    I feel like people block out names way to often now. I they felt comfortable enough to send this email, I’m sure they’d feel comfortable with it being shared with others, right?

      Well they should be, but they could get litigious if they get bad exposure.

          For one, they might have had some NDA as part of the interview process.

          But even if not, they can bring a civil case even on dubious grounds, and the defendant still has to suffer having to defend themselves and go to court.

          If they do sue, it isn’t like the company has huge consequences to be scared of, and even successfully defending yourself won’t feel like a “victory” compared to never having attracted the company’s attention in the first place.

            The law isn’t though.

            In order to break a law you must actually have broken the law.

              Right or not, if you just threaten your opponent with enough juridical costs, they’ll most of the time give up.

      What I don’t get is why people blur out personal information on public posts. You’re not doing anything I can find the original post by just googling the entire sentence. All you’re doing is making discovery harder.
