Reddit has become a popular platform for employees to share their job struggles, office experiences, and workplace concerns. Various subreddits have emerged as communities where employees can anonymously share their stories, seek advice, and connect with others who face similar challenges. Recently, a 24-year-old Reddit user shared his disheartening experience of being rejected by a company just five minutes after his job interview ended. The young professional, a former content writer, had taken a break to care for his injured mother and was seeking a temporary role. Despite a seemingly successful interview, he received a rejection email astonishingly quickly.

''I go in for the interview, it lasts about 20 minutes and as far as I'm aware everything is going rather smoothly. We share some laughs together and seem to be on the same page about basically everything. I also let them know about my situation and why I'd not been working this year.
