The owner of the restaurant franchise I work for is notorious for not caring about his employees and he just did something hilarious

I'm a delivery driver. This man pays us the minimum wage ($7.25/hr) and only $4/hr on the road which is most of the time we're working. The employees are always pouring sweat because we have to work in a tiny location that was never intended to be a restaurant, with a pizza oven and he refuses to turn on the AC. We only get 1 uniform shirt, I've never worked at a restaurant that only gives you one shirt and no, even if you ask for another you're not allowed to have one. The only person allowed to be full time is the general manager because the owner doesn't want to have to give people insurance benefits or pay overtime. So now that you know that the dude is your typical “Employees are just numbers on a spreadsheet, not people” type, let me tell you what he just did that…

So now that you know that the dude is your typical “Employees are just numbers on a spreadsheet, not people” type, let me tell you what he just did that had me in tears laughing. So for context, we've had a large reduction in our delivery team for various reasons and I just got a message on Indeed from my employer, offering me a job interview to come work for him as a delivery driver. The fact that he can't recognize the name and resume of one of his own employees that is currently working for him is absolutely insane. I had half a mind to message him back and tell him I already work for him but I don't want to risk upsetting him somehow.
