Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?

It's probably best to just ignore something like that. Your coworker wanted to go on the record, but without knowing why they did it there's no point in making more out of it. Perhaps they're just extra careful about looping everybody in. It may have more to do with them and their position than with you.

I usually treat moves like that calmly and professionally. Respond directly to the substance of the issue and keep everything transparent. Political signals often lose power when you stay focused on the work itself.

That has happened to me in the past. Looking back at it, i was at the point of max frustration at my previous job and i knew i had to leave which i did and I am very happy i did
I hate when people do passive aggressive things like that. I would honestly reply the way you would have had the manager not been CC'd, but make sure you reply all. Don't read too much into it.
