I understand how people who only just enter the workforce might see all employers as some sort of monolithic entity, and maybe go into a sort of "fuck em" kind of mindset, especially if they hang around on Reddit (which is never a good and reasonable source of advice let's be honest), but you really do yourself a disservice. I get it. It's frustrating coming out of university and getting shot down left and right, and sometimes not in a nice way. Even so, I still believe that you should always do what you think is the right thing to do, rather than give up on your principles because those around you seem to not act in kind. It's the same with dating (which TFA is about). I couldn't look at myself in the mirror if I started ghosting people just because I get ghosted regularly (which I do). Just be a decent person and don't let what others do affect you. It's dignified and much healthier for yourself as well if you're above others' bad behaviour.
