Clearly things went your way if you didn't get the job in that environment.

Interesting, when I worked at Bloomberg we had a standard form letter for rejections that was sent every time. (Email)
Funny story about that, I'd set up a macro to fire off said email with one keypress. Finishing up a phone screen that went horribly, I thanked him for his time and all the other niceties, and pressed the key right as I was about to hang up.
"But wait! I have some questions for you, too!"
Cue the longest 5 minutes of my life.

Couldn't you just say the same thing over the phone? Or do you need to keep the mask on during the call? As if the rejection is only possible in the next turn.

24-year-old me didn't create the process, I just followed it. Well except for the part about waiting until the call is really over ;)
After reading some of the comments here about candidates who want to debate the interviewer's decision, it seems to make sense.
The only reason I called was because they stiffed my the reimbursement for travel expenses which they had agreed to pay for. The HR turnover was so high that everyone I had talked to before the interview was gone by the time I put in for the reimbursement.
