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...'.

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

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

I'd also appreciate if employers would just inform you that you were not picked. So many just ghost you so you wait and wait and eventually just give up and look elsewhere.

Like, how hard is it to send a mail "You are not the chosen one".

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

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.

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

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

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?

Thank you emails are good. The real question is, should you space it out. Like a day or two after the interview? Because sending one right after does zero IMO. You need to keep yourself on their minds and as we all do....we forget.

So keep yourself in their minds and give it a day or two after the interview
