> rejection calls (a sadistic practice, if you’re not going to offer feedback IMO)

Perhaps you're referring to other channels of communication, but I'd much rather have a rejection call than no contact at all. Corporate ghosting is much more sadistic.



If I'm not getting the job, just send me an email. JMHO.


In college, one company woke me up with a phone call at 7 AM to reject me. They were even in the same time zone!


Ouch. Talk about adding insult to injury (or, at least, mild inconvenience). At least in my case, they scheduled the call, which avoids being woken up or otherwise interrupted, but prolongs the agony a little.


At least do SOMETHING. Perfectly fine with an email.
