Sending rejection letters by mail: why Forum

[Anonymous User]

I now have had to contact three firms I haven't heard from to ask them wtf, since I have an offer expiring.

All three sent me snail mail dings post-callback. All three had to scan the ding letter today and send it to me via email. There is no possible way that this whole prolonged process was easier than just sending me a simple email.

One firm forgot to put my apartment number on the envelope. Another firm sent it to my law school's address with my name on it (wtf), and the third letter IDK what the hell happened but I didn't get it.

WHAT IS THE POINT, LAW FIRMS? WHY DO YOU DO THIS

IT'S NOT CLASSY IT'S FUCKING DUMB

I'm sorry. I hope your venting made you feel better.

There was a firm I was really hoping for. It seriously would have been my top choice.

I got an email from the hiring partner about a week after the interview telling me he wanted to speak to me later that evening.

I all but broke out champagne. Who calls to tell someone they're not getting a job?

Apparently, this guy. Jesus Christ that was a let down. I appreciate the thought, but after having that conversation I would have preferred an email.

I had an almost identical situation, except I was asked to call the next morning. I'm scarred for life.
