Young woman with facial tattoos, piercings confronts TJ Maxx employees after she was denied a job

Anyone who has ever been turned down for a job has undoubtedly wondered what made them unfit for the role. Was it your appearance, your lack of abilities, or something else entirely?

After being turned down for a job at TJ Maxx, 23-year-old Ash Putnam vented her anger on TikTok, where her video went viral.

Since then, her video has received tens of thousands of comments and over seven million views. Everyone in the comments seemed to agree on one point as the tattooed twentysomething pondered how young people could obtain entry-level employment.

On her popular TikTok, Putnam described how she applied for a job at a TJ Maxx and was rejected by an automated email “a few weeks” later.

“They only sent me an automated email because they couldn’t even call me.”
