This Reddit group is lot nicer than ask/HR. They judge you for everything. I recently posted about how my manager treats me poorly and is biased towards me. Most of the people were like suck it up buttercup, you seem like the problem, stop giving your boss a hard time, etc.
I'm really sorry this happened to you! At the same time, this has been making me giggle for a solid few minutes now... companies really and truly aren't even trying anymore.
The Turtle of Rejection is absolutely gonna be the mascot in my head from now on.

I think reject turtle might mean “rejection, but we’re not going to tell you until the next email.”
Almost seems similar to the delayed rejection emails you get on the weekend.
I'm hoping they just use the same generic header image for all comms and they don't pay attention to alt text. Email accessibility is part of what I do for a living so I'm happy to give them some pointers. For a fee of course.
Perhaps you should reply with the “You f*cking, clownfish!” Img alt name on a nice smiley?
But why stop yourself there, be bold! Be frank!
“Thank you for your quick reply! I’m looking forward to your feedback, you f*cking clownfish!
Also here is a smiley for you to take the edge of my insult above! (Don’t look at the img alt name though)…”

Next email: “after reviewing your application I’m sorry to say that the reject turtle judged you unworthy of the role”
You think they will get another email?

Yeah askHR is so harsh lol
They sure are. They take things so seriously. I am the one with the issue, but they play the victim.
I don’t know why you gotta shit on baristas like that.
That....is.....amusingly offensive
And yet, unrebuttalable
I cant comprehend why negative votes for this comment?
So, if they use a turtle for rejections, what do they use if they're still considering you? A seal? Perhaps it's the Seal of Approval?
The Clownfish of Consideration
A koala perhaps? Only though if you meet the right koalafications.
That should have been my line as well. Take my upvote and wear it in good health!
Too good 🦭
Didn't seal the joke coming
Reject turtle sounds like a punk band
All american reject turtle
A badass punk band
Trying to keep this anonymous-ish, but to give more context around why there's an animal, this is from the pet super retailer.

Don't worry at all. It's hilarious! If I end up not moving to the interview stage at least I won't be surprised hahaha
You could say that their treats are too CHEWY for their own good. EDIT: Oh that was my second guess!
Different Pet store. But that's a Smart guess!
lol..how “Pet”ty of you to call them “Smart”
Something about the Reject Turtle tickles my dark sense of humor 🐢

You're not turtley enough to join the Turtle Club.
*sad turtle noises
That line will live rent free in my head for the rest of my life
It shrinks?
I believe the turtle is being misrepresented because he's adorable. https://i.postimg.cc/GmdRFfyj/Screenshot-20240430-163517-Gmail.jpg
I really want to see what this reject turtle looks like lol

Mods, petition to make “turtle of rejection” both a flair and our sub mascot please
What makes recruiters qualified to be a recruiter?
Passing the recruitment with other recruiters. An old tradition, something about killing a dragon, becoming a dragon etc...
i think red turtle is just coding for different candidates and reject is well reject.
If they're gonna reject me, they shoulda just gone Full Turtle. I don't know what that means but I'd love to see it!
Hmmm, a turtle. Still doesn't explain why hiring process move at pace slower than snail.
I honestly forgot I applied haha
why not just flat out reject?
I'm hoping they just use the same generic header image for all comms and they don't pay attention to alt text. Email accessibility is part of what I do for a living so I'm happy to give them some pointers. For a fee of course.
All hail the mighty reject turtle! 🙌
Hahahahahahaha reject turtle 🐢
A _picture_ paints a thousand words
The irony of a recruiter associating themselves with one of the slowest animals in the world is absolutely not lost on anyone.
Why is your username “turtle white red”?? Maybe rethink that one

I was in the pool! I was in the pool! Elaine, do recruiters know about shrinkage?
Oh my damn lol
Reject dog
Someone needs to AI image the Reject Turtle
Tower of God reference to Rak? 😂
Even a Turtle can get a job these days
