'We're Sorry': US Company's Quirky One-Word Rejection Letter Raises Eyebrows!
Getting a rejection letter is never a walk in the park, whether it's from a job application or a startup funding pitch. But recently, one Reddit user shared their bizarre experience of receiving a one-word rejection from a North Carolina-based company. The email, devoid of any greeting or explanation, simply stated "Decline."?
Understandably, the recipient was taken aback, questioning whether it was "uncourteous," "rude," or "unprofessional."

The post quickly gained traction, with many sympathising with the user and criticising the company's lack of communication finesse.?
However, in a surprising turn of events, the company reached out to apologise, attributing the mishap to a system malfunction with their recruitment software. They expressed regret, emphasising their commitment to treating all applicants with respect and promised to rectify the issue.
The user, grateful for the response, shared the company's apology, acknowledging the collective effort of Reddit users in bringing attention to the matter.?
While some still preferred a simple "declined," others found solace in the fact that it was a technical glitch rather than deliberate negligence. As the discussion unfolded, opinions remained divided, but one thing was clear: communication matters, even in rejection.
