The Peter Principle strikes again.

I won't be getting the job that I applied for. However, through correspondence with the people who are in charge, I have confirmed my suspicion that the Peter Principle is the predominant force at work at ITaP.

I hope she can see my icon, because I'm fucking doing it as hard as I can.

Respond to it!!! Respond!! And copy the original woman.

I did.

I replied immediately with gratuitous CC action.

The "hard letter" won't be necessary since you sent this email directly to me. The Peter Principle strikes again.

Have a good weekend,
Chris

To which she replied

Chris-my apologies. Obviously the intent was to assure that while you are quite talented, we have a list of finalists for the position. Please know that we welcome you to apply to other opportunities in our organization.

Kind Regards

I'm not really a grammatical pedant when it comes to email, but I just can't understand how someone can scribble that mess and call themselves a professional. I guess that's why we have "administrative assistants", and hers wrote me a few days later:

Good morning Chris

Ouch. So, with that statement, what do you think your chances are?
