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.

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...'.

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.

as a switch, there is nothing at all wrong with enjoying spanking or being spanked.

Thank you for this post. I'm wearing a suit btw.

A divorce attorney posting this. I get the feeling most of his clients are scumbags trying to get out of their responsibilities.

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

Those that send a thankyou email fail the test and have to work for that guy.

Thanks, Potential-Future-Boss-Man, for letting me know you're an actual piece of shit who has unclear expectations and plays games with their employees. Now I know to work quite literally anywhere else.

An interview is a business transaction being negotiated and requires equal participation from both parties. The only 'thank you' that should be exchanged for such things is a solid handshake and a polite "Good day" when the interview is over. Be respectful and sincere, but don't buy into the childish "I'm the boss and you must grovel at my feet for a penny" game that so many managers and corporate assholes love to play.

"You disgrace ~~the oval office~~ our office"

Oh my god fuck these people

If I get a pointless thank you email, I'd be worried the person will spam my inbox with useless garbage if hired. Still better than not sending emails when they serve a purpose.

Make sure to send thank you emails daily so they know how thankful you are. If you can't spam me email everyday singing my praises then how could i consider hiring you?
