At least they got a rejection
Success kid?
More like ghosted kid :/
Funny meta social media posts? Fine. Whatever.
But this is honestly just insulting and unprofessional.
I’m sure they get some applications from people who genuinely need that job, and then they’d get sent that rejection…
It has bad management decision written all over it. Some idiot in the hierarchy thinks they are being cute and ‘relatable’ in their own words I’m sure.
Also, what skills does a fast food chain need?
You can get rejected if you’re not child labour. They want their workers cheap and children are cheap.
Also if you seem too knowledgeable on pesky things like labor rights.
KFC uses commercial pressure cookers. You can blow up a kitchen if you aren't careful around those things. Fast food doesn't look like it requires skills because they have managed to bring an assembly line to the kitchen. It does require a certain amount of spatial awareness, and the ability to switch tasks rapidly.
Did they just tell you that you're not good enough to put chicken in bucket?
KFC is franchised and there are lots of corporate roles. Could be one of those.
Guarantee that's what this is for. No restaurant manager would bother denying with outright denying an application, yet alone sending a rejection email.
It may be a lack of spatial awareness. They use commercial pressure cookers. If you aren't careful with those things you can blow up the kitchen.
I wish brands would stop trying to be funny
I support people having fun at work and think it should happen more.
Oh I like people having fun at work as well, what I don't like is corporate communications trying to weirdly mimic people having fun at work. Maybe I'm just too cynical, but I often find these jokey comms to be souless and artificial and almost never feel like they're genuinely having fun
If I got something like this after applying to a fast food place there's a non-zero chance I kill myself.
Wtf do you mean I don't have the skills? What skills?
KFC in particular uses commercial pressure cookers, or at least they originally did I haven't worked there since before they were called KFC. Those things are dangerous, and if you didn't appear to have a decent amount of spatial awareness, I wouldn't hire you at my store, cause an accident with one of those pressure cookers could end in an explosion.
They didn't want to employ the "spiceslag?!" Disappointing KFC!
You should apply to a Brawndo job
"You don't have what plants crave at this time."
That's not how a professional company rejects an applicant. Judging by this grammarless email (and this email alone), it sounds like you may have dodged a bullet. I am sorry that you've been rejected, though. That's never a fun experience, and their lack of compassion in their "cute" (but actually rather insulting) email is incomprehensible. Just because they didn't see you a a secret recipe, doesn't mean you're not. KFC has gone down hill more than almost any other chain in terms of flavor and quality, and their email here is a testament to their decision-making skills they seem to still be lacking.
E: autocorrect and my own mistakes.
Also, KFC continues to work in Russia, sponsoring the war through taxes. Just in case anyone needs more reasons to hate them
KFC USA always sucked. They have much more variety and quality in other countries. Speaking from experience.
I was no-contacted by Wendy's and McDonald's, and Carl's Jr told me i lived too far away for them to hire me and it to make sense.
