I’m an internal process/improvement researcher and I also implement new change. When change is completed I post to an internal website.
When other managers/supervisors from other departments email and ask tons of questions and I answer in great lengths. A lot of their emails are complaining emails however, I have senior leadership I take direction from. Should that person send an email back saying, Thank You!?
I’m highly offended when I spend such great detail and time without a Thank You!

Saying thanks is a welcome gesture to anyone. However, in the course of your duties, you should not expect a thank you for each question answered if your main functions/duties are to answer the questions asked. Many times it may not be that the managers/supervisors do not appreciate what you have done, but they may be so busy with other things that it is an effort to sit down and respond to individual questions.
What i would suggest is that you do not expect a thank you, that way, if it is not forthcoming you will not be disappointed.
I would still like you to know i agree with you but wanted you to look at it from another angle.

I would thank anyone that took the time to answer anything I had with a researched answer. If someone sent me a response with a simple one lined answer, then no I would not send a thank you. However, you are stating that you give long detailed, researched answers. Then you do in fact have every right to be offended. It is sad that people these days are so inconsiderate of other peoples hard work to help them out and they completely dis-regaurd your efforts. Well can't say thanks, but I can say "Have a great day & keep up the hard work".

Many people don't send "thank you" e-mails or other non-essentials because it can jam your e-mail server. Forwarding chain mails and jokes to the general population are also no-nos.
If it bothers you, joking suggest that they'll owe you a coffee or a lunch when you reply to let them know you'd like to be appreciated now and again.

Nothing i hate more than a bunch of morons going back and forward saying thank you and copying the world....
... do your job... if you're not thanked in your review then move on.
