Secret Sushi. We really appreciate the time and effort you took to get to know us and we hope our paths may cross again in the future,” read the last few lines of the email.
Check out this reddit post about the rejection letter:
The post was shared four days ago. Since it was published, it has received over 2,000 upvotes. Additionally, the share garnered several comments.
“You know what? It’s actually pretty cool. It’s telling me, ‘we’re sorry, we chose someone else, but we see you and we appreciate you,’ which is better than just being funny and shunned,” a Reddit user posted. “It makes me makes you think they really struggled to select candidates. There are a lot of decent people out there, not that many decent jobs. Good luck in your search!” added another.
»Honestly, nice of them. I’m sorry you didn’t get it after all!” joined the third. To which the original poster replied: “That was the best rejection I’ve ever received and left me with a smile.” A fourth wrote: “That’s pretty classy. It must have been a difficult choice for the candidates if they give gifts to those they rejected. Good luck in your search! Or at least get more gift cards lol.”
