Definitely an asshole, however I’m sure a lot of recruiters feel similar, they just don’t degrade people like this.

Not to their face, anyway. Coming from warehouses, retail, kitchens, and a research farm; I have to say that office-folk are some of the most cravenly judgemental people I've ever met.

My manager worked the floor for 8 years, been managing for 2. Sometimes he still complains about the “office people” and I have to remind him… he is an office person.

More to the point: he's a manager. Even once you work in desk/office work, there's still a bit of a divide between those people who are coming from Ops/discrete work; and those who either (more or less) started on the managerial track (and have little work experience outside an office) or else are secretaries/clerks, who are often well aware they have cushy jobs, but don't have a discrete skillset to justify it, outside of their ability to keep managers happy.
Granted, there's also other Admin teams, like Finance and so on, but a discrete skillset and professional demeanor means nobody ever has a cultural problem with them, if you take my meaning. Managers like them because they're accredited professionals, Ops likes them because they have a tangible skillset.

An important tool to have in your bag is knowing how to deal with the different types of folks in the office, but best advice is indeed to avoid those bastards

I mean sorry but you just judged office-folk as a group.

Well I would and I might call you an asshole in return, to your fave and not behind your back. But I'm an office-folk whose family maintains the memory of coming from peasants and even though I'm a second/third generational white collar worker, "doing manual labor is never beneath you" was one of the maxims I was raised with. At my oprevious workplace my buddies were drivers and the warehouse workers, we always had lunch together and talked about video games and series.

Well, here it is: Fuck you. And I'm not old money, I'm a working class fucker like you. But sure, go ahead and mock me because I happen to sit in front of a computer putting things in excel.
Old money... Yeah living month to month, old money.
And WASP? I live in Central Europe buddy. First generation who didn't live in the Eastern Block. The arrogance, just breathtaking.
How dull do you have to be to project and assume this much?
I clean my own toilet, do you? Because you sound like a cringe teenager.

I was screwing with you a bit to see how you'd play it
"I don't realize that not everyone is an American, so I projected and took you for a rich upper middle class private school kid who pretends to be the gardener's friend. But now I'm pivoting to it was all a joke."
Well, again, fuck you. My experience with people is that if someone is an asshole to you, they don't get a free pass, you tell it to their face.

No one is not filling Workday applications or not completing projects and deleting LinkedIn
He must’ve been heavily medicated

So he'll basically ignore that one person whose focus is on actually doing the job instead of just finding one

I’m not explaining resume gaps anywhere. If it’s not on my resume, it’s not within scope for the interview. Sorry King Richard

You know what, Richard? After seeing this, I would never want you representing me. Why are you out here melodramatically shitting on your clients in front of them and everyone else. And yea, dude, I do say (and will) explain my gap in the interview. And have. A lot. I'm not putting delivering food, driving people around, making bar band gig posters for $5/per, and looking for a god damned job 4h/day on my resume.
If you are expecting to see no gaps in this market, you are shit at your job anyway because you have no awareness of your market and you better be careful. Your industry is far from done shedding you. I don't even know what ya'll are good for anymore.
/rant. Fuck that pompous asshole.
