Ireland's RTE Radio tells a job applicant to go "$%&# yourself"

no job

In a nation with 15% unemployment, it isn’t shocking when someone sends out a resume looking for work. However, a 28-year old DJ in Ireland who was looking for a job sent an application online to the national radio service, RTE Radio, and his online reply left him stunned. Irish Central reports the DJ received a reply to his job inquiry, which told him to “go F%$# yourself.” RTE Radio, which is completely subsidized by the government, owned up to it and sent out an internal email demanding the person who sent the response confess, or “RTE would get the IT department involved to track the individual down.” An RTE spokesman says they are investigating the incident, and are treating it “extremely seriously.”
