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.
Good point.
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.
