TikToker Floored After Accidentally Being CC'ed On HR Email About Why They Wouldn't Hire Him

TikToker Floored After Accidentally Being CC'ed On HR Email About Why They Wouldn't Hire Him

Let's face it, job hunting is daunting for everyone, regardless of whether or not they have an extensive resume or higher education.

Most people who are lucky to land an interview won't even hear back from a potential employer if they're not the right fit. This lack of response forces applicants to be stuck in limbo and unsure if they should move on with their job search.


A TikToker named Alexander, a.k.a. @noveltygay, actually did find out he didn't land the job in an email, but it wasn't intended for him to read.

He was CC'd on the company's internal email indicating why they chose not to hire him.

He wrote in a text overlay for his TikTok video:

“Yeah breakups hurt and stuff but have y’all ever been CC’d on hr emails talking about why they don’t wanna hire you?”

The screenshot Alexander shared in the video was taken from the ending portion of the company's HR email chain.

It read:

“Well that’s interesting ok so let’s reject him…”

This prompted others on TikTok to share their negative experiences with employers.

One TikToker said they would rather receive information like this rather than be "ghosted."

Alexander posted a follow-up video explaining he had applied for a "coffee company based in Utica" three times after the first two attempts didn't work out.

On his third application, Alexander said the company allegedly contacted him with an interview time and he failed to confirm.

He said:

"They basically supposedly had sent me an interview time for this company."
"I'd never gotten it."
"I tried later on and this email proved to me that they had thought they sent me interview times. They had not, and it was not my fault I didn't show up for an interview."

He said the response was triggering because he would never not show up for an interview, especially when he is "knocked on his a**, broke as sh*t."

When Alexander sent them all the screenshots of their exchanges proving he didn't flake on the interview, he said "the company went silent."

He also said he received backlash on his DMs from people who are close with the owner of the coffee company, claiming he's "so nice."

"I don't care," said Alexander.

"I'm a hard worker...I have trained under nationally certified baristas and I'm not gonna be f'king putting up with sh*t" from a company that mistakenly CCs people on HR emails.

Hopefully Alexander's job hunt improves.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

That of course meant it was only a matter of time before all the internet's young people turned him into a meme. And THAT of course meant it was also only a matter of time before he became an object of people's thirst.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
