"Lick my boots or I will not consider you for a job."

Reeks of insecurity.

Ironic that he’s a divorce lawyer, because his behaviour is exactly the sort of insane mind games that leads to failed relationships.

Real answer: I usually say thank you in person at the end of the interview. Like "Thank you for your time." Sending an email restating that would be wasting their time, no?

I recently wrapped up two lengthy interview processes (2 months for each).

Both companies were aware I was in multiple interview loops

One company was super transparent about the process, where I currently was in the process, all sorts of updates and notifications of delays etc. This loop took a long time since it was for a senior level position on a foundational team & product for the company.

The other company was playing it fast & loose. Lack of updates of where I am in the loop. Outside of the first meet & greet where I used a tool to find time on the interviewers schedule, I was chasing people to find out when the next interview step would be. After what I thought was the last "vibe check" interview with their CFO, I was told I'd hear from their HR shortly. It took 10 days and two check-in emails before I finally heard from HR and scheduled a meeting, which turned out to be more interviewing. I've yet to hear back from them, and I fully expect that they want me to chase them.

Needless to say, when the first company presented me with an offer that had everything in it I was asking for with a nice little cherry on top, I accepted the offer with very few questions or hesitation.

Treat me and my time with respect just as I will treat you and your time with respect. I have skills you need to deliver products & services and you have means of generating income from the combination of my skills and my peers to grant me an income. If you don't treat me & my time with respect, I'll go elsewhere, or even decide to become a competitor.

Dear Assface,

I'm writing to thank you. Not for the interview. For making a stupid post on a job site that you treat as social media. You are clearly deranged. I know that I don't want to work for you or with you or anywhere near you. Thank you for making that clear to me. Suck a fuck.

Best, some_guy

I actually think it's a good, no GREAT system. Because I would never do that and I wouldn't want to work for anyone who expects it.

This is actually psychotic. Do you know how many emails I get? I don't want some kiss ass in my fucking inbox. Sending me a thank you email actually shows that you don't respect my time.

I've never grovelled for a job, and I'm not starting now.

My hatred for this person is a thousand burning suns.

Whenever ai see these corporate office games I’m glad I have another reason I like my union job. None of this asskissing BS to move up. You apply for the position, if you meet/pass any qualifications and have the seniority, you get the spot. Yeah, the initial gig might need you to jump through HR’s hoops, but other than that it’s just qualifications and seniority. I suck at schmoozing and have a really hard time essentially lying to people about my motivations and feelings to jump through useless hoops to get a job, I despise sucking up to someone because they hold a position of authority.

(Yes, union jobs ABSOLUTELY have their own problems, but I’ve found the benefits of union work over time have far outweighed any benefits the corporate rat race could have.)

For i must be rewarded for even CONSIDERING hiring you

And YOU must show me the proper amount of gratitude for doing so

Self-important losers.

Thank you email? Do employers make house visits or take you out for dinner when interviewing in the US?

I have yet to see any place with a good hiring procedure, this nonsense included. People saying they work in HR should generally be looked at as if they just admitted to being in a cult, which is terrifying because it means cultists will be deciding whether you get to do the thing you do to keep from starving in the street.

Wait! How can i get the privilege to work with this smug loser?!!

so its the mind games, or "shit tests" employers like to use to see if thier egos get stroked.

Feed him to the orphan crushing machine

Is this a cultural thing? I have never sent any thank you e-mail just to say thank you after an interview. Only if we agreed that I should send them some more information after an interview I'd start this mail by saying 'Thank you for the interview. As discussed, bla bla bla...'.

The fuck? I interview people frequently. The thank-you email is nice, but definitely not required. I'd never write someone off because they didn't send me a thank-you email. Geez.

shut the fuck up marco

Just read some of his other posts. Every one is the same, what a horrible person.

Why do all these shitheads want to be my mommy and daddy as well as my employer? I bet this moron is one of those alpha MAGA types who rails against the nanny state but loves being cuckolded and spanked in literally every other context. Fucking weirdos.

There's is nothing worse in job hunting than dealing with companies with this mentality/culture.

Degrade yourself while we give you the runaround or you don't get the job! Fuck you. Hell is not enough, I cast the Locust Plague upon ye 🦗🦗🦗

I also got a hint: pass the bar exam.

It’s all part of the test I guess. No need to get angry, it’s just part of the game and we are usually not the ones setting up the rules.
Not until you succeed at the game that is
