“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.
Ironic that he’s a divorce lawyer, because his behaviour is exactly the sort of insane mind games that leads to failed relationships.
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.
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.
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.
