‘You Rejected The Damn Upgrade': GenZ Candidate's Sassy Response To CEO Is Viral
Last Updated: A rejection response from a Gen Z candidate is setting the internet abuzz, after Coditas CEO Mitul Bid shared it on LinkedIn. Gen Z isn't afraid to speak its mind, and sometimes, the whole internet listens to them. Known for their direct approach, they are reshaping workplace expectations by questioning everything from work-life balance to leadership styles. A Gen Z candidate recently caught the internet's attention for their unapologetic boldness. Mitul Bid, founder and CEO of tech company Coditas, recently shared a screenshot of a response he received from a Gen Z candidate who was not selected for a role. Bid, clearly impressed if not a bit amused, posted the message on LinkedIn, captioning it, 'GenZ, you keep on teaching me!" What did Gen Z write? Based on the screenshot shared by Mitul Bid, the Gen Z wrote, 'Totally respect your decision, but just wanted to say– Cool, you've decided to 'Move forward other candidates." — but let's be honest, you didn't even clock what I'm really capable of. You barely knew my skill set, my drive, or what I bring to the game." 'But no worries — bigger doors are opening, and trust me, I'll crack a major opportunity with your company that actually knows how to spot real talent. I believe in myself. I'm gonna build something big. I'm not here to beg for chances — I create them. And mark my words, one day I'll be sitting at the top while folks like you get shown the door," it added. Stating that the company 'lost a gem,' it concluded saying, 'And one day, when I'm sitting in that corner office, don't be surprised if I'm the one signing your exit letter. You didn't reject me. You rejected the damn upgrade. I don't chase opportunities — I create them. I don't wait for offers — I become the offer. So yeah — you lost a gem, and I'll make sure the world knows it." In his LinkedIn post, Bid also shared how people from different generations reacted to Gen Z's reply to the email. He mentioned that the opinion was 'largely a generational one." 'Boomers and Gen X were, at the very least, shocked. Some were even angered," he wrote. Millennials had mixed views. Some were shocked, others expressed understanding, and a few called it an influence of social media. 'Most, but some were also understanding. Heard the terms 'entitlement', 'disillusioned', 'influenced by social media', etc," he added. Gen Z, on the other hand, largely supported the candidate, citing that they understood where the candidate was coming from. 'I heard terms like 'manifestation', 'self-worth', 'motivation', etc," Mitul Bid stated. Here's how the Internet Reacted The candidate's fiery words didn't go unnoticed, and it has sparked a heated conversation across different generations. The comments section of the post soon became a melting pot of opinions. 'It sounds harsh, but I love his/her confidence," commented a user. Another wrote, 'Audacity of the guy. Not sure where the generation is going." 'Mitul Bid I think he got hurt & went a bit far… humility is required, probably he couldn't handle the rejection… you know! Everyone can't deal with situations in an expected way. Some people lose it all…maybe this guy holds himself to a very high esteem & standard," read a comment. An individual stated, 'As someone who is Gen Z and has been working closely with other Gen Z colleagues, I can confirm that we (i.e. most of us) certainly don't behave this way. Some of us may be confident enough to say 'no" to our 'millennial" or 'boomer" managers (if at all need be), but this case exceeds even the Gen Z behavior rulebook, if there ever was one." 'We all must have said this in our minds at least once in our lifetimes after being rejected, but Gen Z said it aloud," quipped a user. An account posted, 'While the confidence of the candidate is really praiseworthy and I am totally rooting for them, the email does carry a hint of self-aggrandisement and slightly derisive as well. To have faith in one's abilities is one of the strongest feathers to have in one's cap, but carrying a rejection with grace is what sets someone truly apart." While some social media users loved' the confidence, others pointed out the importance of grace in rejection. A few even quipped that everyone must have thought of this reply at least once in their lives. What do you think?

‘You lost a gem, I'll make sure the world knows...': Gen Z's reply to rejection mail catches founder's attention
Generation Z, known for its direct and unapologetic approach, is challenging the very core of corporate culture – questioning everything from work ethics to leadership styles, traditional hierarchies, and the meaning of success itself. One such exemplary Gen Z recently caught the eye of Coditas' founder and CEO, Mitul Bid, who shared with the Internet a candidate's unique perspective on a rejection email. In a LinkedIn post, Bid shared a screenshot of the purported email response of a Gen Z candidate who was not accepted at Coditas and said, 'GenZ, you keep on teaching me!' Based on the screenshot shared by Mitul Bid, after protecting the individual's privacy, the Gen Z replied to the rejection email saying, 'Totally respect your decision, but just wanted to say-- Cool, you've decided to 'Move forward other candidates.' — but let's be honest, you didn't even clock what I'm really capable of.' 'You barely knew my skill set, my drive, or what I bring to the game. But no worries, bigger doors are opening, and trust me, I'll crack a major opportunity with your company that actually knows how to spot real talent,' the candidate added. 'I believe in myself,' the Gen Z said, adding that they are going to build something big. 'I'm not here to beg for chances, I create them. And mark my words, one day I'll be sitting at the top while folks like you get shown the door.' 'And one day, when I'm sitting in that corner office, don't be surprised if I'm the one signing your exit letter. You didn't reject me. You rejected the damn upgrade,' the candidate added. 'I don't chase opportunities, I create them. I don't wait for offers, I become the offer,' the email read. The candidate concluded the email with: 'So yeah — you lost a gem, and I'll make sure the world knows it.' Screenshot of Gen Z's reply to rejection mail According to Mitul Bid's LinkedIn post, he shared Gen Z's reply to the rejection mail with people from different generations, and the opinion, he said, was 'largely a generational one'. 'Boomers and Gen X were, at the very least, shocked. Some were even angered,' he said, adding that Millennials' opinion was mixed. 'Most were shocked, but some were also understanding. Heard the terms 'entitlement', 'disillusioned', 'influenced by social media', etc,' he added. Bid, however, found Gen Z was largely supportive of the candidate and understood where the candidate was coming from. 'I heard terms like 'manifestation', 'self-worth', 'motivation', etc,' he added. Social media users 'loved' the confidence and joked about how everyone must have thought of this reply at least once in their lives. 'It sounds harsh, but I love his / her confidence,' a user said. 'Great perspective,' said another user. A netizen joked, 'We all must have said this in our minds at least once in our lifetimes after being rejected, but GenZ said it aloud.' 'Honestly, felt like I'd accidentally tuned into Episode 4 of some daily soap named 'Rejections and Rage', complete with dramatic closeups and a motivational soundtrack,' another joked. He added, 'On a serious note, every 'no' in this game is free market research: a chance to refine your pitch, sharpen your presence, and recalibrate your playbook. Shame it's a concept some folks still struggle to grasp.' 'A very clear case of having over done exercises on 'How To Manifest Your Dream Job'. This is something Z was supposed to write and burn off . Unfortunately, Z sent it to you!' laughed a user.
