Employer's Bizarre Reason To Reject Candidate: 'Previous Office Was 600 Metres Away' In a viral social media post, the applicant said their application was rejected because their previous office was located 600 metres away from the new office. Just when you thought it could not get any more bizarre, it does. A social media post has gone viral, where an Indian employee shared that their application in another company was denied not because of their skills, but simply because their previous company was located 600 metres away from the new office. “Today I received the most funny rejection mail of my life. They said they liked my profile and experience, but they cannot continue because my previous company is located “approximately 600 meters" from their office due to confidentiality and data security policy," the user wrote in a Reddit post.

At least they were honest instead of saying: ‘we moved forward with other candidates’... I just found this rejection too funny not to share. Corporate world is amazing sometimes," the user wrote. As the post gained traction, social media users were amused by the reason given for the rejection. “This is ancient level thinking which lacks trust for the employees," a user commented. “LMAO, are they developing some Google search level proprietary algorithm? Certainly not but will act like they have top secret stuff," another individual commented. Another user agreed with the company’s decision, saying it makes sense if the company is dealing with clients who are important and like to keep their data secrets. “In today’s hyper connected world, everyone is one phone or email call away, so distance big or small doesn’t matter. I think it’s a joke. You should draft a good reply and see how they respond. Maybe this is a test to see how you process it," another individual wrote.
