They're always Founder and CEO of a company of one person.

Who the fuck are they even trying to impress?

The title of this post is misleading. She's not blasting her husband. She's wondering why she can't be content without these things.

[–] [email protected] 162 points 3 days ago (5 children)

If you actually read the post, she's not "blasting" her husband. She's seeing him be perfectly content without chasing all those markers of career success, and questioning why she cannot do the same. She's realising that she relies on external validation to feel happy, and that that's not a good thing.

Not only that a whole lot of people here don't have reading comprehension, the level of salt and misogyny are weird and not in a good way..

That’s the kind of people who constantly change positions, switch projects, get promoted etc. The success of the projects depends on stable people like her husband.

There is a sketch in Poland about freudian slips. Two guys are talking in a bar about them, one tells a story of him dancing in a club, seeing an attractive blonde, approaching her, wanting to say "can I have this dance?" but instead saying "can I have this breast?", getting slapped and wasting his "chance". So the other, married dude goes "oh yeah I know that feel, I wanted to ask my wife to pass the salt but I thought about other things and instead I said 'you old whore you wasted 30 years of my life'".

It feels to me like the dude will have a similar freudian slip at some time of his life.

JFC what a sociopath.

Those who can, do.

Those who can't, certify.

What an absolute cretin.

I hate my bitch husband.

What I read: I require external validation instead of finding it from within.

Realistically all these achievements mean nothing when you die and are forgotten. It doesn't necessarily invalidate the work and accomplishments but I'd argue it doesn't give an individual the "higher ground" to belittle a partner on social media; they may not value it the same.

I require external validation instead of finding it from within.

I am not on LinkedIn, but from the outside this seems to be the trend there.

Psychopath behavior. This is who America rewards.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

This is who America rewards.

No, we have a system that rewards this behavior and punishes any one who wants to be decent for being a "sucker"

What a happy person. Thank god I don't give a shit about any of this crap. I am a high performing woman, the difference is that I only.highly perform stuff that I care about and love doing, like social life, hobbies, sleeping and being happy.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bitch, please. I’m here to get money. I’ll get certs and shit only if it helps me bring something home. Otherwise: fuck you, pay me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honestly? This is equally obnoxious. The grind culture people are so boring to me. Most of them have no hobbies or personalities.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Getting certificates is a pretty weird hobby

I find this personally insulting and hate this mentality. If the company isnt footing the bill, ill keep current and progress my skills how ever I like. In my case, homelab, which while not paying someone for a fancy piece of paper, has usefull skills and real services.

Ahhhhh... People who think like this are why the Peter Principal exists...

That doesn't read as much as blasting her husband as it does as blasting herself.

The lunacy part is posting this to LinkedIn rather than discussing in private with a therapist.

I don't know if I'd think differently of someone for it, but I'd certainly think differently of someone for posting about it on LinkedIn.

Nightmare blunt rotation
