False! They all exist in a complex system of gravitational pull where all bodies, not just these two, have differing degrees of influence on each other dictated by distance and mass!
False, the barry center is currently outside the sun but will return to a point within the Sun’s surface sometime in 2027 and will then exit again sometime in 2033.
They tell us to do it in Canada too. But seriously, if you hiring me depends on me sending a mail to kiss your ass, fuck off, I take back my application.
That being said, I’ve interviewed dozens, if not hundreds, of candidates, and have received thank-you notes from a handful of them. These notes are not part of the rubric used to evaluate them for the role. They also tend to come from weaker performers, so if anything, such a note is a red flag.
Exactly this! Additionally I cannot think of a single person I’ve interviewed who hasn’t said thanks at the end of the actual interview. How big a lunatic must this guy be to be SO out of touch with reality on this one?
When I was growing up in the US in the '80s and ‘90s, our business classes did tell us it was proper send a thank-you letter a couple of days after an interview. This was, of course, in the days before email and workers’ rights got even more abysmal in the US. Not sure if this one data point helps.
I’m a hiring manager and the thank you notes I sometimes get after an interview have absolutely no sway on my opinions. Sure it’s nice, but for me personally it doesn’t matter at all. It’s just part of the “show” and I try to not care about that.
However, I do encourage people that are applying for jobs and interviewing to send the thank you. It definitely doesn’t hurt.
Downvoting you specifically for saying you’ll get downvotes for expressing a rational thought in response to a linkedinlunatic post. How dare you.
But also you’re right, bullshit tests should be called out as bullshit and employers should be shamed for pulling stupid shit like this. This is a business transaction where I’m selling you my time and skills for less than their worth so you can exploit that for a profit. You(the employer) should be fucking thanking me.
The more you beg for the job, the more it signals to a prospective employer that you need it and don’t have alternatives. That means they can string you out much easier.
I’ve been looking for work lately and getting told the same thing by the employment offices around me (job search assistance).
It feels so bizarre and pushy to email back after an application/interview. I showed up and did my part, the balls in their court now, I’m just waiting for a response. To reach out again seems like I’m leaning over their shoulder and asking ‘have you made a decision yet??? How about now, can I have a job now?’
They already know what I want, what I can offer, and how to reach me. What more do they need?
It’s not functioning as a thank you, it’s honestly just an indication that you’re willing to take an extra 5 minutes to do something when the stakes are high.
If you really want the job, how you treat that conversation might be similar to how you treat a client once you’re hired. If you don’t really want the job, or you really don’t want to send a thank you, that’s fine, but with 5 applicants to choose from, wouldn’t they opt for the candidate who put in the best/most work?
I’m not saying it isn’t annoying and transactional and a lot to ask, but as someone who’s applied for hundreds of jobs, the reason to do it still feels clear.

Why would you get downvoted in a community called LinkedIn Lunatics where we are expressly making fun of the content of the post?
I’ll probably get down voted for this opinion, but the earth is round and orbits the sun.
I’ll probably get downvoted for this opinion, but people should return their shopping carts to the corral and not poop in the street.
False! The Earth and Sun orbit the center of gravity between the two of them!
False! They all exist in a complex system of gravitational pull where all bodies, not just these two, have differing degrees of influence on each other dictated by distance and mass!
False! What you wrote is true, but it doesn’t make the comment above false!
False! Bears beat Battlestar galactica
The barycenter of the earth-sun orbit is within the surface of the sun, therefore the earth is understood to orbit the sun.
The JUPITER-Sun orbit barycenter, however, is outside the surface of the sun.
I liek spec
False, the barry center is currently outside the sun but will return to a point within the Sun’s surface sometime in 2027 and will then exit again sometime in 2033.
False!
You forgot to prefix your comment with “False!”.
Objection!
Uh. False objection!
100%. I’ve never heard of this practise - maybe it’s an American thing?

God I love society programming humans to be ok with corporate subjugation of our species.
No, it’s not.

he runs his aspect of the business as a tiny fascist dictatorship. he wants yesmen, not actual applicants

Desperation facilitates exploitation.

Their ego stroked, apparently.

It’s a race to the bottom imo, and once everyone does it, its just a chore that wastes collective effort of society
