"due to the amount of applicants, we can't respond to every applicant email"

let me translate the manager-speak for you: "due to us being stuck-up douchebags, we feel as though our company is more valuable than literally the 2 minutes of time it takes to write a yes or no email, so we'd rather keep you hanging and never give you feedback. oh yeah we're also not professional at all"

god why the FUCK am i even applying for jobs, each place is more shittier and toxic than the next

“Oh boy, for us walking down the street is like Left 4 Dead but with job applicants instead of zombies.”

Guilty as charged.

When you get 100 plus mails, answering each mail is pesky.

Some mails were deleted automatically, others were filtered away on certain criteria.

I really would love to tell all the stories about wtf you get in job application mails, but here are some juicy non specific hints:

- porn mails (yes. Porn. Naked stuff.)
- faked certificates, e.g. from a school which doesn't exist
- written letter on paper that has achieved the state of "biological ecosystem" (mold from food / drink stains)
- written letter on paper for non business use (diddl paper, blotting paper, graph paper, ...)
- file attachments of 100 MB plus
- addresses like "cuntfucker@..."
- sometimes indiscriminating / insulting text (from "I wouldn't mind going out for dinner with you, sir" to "recruit me or I torch your building down")

Memories of sometimes wondering why people just not rub one out instead of pestering people out of seemingly boredom...

Don't get me started on grammar or spelling. Sometimes the mail just got deleted because I was tired after finding 10 plus mistakes in one sentence containing 6 words...

So yes, it's kind of a group punishment, after a certain point it's just too annyoing to answer everyone.

@IntrusionCM since when is diddl paper not considered professional?
it even smells nice!!

@Jedidja *death stare*

I forgot that... Opening letters which were so heavy on parfume that I choked.
