Comment on I'd rather a simple "no thanks"

This is a boilerplate rejection letter. Companies have been sending rejection letters like this with the same language almost verbatim for decades, long before LLMs existed.
Sorry you got rejected, but be grateful for the closure. Some companies don’t even bother, leaving you wondering how your time invested in a fourth-round interview went.
If it’s a job you actually wanted, reply and ask for some tips on how to improve as a candidate. Otherwise, I don’t really see how this has to do with work reform other than your personal preference of dispensing with superfluous language and getting to the point.

I hate that companies have to be above and beyond on rejection if they do them.
Like i’m glad they give them but, how hard is a:
Subject: Application/Interview Rejected body: Dear name, We regret to inform you that we have decided not to continue with your application/interview process due to X, We appreciate your interest in this company, HR Name
With X being the reason.

There’s no profit in it, is my cynical answer that I wouldn’t be surprised to find is actually true.

No profit, and in my time on this earth it’s also very true that most people have next to non-existent interpersonal skills. They have no idea how to treat a stranger like real person.
