Again, this kind of belief is so misguided. He may well have been rejected by that interview team back then. That rejection may well have kept him from getting his interview years later from which he was actually hired. We are entitled to nothing. If we get hired, whenever we get hired, it represents a major stroke of luck.

As shown by my foregoing, that thinking is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard. To assume you would have been hired at any other time than when you were actually hired is so immature, it's hard to believe.

As equally silly as the previous.

True only as long as you have such a delusional level of entitlement.
