Job-Seeker Rejected, Manager Asks Them To Donate To Company Fundraiser Anyway

Getting rejected from a job is rough enough, but some companies really know how to twist the knife.

This story starts with a pretty standard job application—but then takes a hard left into territory that feels almost too weird to be real.

Imagine being told you didn’t get the position, and then being asked to support the company’s fundraiser.

It’s the kind of ask that makes you do a double take just to be sure you’re not missing a joke.

These are the kinds of moments the internet lives for: equal parts baffling, morbidly funny, and painfully relatable.

Whether you’ve been on the receiving end of a tone-deaf rejection or you’re just here to shake your head in secondhand disbelief, this one’s worth the scroll.
