I'm glad this guy posted this, so his kid can show it to their therapist later in life.

"Usually, but I always made sure your mom finished too. Make sure anyone you date will do the same for you, sweetie."
It's not about the race, it's about getting to the finish line together
I've always thought it to be important my partner comes first, I come second or not at all and that's just fine with me.
I've cropped out the rest of the post cause it's boring but here it is if you wanna read it
The circlejerking going on in the comments is so unbearable
Classic LinkedIn, I read a post and roll my eyes the whole time, then the comments are like "well said my good sir! Your business wisdom will change the world, one CV at a time! I'll apply this and become an even better pawn to my corporate overlords, yes!"
I got lost in time scrolling thru in disbelief the other day. So many "let me post this emoji ridden post about how this very mundane life experience reminded me of how important it is to maximize shareholder profit. The post will be at least seven paragrapgs and contain many emojis because i am hip 🤪🤪 and here are some hashtags that no one will sort on because i dont know what the fuck hashtags really are for so they are crazy specific" followed by all those comments you mentioned: "wow truly inspiring deeply inhales ops farts you are truly an inspiring business leader, here is a vaguely related anecdote so people can respond to this post as if i had anything of value to contribute and tell me my linkedin worth for all to see" written by some dude with "business value accelerator | working dad | ex-mckinsey" as his title under his name. Fuck off will you?
"I'll apply this and become an even better pawn to my corporate overlords, yes!"
You've just delightfully summarized 90% of LinkedIn comments.
Surprised it didn’t start with wear sunscreen
"Papa, did you ever come first?"
"Well you're here talking to me aren't you sweetheart?"
I came first in a middle school science fair by blowing up bottles with dry ice
What does that second paragraph even mean? :(
Lots of circle jerking in the rest of the post that OP linked. Reminds me of the sub r/indianpeoplelinkedin (which was just a subset of LinkedIn lunatics basically) back when it used to be active ( dunno now since many smaller communities have closed down).
Also, for some weird reason, LinkedIn won't let me read the rest of the post despite me being logged in on the mobile site. It won't scroll down and just says works better in the app. Dunno if they hate Firefox or mobile users in general. I had to toggle desktop version of the site to get it to load.
What are engg days? Sounds Hortiflying!
It's the yearly holiday where 'eggs' realize that they are trans/non-binary!
