But then again, not everyone goes to Hogwarts, and just like older characters, there's plenty of other space for the characters, squib or not, to move around and roleplay in. WoP is not only for studying but for roleplaying aswell.

Right now they have no obligation to tell you why you got rejected or that you even got rejected in the first place.

Telling someone why, I understand it cant always be done, since it can lead to neverending discussions and controversies.

But telling someone they didn't get hired is a way to close the chapter of wonder and allow people to search for other posts instead of weeks of waiting for answers on the first one.

for example; My cat ran away and it was much harder to not knowing if they were dead or not than knowing how they passed away.

And if you suspect there is false rumors going around or you have evidence for that you should speak to your MoM since slandering (talking about someone in a negative and untrue ways) is illegal under European law and is not allowed on WoP.

And there's just as many people who get anxiety from not knowing.

I think its like a bandaid, its better to rip it off fast than to do it slowly. It hurts less.

And theres always a way to communicate something in a neutral way. "This is an automatic message to tell you we're sorry, you didn't get the job this time, but you're welcome to apply again another time." Instead of "You didn't get the job, we found someone better." #phrasing

And getting rejected from something prepares you for how life and society really works. You cant get everything and you need to actually hear that sometimes too, no matter how shit it feels.

And to apply for a club is a button-press away and something you can ask from the members in their job application (which the guidelines for what to write in the application is often written in the club description anyway)

so its always doable.

in that case I think its important to communicate that in the automatic rejection letter. As I wrote above "better luck next time" or "you're welcome to apply again when other positions open up" or however you'd like to express yourself. Communication is key to all healthy realtionships weather its professional or personal :)

I think the idea behind the emoji being there is to have an emoji for something that has a great part in the HP series. For example; chocolate frogs and being able to have a frog or toad as a pet at Hogwarts. So to remove such an iconic animal that's part of the series I feel is just weird tbh.
