Anyone else hate it when managers and seniors say “thank you”? I’m only doing it because I have to, it’s not like I’m doing you a favor.

What a dumb post. Someone can literally post the same thing instead it can say "anybody else annoyed when your seniors and managers don't say thank you"? Chill

I am going to take this to heart. Next time my staff does something, I’ll reply with “I’m happy you finally did your job.”

Would that work better for you?

I say thank you because I'm truly appreciative because while it's your job you're helping me get the job done. I'd rather be the one saying thank you than the prick demanding more and more until you throw up your hands and quit.

What should they say? They asked you to do something, you did it. They say thank you. Nothing to get bent out of shape about.

Next time they say “thank you” go ahead and tell them you only did it because you have to. They’ll appreciate the honesty.

I intentionally say "thank you" when (1) someone recognizes that I don't have capacity to do something and offers to help or (2) actually puts in enough effort that I don't have to rewrite the whole workpaper... having a "because i have to" attitude probably puts you in neither bucket which makes sense since you obviously don't get thanked often.....

“Thank you” in lieu of “I appreciate you taking pride in your workpaper and doing a good job and not just rolling numbers and updating dates while CY looks nothing like PY, thereby saving me time leaving an extensive RN that you will perceive as me being shitty and you telling all the other staff how much time I waste leaving RNs and not just fixing it myself”, so yes, thank you.
