#3This is pretty obviously either a troll, or slightly more likely the site making up fake letters to respond to them.

I want to say that this is absolutely troll behavior, but there's actually dingdongs who think like this - and who say things like this! - in the real world.
But yes, if I read this on reddit's r/aita subreddit, I would assume this was mid-grade fiction.

Yeah, it's a real "hire, bit not on my team" kind of situation! /s

there are many people who do behave like this , however I am not sure if anyone with this kind of behavior would write to online column seeking advice ?

I participated in a team interview a few months back with a candidate who had about 3 years of experience and an outsized opinion of his abilities. Immediately after he had clearly demonstrated that he wasn't as skilled as most people would be with three years of experience, he straight up declared himself to be a "senior software engineer". To experienced, working devs.
My team exhibited an amazing ability to avoid bursting out laughing until he left.
It's reasonably rare, but every so often you get a real gem.

#10This is clearly a made up example to illustrate intellectual arrogance and distain.
I have interviewed a person who displayed those traits. He wasn’t as rude as described here, but maybe as clueless. He aced the technical(10/10) but nobody on the interview panel wanted to work with him(0/10) He got a unanimous “no”. Probably the only time I’ve seen so many people settle on the same conclusion in an interview.
He said he’d interviewed 4 times before (I was looking at his packet so I could see he was counting phone screen and individual conversations as an interview each, one red flag among many). He asked if he hadn’t gotten the job previously due to asking about confidential information. (Packet said “not a culture fit” which is code for not hired due to personality). I just said “I assure you, that wasn’t it”. I suspect that to this day he doesn’t know why he wasn’t hired. You can’t very well come out and say “it’s because you’re a dick”
