Employer accidentally messages "difficult" candidate their plans to hire them and let them go: 'It might be in your best interest to take your candidates off the email chains in the future'

There are always going to be certain things that are best off communicated to only their intended audience. For example, you'd probably hate to accidentally send your parents a text detailing your weekend plans with your friends or other intimate details about another personal relationship. No matter what age you are or how close you are to your parents, certain things are better off left undisclosed. The same goes for an employee-employer relationship. Professional decorum relies on certain things being left at the door when you enter the workplace. It's one of the reasons "corporate speak" exists. As tedious as it might be, it allows for formality and clarity where there might have instead been misunderstanding.

Of course, professionally, you'd hate for an internal communication to accidentally be sent to an external party, particularly when that party is a candidate you've been interviewing for a role and that internal communication contains derogatory references to your interpretation of their character… but you're still intending on hiring them anyways, intending to "move on" if concerns come to fruition.

The candidate shared screenshots of the email they received and the exchange that followed with this popular online workplace community, sharing how they didn't receive a reply back after their scathing response.
