No? I think the other question is what the community is for? I think it's appropriate based off the community description, although I don't remember the last time I have seen a post that wasn't obviously satire.
Ragebait.
Lemmy users be like "Is the guy with the "I want to connect with you, emotionally :)" being serious?"
Trolling LinkedIn is really next-level.
ITT: Commenters so eager to shit on people they miss the most obvious satire.
As someone who grew up in Ireland, we are sarcastic cunts. Hence, I always read everything as satire.
No you don’t.
Clever bait
Commenters so eager to shit on people
To be fair, that’s the only purpose of this community. But the post is brilliant 😄
Ken Cheng is a British comedian. He likes to take the piss out of business people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Cheng
Is that the same Ken Cheng that's playing board games with No Rolls Barred?
The only one I follow on LinkedIn.
I was about to say, this guy is glazing MBA's way too hard for this not to be a joke.
that really is how those subhuman scum talk; my first tell was seeing women as at least hypothetically equals, and the fact the profile pic just looks like a normal guy who hasn't been dipped in grease or made very shiny.
Is glazing throwing ropes
Yes
Dick jokes are the shit. Shakespeare Chaucer style
Just to be sure: This is a meme, right?
As in, not serious?
It's a picture with words on it. Of course it's a meme!
Hey, a fellow smartypants, hi, welcome. :)
Honestly the pacing to me, the final punchline, etc. all scream that it's intentional satire. That and the "I want to connect with you emotionally :)" cemented it for me
He's a professional comedian. He realized that linked in is actually social media that people hate and have to actively use.
I'm convinced its an elaborate joke, yea.
Kinda gives Ken M vibes.
This is a guy on LinkedIn who has made minor internet celebrity out of posting cringe. He makes regular appearances on LinkedInLunatics. Not entirely sure if he's a deranged business geek or a Dril still hoax account. But he baits enough people for it to be a moot point. Dude is definitely channeling a vibe.
Thank you, I'm actually happy to hear this :) the alternative would have shaken my trust in humanity even more.
She dodged a bullet
It’s a joke
You got hit with a troll, that's a comedian
The best comedy is exaggerating real life... but is he really exaggerating?
He's telling a story of fiction, op is misrepresenting it to virtue signal at the expense of others
I went to business school and was in classes with people from a bunch of different business majors.
Most people are book smart and can pass a test, but are otherwise stupid.
I also regularly meet different C-suite executives for work. Again, most are only good at one or two things. Efficiency isn't one of them.
At the end of the day efficiency is math. And I once decided to be lazy and for a technical elective take the business version of a class I'd already taken the engineering version of. I didn't expect the math to be at the same level, business bachelor's don't need stats 2 and calc 2, both of which came up in the engineering version. But when there were groans at finding a basic slope and arithmetic I knew I didn't belong there. I should've taken circuits 2 instead, it would've at least not bored the hell out of me
Efficiency is math, but often it's more than that depending on how it's used. For example, I work in health care. We can apply lean principles and create a ton of efficiency on one aspect, but we will lose on others, like patient care, re-admissions, and quality. Math is correct, but it's not everything. This is literally my job and I'm lean 6 sigma certified.
Also, for my business degree I took stats 2 and operational supply processing which was just stats 2 with application. So I'd say it depends on the school and degree. Didn't need Calc 2, but I also took both a Calc with applied geometry and a business Calc. Business Calc was a joke.

The math can still handle your problems.
You have to consider all dimensions simultaneously when optimising. The problem then becomes one of judgement. How important is patient care vs quality vs re-admissions. Which should have the larger relative weight?
That's not how it works in healthcare FYI. Bad patient care means people die, Bad quality means there are complications or infections, Re-admissions means the hospital doesn't get paid on the follow up visit.
I'm not trying to argue, I'm letting you know something that I'm an expert in. Math can literally create better healthcare, but there is always the human and clinical element and that can't always be quantified.
Yeah. What the math ends up doing is putting a $ value on lives. Which execs always do but never admit to doing.
