[Job-Discussions] Fwd: 6 Signs of a Dysfunctional Workplace You Can Spot at the Interview | by Elaine | Curated Careers | May, 2021 | Medium

[Jen]

The resume and cover letters were in response to ads they put out. Thanks for reminding me not to be too kind. It’s crazy even the confirmation request e-mails went into the ether, too. It’s like they didn’t care...

Jen, 

Don't be too kind. In the real world, failing to respond is rude.  Assuming the resumes and letters you sent were in response to a job posting, all they had to do was acknowledge receipt of them.

Jordan, maybe it’s because employers are super-busy, and they can’t stand *another* resume and cover letter on their desks? Thinking out loud – opinions welcome. The employers being too busy is how I consoled myself when the resumes and cover letters I sentwent unanswered. The “did you get the resume / cover letter” e-mails also went unanswered...

Could not agree more Dick.  I am frankly stunned at the number of employers who do this.

Jen,

That is not only toxic, but very stupid today. I always remind employers to acknowledge resumes. Some still think it is the Reagan era, where you can treat job seekers any way they please. If they are that discourteous, dump them.

Dick,

This is definitely a good thing to think about.  I had some of the things mentioned in here happen during a few of the jobs interviews I have had in the past few months,and needless to say, I moved on and am continuing job hunting.
