    They must have made a mistake.
    I’ve gotten rejected, twice, by companies I positively never applied to. Nor were they any subsidiaries or whatever of other companies.
    Then again, one time I’ve also gotten a rejection mere hours after applying.
    Also notable: This one time last year when I e-mailed my application and received a very official rejection letter a few weeks later… by snail mail. Signed by the CEO himself. Not sure if that’s supposed to be a badge of honor or something.

      They really wanted to send you a message by rejecting you as hard as possible.

      The fifteen-year one seems to be the fault of some excruciatingly long-lived automated system. The six-month one was apparently just the molasses pace of east-coast defense contractors.
