If an applicant doesn't send a thank you email we usually don't invite them to the next round - too many talented individuals to pick from so every bit to show you actually want the job helps

If that is the case they prob wouldn’t have picked me for an offer anyway.

How are you not going to send a thank you for any internal or external interview? It’s so simple. Takes all of 5-10 minutes. There is literally no downside unless you write something dumb. By not writing one you immediately reduce your standing in the applicant pool.

It’s really not laziness and even if it is it has worked for me so you keep putting effort into external emails, I won’t, and I’ll still seal the deal. Good luck buddy.

I did case interviews. Interviewers are volunteers, not hiring managers, they don’t even know which team intends to hire me. So I haven’t been writing thank you letters 😅

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
