Why are people comparing this to a job app? The reason it's annoying you don't get a call back for a job in real life is because you have no idea who they hired, when they hired, or even if they ended up hiring anyone

The way you know you did not get the job here is because they post a public announcement to everyone saying who the applicant that got the job was. That's your "rejection call" if you will.

If the league up and hired someone without an announcement and then all of a sudden someone was just performing the job then I'd say you all have a point, but that's not how it works. The HO announces each job individually in the announcement section
