Ya pass
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.
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
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.
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.

I’ve never heard it described like this but you nailed it.

I mean, what else do you have to evaluate a resume and some thinly sourced references except chicken entrails and prayer? It’s not exactly a hard science.
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 isThose that send a thankyou email fail the test and have to work for that guy.
shut the fuck up marco
On the other side…
I’m so dead sick of those “thank you for applying, you are so awesome and amazing! But we went with another guy” emails
The alternative is to not know, I don’t care if they send a nicely worded rejection over ghosting.
A lot of bitter job-hunters in this post.
I hope.youre including yourself.
I’d rather have that email than being ghosted by the company you applied at. Which happens more often than not.
What do you want to read if you were really good, but the other candidate was a touch better? Do you really want to receive a “fuck you” letter?
At least it’s something to let you know. I got down to a final 2 interview and haven’t heard anything from the company in a week even though I thought I had pretty good chances. I’d rather take a wishy washy answer over no answer at all.
I might be old school but I see nothing wrong with a little politeness, especially if it gets my foot in the door. But then again, I’m not going to continually kiss someone’s ass for what should be a mutually beneficial situation.
A lot of the people jerking their knees at these “rituals” we do have never been in the position of actually having to hire someone.
Whatever your principles and attitude might be now, if you get into a role that requires you to make good decisions on who you’re paying a ton of company money to, with your ass riding on it, you WILL adjust your ideas for how to make the best decisions.
A divorce attorney posting this. I get the feeling most of his clients are scumbags trying to get out of their responsibilities.
Capitalism is a sickness.
Someone having big ego and some kind of hierarchy is present in all systems. Such are humans
You just need to get it to work for you - narcissists are easily taken advantage of. Be crafty, do not give up to learned helplessness and this will turn into an opportunity
Give them what they want and stab them in the back later when your position is solid
You can hate someone but don’t let it make you miserable
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?
I got an in-the-mail thank you card from someone I interviewed once. We didn’t end up hiring them but it was a nice gesture. I know when I was first interviewing for jobs ~20 years ago it was common advice to send a followup / thank you.
I don’t want a follow-up email. Either you were selected for a second round, or you were not.
Pestering me about it isn’t going to help.
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”.
As an awkward fellow, having made hiring decisions twice in my life from a vast pool of three candidates each time, I hate sending rejection emails and it’s legally dangerous to engage in any sort of explanation if they ask for one. Mostly I do it so they don’t continue to follow up. At a larger company, I don’t see a way to have the time to do it unless it’s an automated system, in which case I’d advise not applying.
Oh please. I’d love to reply to that with a gif
