HIRING MANAGER ACCIDENTALLY SENT JOB INTERVIEW NOTES TO INTERVIEWEE, MOCKS HIS ATTIRE

Hiring Manager sent interview notes to me directly
Yesterday I interviewed at a company that advertised a role as hybrid. Upon my in-person interview, the hiring manager expected me to come to the office 4-5 days a week, which I voiced was not what was listed.

Today, I received an accidental email from the hiring manager intended for the recruiter saying, “candidate wants to work remote and was dressed inappropriately in work at home attire”. I went out and bought a new outfit for the interview and ran it by half a dozen people beforehand. The email ended with “please repost the job listing”.

I’m flabbergasted. Do I reply?!

UPDATE: I replied briefly and professionally. Clearly it was not a fit for either of us. While I’d love to be snarky, knowing the hiring manager is likely squirming after being chewed out by HR is enough. Dodged a bullet!

Netizens’ comments

1. I’d personally write back just so he knows what a dumbass he is. Maybe say something about how inappropriate it is to advertise hybrid for a nearly full time in office role.
2. Send response “Hiring manager somehow landed managerial position despite lack of attention to detail ensuring email was sent to proper parties & not candidates. Please post listing for capable manager. Thank you.”
3. “Hi, (hiring manager)
   I believe I inadvertently received this email from you, which describes your candid thoughts on our interview to your internal team.
   Although I am sure you didn’t mean to send this to me, I am grateful you did.
   I am pleased to not be moving forward with a company that advertises a role as “hybrid”, and then proceeds to “bait-and-switch” a candidate with the expectation of working in an office nearly 100% of the time.
   If your organization cannot be honest during your hiring process, I would not be surprised there would be other areas in your operations which would also lack integrity
   I wish you the best of luck for finding a candidate more suitable for your demonstrated company culture
   Regards,
   Candidate”
4. “Manager is blatantly lying about both the nature of the job, and my tasteful outfit (picture attached). Manager lacks competence, and sent sensitive interview notes directly to candidate.
   Please re-train or replace manager.”
