💼 Why does rejection at work hurt so much—and how do we move past it?

Whether it’s a failed job interview, a declined proposal, or being passed over for a promotion, rejection in the workplace can feel deeply personal.

According to psychologist Art Markman, the reasons include:
🧠 Rejection sensitivity—some of us are wired to expect rejection
📉 Fear of asking, applying, or risking failure
💔 When rejection hits your self-concept or future goals

Here’s how to cope effectively:
✍️ Write about the experience to process it
🛌 Prioritize sleep to reset emotionally
💬 Work with a therapist to unpack recurring patterns

Success in any field means risking rejection. The trick is learning to face it, grow from it—and keep going.

Fast Company · Why it can be so hard to get over rejection at workBefore you can learn anything from a failure, you first have to get beyond the emotions associated with rejection.

Reviewer #1: "The publication records of the applicant do not support the ability of the PI to conduct ground-breaking research. I was not convinced that there is sufficient evidence of creative and original thinking by the applicant, and that the Pi has the required scientific expertise and capacity to successfully execute the project."

All other 4 reviewers saw that I had good enough CV for the project... what an ass.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

We were born for cooperation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of upper and lower teeth. So to work against each other is contrary to nature; and resentment and rejection count as working against someone.
 
[γεγόναμεν γὰρ πρὸς συνεργίαν ὡς πόδες, ὡς χεῖρες, ὡς βλέφαρα, ὡς οἱ στοῖχοι τῶν ἄνω καὶ κάτω ὀδόντων. τὸ οὖν ἀντιπράσσειν ἀλλήλοις παρὰ φύσιν: ἀντιπρακτικὸν δὲ τὸ ἀγανακτεῖν καὶ ἀποστρέφεσθαι.]

“UK has kindly decided not to accept the refugees it helped to create”

by Laura And Normal Island News on Substack

@UKLabour

“The British government has decided it does not want to accept Palestinian refugees, but it’s quite happy to supply Israel with the weapons that create them. I mean it’s not reasonable for us to take responsibility for the consequences of our actions…”

Once again, the MSM only reports opinion, not research and facts, and Peter Baker, the author of Deference not Defiance ought to know better, unless he assumes his own mantle of power by revealing the ruling class embrace of maga propaganda. The key operation today is the allusion to The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. But east coast journalists don’t consider Le Guin part of the canon. #ursulaleguin #rejection #Palestine nytimes.com/2025/01/19/us/poli

It wasn’t supposed to be a big deal, just a ho-hum announcement of something not happening. Instead the greatest salesperson of the era, whose customer obsession had made #Amazon into a #colossus…, got the greatest customer #rejection of a lifetime.

A ¼M #WashingtonPost readers canceled their subscriptions….That is ~10% of the total circulation. The speed & decisive force of the cancellations was a bit of a shock but also appropriate, said Danny Caine, author of “How to Resist Amazon & Why.”

👀And though #Vance’s journey from rural #poverty to #SiliconValley to the halls of #Congress ought to make him an adept code-switcher—a scene in the movie version of his memoir #HillbillyElegy finds him studying the right way to say the word syrup—it seems as if he’s lost the ability to #hear how he #sounds to people #outside it all. How can you put yourself in an #audience’s shoes when your #politics is rooted in a radical #rejection of #empathy itself?

Em see rup.
