It's that time of year...here's tomorrow's column from Bob Morris. Here are the first few lines so you get the idea of where this is going:
The meal was lavish. The hosts very gracious. One told me as I was leaving: “Don’t bother writing a thank-you note. You don’t have to kiss up to us.”
She was only half-joking. Sending thanks, after all, can be as self-interested as it is polite. Is there any other reason to send carefully worded thank-you letters to the same people who torture you at job interviews?
