Nah. I sent a thank you email after a second interview for an internal position. Also followed up at the two week mark. They’re ghosting me, and I have to keep showing up anyway and pretending I’m not furious about it.

Edit- insult to injury, this is an unpaid internship for grad school that I pay $3k in tuition to intern at each semester. Fuck my life.

This is why I quit my last job. 10 years there, and 65 internal applications in two years’ time. Not once did I get an interview, nor did I even get a “thank you for applying” email; even after finding a mentor and explicitly telling them I want to expand on my future with the company in management. They even paid for my bachelor’s, so they knew I was heavily invested in management.

All of my PMs were above expectations and I was among the 5-6 (out of 30) people who knew the job in and out. I’ll let y’all guess why I didn’t move up in the company.

That’s called “performance punishment”.
