Candidate rejected for tweet

Twitter user “theconner” was happy as she had just landed a well-paid job from internet company Cisco, but was not sure whether to accept. She tweeted the following:

“Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work.”

Soon after, the company rescinded the offer, tweeting in reply:

“Who is the hiring manager? I’m sure they would love to know you will hate the work. We here at Cisco are versed in the web.”
