    That is probably a slam dunk (minor) discrimination lawsuit. Your circumstances of birth, including the date, are not something you can be judged for.

    Follow up with your ID or Birth certificate and ask “Excuse me?”

      It wouldn’t get anywhere in the US. Age is the closest protected class, but only applies to over 40 in the US. Discrimination based on month and day of birth isn’t actually illegal.

        I honestly think there’s a gray area here and it’s worth talking to a lawyer if anything. There are certainly some protections for peoples under 40. Being denied a promotion because you’re “too young” is certainly a protection. The catch is you have to prove it.

        This case is easy to prove though if there are any laws over this.

        Edit: but now that I think about it, this is only really a protection if you’re already hired at the place. If you just slam the door on people before they can get in, discrimination seems to be legal.

    What always ticks me off beyond reason in mails like these is the “we genuinely appreciate your time and effort in…”

    Fuck. You. With. An. Umbrella.

    You don’t appreciate shit, you’re full of shit, yet you’re too shit to even just say what you really want to say: fuck you, we don’t give a damn. Because being actually honest might also be bad and cost money.

    Companies like there are the worse and should all burn in hell

    This can’t be real. There are so many red flags this is fake. 1) Everything is censored. 2) GIS (Google image search) lookup only shows reddit and linkedin. The linkedin post is just as vague “learned a colleague received this!” 3) It’s too good to be true. it plays on current fears. 4) It’s just so dumb.

      I fucking hate people like you.

      “Everything on Reddit/Lemmy is fake and gay. Here’s my evidence.”

      All evidence easily has an explanation, most of it laughably so.

      What do idiots who claim everything is fake get out of it? To troll the OP? Or do you just want to spread your misery?

      1 is in no way a red flag, don’t put other’s personally identifying information on the Internet.
