And then everyone clapped.
Then those people gave him a hundred dollars. And on that hundred dollar bill? ALBERT EINSTEIN.

Like, OP do you actually believe this shit?
If some 80s gogo Reaganaunt knew “one simple trick” to put profits up 7x he’s sure as fuck not telling a single soul.
But this is the stupid shit they’d do if they had a financial incentive to push return to office, like long term investments in corporate real estate…
Are you asking The Picard Maneuver if they believe the post is genuine, if they believe the person posting to twitter is actually up 700%, or if they believe it’s a good strategy?
Because I’m 99% sure those all have the same “no” as an answer.
Based on the rest of the comment im assuming #2.
Anyone who actually thinks the poster really is up 700%, hit me up, I’ve got some bridges you might be interested in purchasing.
There is no way this is true.
Yeah. I want the name of the hedge fund. It’s not like it being secret will help; they’ve already given away the strategy. No name, no game; bullshit.
Probably written by some C level extrovert whose panties are in a twist because he doesn’t see “butts in seats.” It’s so sad to not be able to roam around your office space lording your position over the peons, boo hoo.
This is satire. Looking at ChrisJBakke’s Twitter feed, his posts are jokes. You may not like them. They may not be funny. But they’re jokes.
This one echoes a Lemmy post from a few days back:
I think we’d have a much better time on Lemmy if we chilled out. OP posts a lot of decent content, there’s no need to shoot the messenger.
Thanks. This just happens sometimes on here though, so I usually just leave it be and keep posting. It doesn’t get to me.
I’ve noticed that a significant portion of Lemmy is very literal, so occasionally jokes that rely too much on satire, sarcasm, absurdism, or meta/anti-jokes tend to fall flat.
I thought the idea of someone going to a rich area and shorting the stock of companies whose employees who are sunbathing was a funny bit, but I suppose it’s not if you think the guy is trying to give literal financial advice.
Why do you need to subscribe to 10 different streaming services? I always thought this was such a dumb take.
Because the days where if Netflix or Amazon didn’t have it, it didn’t exist are over. Once the content owners saw how much money there was to be made, they let the streaming licenses expire and built their own platforms instead so they could potentially grab a bigger piece of the pie.
But do you really need to have immediate access to everything that exists at all times? I only signup for Netflix when I want to watch a certain show, then stop my membership.
Honestly Lemmy sucks because people here are all try-hard assholes who are incapable of seeing nuance. Anytime I comment on anything I somehow end up offending some segment of the Marxist left. Which baffles me because I’m rather far left as well, but they are too caught up in trying to prove I am an idiot to realize I’m literally on their side on 99% of topics.
It’s pretty discouraging and I’ve kinda stopped wanting to interact here.
My last 6 posts were removed and I was called a Russian troll for daring to suggest that Biden’s support of the Palestinian genocide is going to cost him the election. I’ve given up on commenting and will stick to lurking going forward. As a Bernie supporter who migrated to Portland, OR after Trump won the election in 2016, it feels incredibly weird to be called an Alt-Right or Russian agitator simply for pointing out flaws in the current administration.
I think you might be spending too much time in echo chambers if you think Biden’s position on Palestine is what would cost him an election. Most people just do not care enough about this either way to let it affect their vote, regardless of how you and I feel about it.
You don’t need a lot of people to care. Just enough to swing the election.
Swing the election? Do you mean you’d vote for Trump who has a worse opinion on Palestine? I’m not sure I follow.
As someone else asked: OP, do you really believe this content?
Aside from how horrible and shortsighted this reasoning is, I also need to ask:
If a stranger asked you who you work for, would you answer?
Me? I just thought it was an obvious joke. The person who posted it is clearly not making a serious claim of more that 700% profit in a year. It’s just some light teasing.
I wonder about the assertion that these are WFHers and not a bunch of useless middle management and above types with nothing better to be doing.
Plus, BS jobs aren’t a new phenomenon. There’s no shortage of people whose jobs comprise maybe 2 hours of actual work a day, and the other 30 hours are basically just done for looks/tradition. WFH allows everyone to give the 40 hr desk-sitting tradition a five finger salute and everyone’s happy; the work gets done, and the worker doesn’t have to spend 3/4 of their time twiddling their thumbs. Plus, the business doesn’t need as large of an office.

“But we’re paying for it!!”
Have you tried not paying for it?
