Associate,
Yes, you are being ridiculous. This is a completely reasonable and normal email sign off.
Thank you,
AA
I have ended every professional email I’ve ever sent with:
Thanks,
I don’t see a reason to use any other sign off.
I used to care. Now I just say thanks twice anyway. One less thing to think about and it literally doesn’t matter.
Coach
You’re putting way too much thought into this. Thank you
Coach
No, but there are some people who clearly put “Thanks,” or “Thank you,” in their email signature (which you can tell because it doesn’t make sense in context or they will sometimes manually add a different sign off so it becomes a double sign off).
I don’t think these people are passive-aggressive but I do judge them for obviously lacking social/communication skills because (a) if they had those I wouldn’t be able to tell about the signature and (b) I strongly suspect that it’s automatically in there because they kept sending emails that made them sound like a weirdo and someone told them “hey if you have trouble remembering to thank people just put it in your signature.”

I also perceive « thank you » at the end of an email as passive agressive because it essentially means « just do what I’m asking for. »
Interesting. I've genuinely never thought about this before. I've always thought of it as "thank you [for your time]" if anything at all.
I'm really worried I am missing social cues/unintentionally being passive aggressive. I sign off with thank you to mean like "thanks for taking the time to read this"
Not as passive aggressive as some emails that begin with “thank you”
