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.
Wait! How can i get the privilege to work with this smug loser?!!
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 🦗🦗🦗
Ironic that he’s a divorce lawyer, because his behaviour is exactly the sort of insane mind games that leads to failed relationships.
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.
My hatred for this person is a thousand burning suns.
I swear linked in is their spawn point
“Lick my boots or I will not consider you for a job.”
Reeks of insecurity.
Suck my dick harder and better than the others, to see if you are fit for this dick-sucking position we have available. Communicate clearly that you have no self respect or any other healthy boundary that would prevent the power dynamic I enjoy to play from ever happening.
I really fucking hate corporate and their fucking culture. And this LinkedIn buffoons, pretending to be influencers just make me want to vomit.
Yep, that a big red flag right there…
For i must be rewarded for even CONSIDERING hiring you
And YOU must show me the proper amount of gratitude for doing so
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.
Self-important losers.
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.)
I dig it. Actual merit based. Not what these turd-nuggets are saying is “merit” in the white house.
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?
Nah, these people stir air for a living. They appreciate others who also know how to stir air. Sending a pointless time wasting email is the epitome of this discipline. If you want in, you need to show them you can do it too. If you want to be an actual productive member of society, you wont do it and find a position where you don’t have to resort to such menial tasks.
You can always respond like.
“Hello,
As we discussed earlier today, you will be giving me an employee contract for $XXX,XXX
Best regards. “
Then CC as many people as possible.
…
That’s how these people work, right?
as someone who hires people, yes, it would
I guess you just got to know your audience
I won’t mark you down for it but I won’t even bother responding and it won’t influence my decision either way
What I «like» most about that situation was that he started the meeting with saying thank you
