"Stephanie, who goes by the username @essenceofstephanie on TikTok, shared that she had recently turned down a job offer because she "got a better one". She then proceeded to share the let-down firm's surprising response which got her ego "pumping iron" that day. "We are very-very sad," the employer began in a bullet-pointed list over email that wished her well on her next venture. "I am very happy for your great opportunity and wish you all the best," Stephanie read aloud."
"The rejection response letter, which has racked up over 380,000 views, has left TikTok viewers wondering whether she made the right choice by turning the company down. "That would make me reconsider so fast," the most popular comment reads. "That email would have me second-guessing my decision," another echoed. "100% would decline [the] other offer and accept theirs after that email," someone else added. "They clearly value their people- they value you and you don't even work there yet.""
Employers increasingly ban job hoppers and ask intrusive questions, leaving candidates with low expectations. A candidate turned down one offer after receiving a better one. The prospective employer replied with a warm, bullet-pointed email expressing sadness, congratulating the candidate, offering to stay in touch, inviting the candidate to return if the new job disappoints, and jokingly asking for an "amazing clone" as a replacement. The message energized the candidate and went viral on TikTok. Viewers praised the tone as a green flag for company culture, said the email could prompt candidates to reconsider, and noted the company appeared to value its people.
