serioulsy, what are you talking about ? This kid needed a job (pretty bad i would think) and he wrote a "smart" cover letter with his name/email address. HOw is that information being passed around other members of the company a violation ? I don't know about other countries but in the US, I would think it is normal. I mean u need a job. Do you really think your email address is that critical to hide from other senior members of a company u want to apply to ?


The issue is the author openly admitted to them sending these letters out for laughs when they are from people trying to blow themselves out of proportion.


Being unemployed doesn't mean you have no rights. It's just basic politeness to respect that.
