Looking for closure?

If you haven't gotten your answer, then you've gotten your answer. Fill in the likely blanks: they are busy with their day jobs and as you admit, they're assuming you already know the outcome because you bombed the technical assessment.

On to the next one.

So, as GP said, unnecessarily rude. This tiny gesture wouldn't cost them much, just like basic manners don't cost much.

See my response to your sibling, below.

There's no contract that someone owes you a followup email. Many times, it's better to end things instead of fakeness or platitudes.

Also, "basic manners" is ambiguous because there's no universal definition.

Regardless, there is a cost. Saying otherwise is dishonest.

I get that no answer is an answer, but OPs post was about people being rude and this was an example of that. "busy with their day jobs" is not a good excuse for not sending an email that takes 30 seconds.

I reject your implied definition of "rude."

To prove this, think about it:

there are so many MORE far worse outcomes that could've happened that would universally qualify as "rude." This isn't that.
