While this person definitely sounds like a giant douche, it is in fact best practice to send a thank you email after an interview.
LOL fuck that. We each shared our precious time. I will thank you for yours at the end of each session.
Actually, this did remind me of the time that a recruiter gave me a thank-you gift at the end of an interview. He was very respectful of my time.

The interviewee is getting an opportunity. There’s a clear imbalance of power, but it’s not wholly exploitative.
That being said, I do remind my interviewees to not worry about my time during the interview, because I’m getting paid to be there, and it’s more fun than a meeting.

Yes, thank your masters for considering you for further exploitation
This is normal
This is good
🙄
You know, you don’t HAVE to get a job.
Do you have a good relationship with your parents?
Do you have any older, wealthier people in your neighborhood who expressed that you’re attractive?
Do you or your family have paid-off land that can be worked for sustenance?
There are TONS of options other than working!
Yeah, it’s unfortunately good advice. Hearing it from a hiring manager in a “dance my puppet” way just makes me want to vomit though.
The asshat in OP’s image isn’t representational of people who hire people in the average, every-day world.
In reality, most hiring is done by mid-level managers who have to interview dozens of people a week on top of doing their own work, and it’s tiring and you don’t get paid extra for it, and if you pick the wrong candidate your own ass is canned.
Yah, it really does help your chances if you show even a shred of actual desire to work there.
Not in software development. Maybe in other career paths though.
I’ve hired (low) dozens of people in public sector environments, and neither myself nor anyone on my hiring panels has ever cared if we receive a post-interview thank you. Maybe private sector is different, but I’d just as soon not have you clog up my inbox with thanks or make a post-interview pitch about your skills/excitement.
If you say thanks in the room, we’re square. Likewise, I always thank people for their interest and time in the role.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t, I wouldn’t want to work for anyone who expects one and I’m glad that me not sending one cements that. I also don’t do cover letters. A resume is already a summary of the exact information you’re asking for in the application (and going to make me repeat as if you never had a chance to see it beforehand in the interview); a cover letter is just another step, summarizing the resume. If you can’t take the time to even look through my resume, don’t bother, you’re probably too “high speed” for me in your “fast paced work environment” and I’m not looking to “wear multiple hats” to earn your paycheck for you.
To increase your chances send an additional email offering to wash your interviewer car for free. /s
Just no.
Say ‘thank you for your time’ when leaving the interview.
if a thank you email is the difference between being hired and not, you are a cog
keep your resume up to date
Grovel at their feet from the beginning to show they can walk all over you in the future.
It’s so weird tbh. It’s a mutual need, they want people I want a job — why don’t I ever get an email thanking me for my time?
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten the hiring manager’s email address on any of the interviews I’ve done throughout my career, as communication is usually with the HR recruiter for the entire hiring process.
This. It’s time consuming and it sucks, but it makes you stand out. Job hunting is truly half skills, half theatrics after all
Lol half? I’d say about a 20-80 split.
Throw in an extra 30-50% of networking/connections.
“You disgrace
the oval officeour office”I also got a hint: pass the bar exam.
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

What I «like» most about that situation was that he started the meeting with saying thank 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.
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 email? Do employers make house visits or take you out for dinner when interviewing in the US?
It is as far as I know that is the case.
It is cultural dependent. In South Korea and Japan, you are expected to go for drinks with your boss.
Typically you aren’t going out with a company for a primary interview unless they really wanted you
Not these days. In contemporary Japan at many companies, expecting employees to go for drinks with the boss is a kind of specifically noted harassment.
It’s been largely phased out in Korea as well.
I’ve never grovelled for a job, and I’m not starting now.
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?!!
Feed him to the orphan crushing machine
It’s the orphans turn to crush
