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.
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?
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.
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.

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.
as a switch, there is nothing at all wrong with enjoying spanking or being spanked.

I also got a hint: pass the bar exam.
I would think there are very, very few interviews where the interviewee doesn't verbally thank them both at the beginning and end of the interview. Needing more than that is just narcissism.

Why should I be sending a thank you email? You should be sending me one for showing up and staying if this is how you act. I am giving you my time during the interview that you are paid to be at.
I get it’s polite but you should be the one reaching out first.

A divorce attorney posting this. I get the feeling most of his clients are scumbags trying to get out of their responsibilities.
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".

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 is
