Reminds me of my sister getting in trouble for saying she had to go at 4:20. It was deemed “unprofessional”. She has a appointment, lol
What? How old are you?
We genuinely appreciate
🤣You obviously don’t you dickheads
Damn, hopefully that won’t happen to me. I was born on June 9th
That date means nothing to me, what happened there?
Nice day.
Glad that won’t happen to me. I was born on January 6th.
Now I’m imagining someone legitimately putting their Jan6 involvement on a resume.
Window Structural Integrity Tester (Jan 6th, 2021): Responsibilities included - unconventional team-building activities, conditioning, navigating unfamiliar territory, and breaking down barriers.
Nah, it’d probably be more like:
Security Field Tester (Jan 6, 2021): Part of a group that organized a large-scale “peaceful march” in order to thoroughly check security protocols for the Capitol building. Duties included attempts at theft to see if we’d be stopped, testing window durability by attempting to break them, engaging physically with security staff in riot gear to test security training, and shouting terroristic threats in order to see how secure government protocols were in the event of a riot at a governmental building.
It’s called Physical Pen Tester. Such a job actually exists.
I would spam them with even more “inappropriate” but equally plausible applications out of sheer pettiness and the vain hope that a real person would see it and realize that using AI to screen job applications is an awful idea.
What always ticks me off beyond reason in mails like these is the “we genuinely appreciate your time and effort in…”
Fuck. You. With. An. Umbrella.
You don’t appreciate shit, you’re full of shit, yet you’re too shit to even just say what you really want to say: fuck you, we don’t give a damn. Because being actually honest might also be bad and cost money.
Companies like there are the worse and should all burn in hell
Thank you for the opportunity!
That is what happens when you don’t write your birthday in the correct format you filthy barbarian
4\20
That’s embarrassing. Ping their recruitment team on LinkedIn.
Ping their recruitment team on LinkedIn
This is such a weird way to say “post this screencap publicly on LinkedIn and tag their entire C-level team”
My dad actually got involved in something like this. He got rejected from a job after a background check company confused HIM (a 59-year-old white guy) with another guy (a black 32-year-old man) who happened to share the same name, in the same city, and provided the contracting company with information that stated my father was wanted for felony larceny. I think we wound up getting something like $700 from a small class-action against the background check provider, and it got settled out of court because someone blew it up with the local news.
that’s unfortunate. sure looks like they could use some competency in the area applied-for.
So, uh, what was on 4/20?
For possible non US people? https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/420

In fairness for non-US this makes even less of an issue as my birthday is 20/4 and 4/20 as a date is meaningless.
I was about to mention how it originally started as a time of day but 4:20 is probably early morning for you too.
It’s a reference to smoking weed. Reread it with that in mind and it’ll be clear.
Hitler’s death.
Close. He died on 4/30, he was born on 4/20. But there were many deaths at Columbine High School on 4/20/1999.
My bad. Only good thing Hitler did though.
I fucking despise the fact that AI almost exclusively is responsible for throwing out 99% of all resumes before they reach a human being
The problem isn’t AI the problem is brainless humans who configured the AI.
AI isn’t going to become skynet and take over the world unless someone tells it to. In which case the human is the problem.
Someone is going to tell it to
You know someone is stupid enough to do it 😂
This isn’t just AI. AI doesn’t care about jokes or memes or “professionalism.” This was either a review by an actual human that didn’t realize people are born on April 20th or an AI told to reject resumes with that date in it.
Either way, it’s a really dumb person that set this rule.
My guess is it’s programmed to reject 4/20 anywhere it finds it and the programmer didn’t take into account that some values can just happen to be 4/20.
Sounds plausible. Could just be extremely lazy. “What about dates with 4/20” “Oh come on, how often will that legitimately occur”
The chances against it must be one in a million.
If a person set the rule it is definitely not an AI…
What is wrong with April 20th?
4:20 is the traditional time to smoke marijuana.
I’m not getting up that early. What’s the point in having a drug habit if you don’t get to lie in I thought that was the whole point?
4:20 p.m., known as 1620 in much of the world.
Well, I hope that this gets someone in shit.
If you were normal… 20/4/19xx … or 20th of April, 19xx. If you insist on freedom units and format, its your own fault!
Also, who knows what it was written to identify? you are all speculating. It could have been weed smokers (420) but it could also have been written to filter out the yanks…!
There are people laughing at them for not hiring someone born at 20th of April , very same folks riding elevators and not finding weird that the 13th floor is missing.
