Jashub:
I do support the lady's rudeness, but the company should have informed her on the method they would use to contact her in case she was selected. It is just standard procedure.

Kondomatic:
Dude, how is receiving whatsapp messages from unknown person a breach of privacy and security?


Must we find excuse for everything?

"Hello, good evening Mary."

This here shows that the sender you know her a little.

The best rude response should be "Good evening, please who is this"?

Not "Hu is dis" followed by "how did you get my number"


Call a spade a spade.




5n is not a response to good evening in any language on earth and there's nothing "nonsense" in being told to calm down.

womenareapes:
when you are sending your CV to companies, is it your father's phone number you put in your CV?

you make think that you are intelligent but you lack common sense

Jashub:
Just wait a minute. Are you implying that stalkers cannot get your number and know your name through means unknown to you?

Jashub:
[s][/s]It seems you do not know the difference between empathy and common sense

JONNYSPUTE:
....Even if the person is a stalker? Must she be rude with her response ?

Jashub:
You are still missing the point here!

Most people behave differently under different circumstances:

The way Mr. A would react when a stalker gets his name and number would be different from the way Mr. B would react.

We all cannot behave the same under the same condition. Which is why the company should have taken the pains to notify her prior to the time.

uni69:
This kind of matter deserves a prayer point.
God no let me miss my blessings because of my attitude

JONNYSPUTE:
....I agree with you that we all respond differently to different situations.

But being polite is just a simple curtsey.

And who is she to tell the company on how to notify her?

Jashub:
This is your OWN response. And not everyone will act the way you would under a given situation. Remember that

Jashub:
I agree, but try and look at it from this perspective : you receiving a text from an anonymous number on WhatsApp is a breach on your privacy and security. And as you know, this is 9ja, and you cannot vouch for the next man. So her response is only natural given the circumstances

MhisTahrah:
People who type 'who' as 'hu' annoy me, what would it take you to type a 3-letter word?You only have to type 'w' sef and autocorrect will do the rest for you.Na wa

ABCthingx:
What is natural? Are you alright?

Yuneehk:
What's amusing is the way she switched from the stupid short form to a formal way of texting.

The fact that it's a strange number and she didn't know who it was isn't an excuse to have replied the way she did. He was polite from the beginning of the conversation and didn't deserve such reply, stranger or not. All she had to reply was either a hello in return or a greeting. Wait for the next message from the fellow before you start to craze.

She won't be forgetting this one in a long time. This will teach her to be polite with any new contact on WhatsApp/anywhere else, serious person or not

OscarJaden:
A lady identified as Mary who applied as an intern in a firm last month lost the job because of the way she replied the interviewer unknowingly on Whatsapp.

The interviewer greeted her but before he could introduce himself, she was already blasting him with questions. Even when he tried to calm her down, she refused.

in her words:Wat nonsense, don’t tell me 2 calm down. Who is this?

khingTony:
These girls thinks that every guy that slides into their DMs are sex starved perverts.

See how this one dey type self "5n" "Hu" "dis" "Num"
Na wa oh

We still have a long way to go in this country

Perfectsouth:
Bro, if you message me on WhatsApp irrespective of who you are, I will first greet you sir or MA.
Cos I will want to believe for you to have my number, you must have gotten it from someone or somewhere

Pidgin is different from intentionally misspelling and shortening words.No be Pidgin be dis?You can't come and type 'hu z dis' which is a misspelling of 'who is this' when you can just say 'who be dis' to actually make it Pidgin.You get?

CalliDora1:
The job was not meant for her. Forget it. When something is yours, it doesn't matter what you do or don't do, you'll get it.

Jashub:
Oga, in saner climes, there is what we call a "Standard Procedure" of recruitment.

This is done by companies with an organised structure on ground and most of these companies (except you are running a mushroom company ) have this standard procedure for REACHING out to applicants. It can be through SMS, WhatsApp, Social media, Newspapers etc.


These companies will notify you(the applicant) prior to when the outcome of the interview is out.

And not through impromptu tactics being done here by this...this...chai! I do not know even know what to call this company sef.

genitori:



Ma, you think so; I think this is 'over-religiousness'.
Even for one to get to one's destiny, efforts are needed.

lexy2478:
This matter ehn, I'm so surprised some people are still defending that girl, her reply was so rude, she should at least respond politely
