'I don't have $60 to attend your fundraising event': Job applicant asked to donate to the company that rejected her

Imagine reaching out to a former employer for a full-time opportunity, getting flat-out rejected, and then being asked to give money to the organization. You have to admire the audacity of these people. 

This Redditor shared that after successful contracted work, she sought a salaried position at the same company and put a ton of work into her application. When she was rejected, she wound up receiving what was clearly a copy-and-paste rejection email. She ended up reaching out to her contact at the company to see if her former employer knew she had applied for the position or if it was some low-level intern who rejected her. As it turns out, her boss was aware of the Redditor's application and still chose to send the impersonal rejection letter without any acknowledgment of the work the Redditor had done for the company in the past.

But wait, it only gets worse. The former boss's next move was to invite the Redditor to a fundraising event for the organization in the same email. Furthermore, the price of admission was $60 per ticket, as if the Redditor would be willing to spend her funds during unemployment on the company that just rejected her.
