They’re always Founder and CEO of a company of one person.
Who the fuck are they even trying to impress?
Other “grindset” dipshits who confuse overworking and meaningless awards/titles with a personality.
“Cybersecurity Founder”
“Founder @ Hacker in Heels”
Yikes
And CEO !
How did I miss that? Edited, thanks
The board meetings must be a riot 🤣
The board meeting: the hacker in heels having a conversation while facing a mirror.
The answer is patriarchy and if you think this is her trashing him instead society pressuring her, then check your privilege.
You used the bad p words: patriarchy and privilege. How dare you?!
Correct. Sadly, conversations about gender inequality is beyond the grasp of most on Lemmy.
Is it blasting though when she then turns it against herself? She’s actually asking what it is that makes her need outside validation to feel good.
How do you DO that?
I don’t need validation from other people to be happy. Hope this helped.
This is LinkedInLunatics. I think she deserves to be Queen here.
“How dare you be satisfied with your lot and content with who you are???”
Exactly. His natural predisposition is to be happy and hers is to be miserable. Sadly, her miserable is probably stomping out his happy
What a beyotch
Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, certify.
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.
She lives to work
He works to live
Tune in for the next season of Never Happy
Or she grew up in a society where women have to overachieve in order to get the same recognition as men and now she struggles with a need for external validation like many other women.
I think I just learned how to understand my wife a little better.
This must be doubly as true for sectors like IT.
Could you go a year without a single new certification, interview, award, promotion, and be OK with yourself for it?
No but I have ADHD and collect knowledge like trading cards in an attempt to appease the screaming boredom. Wonder what got her all twisted up?
Lol I have ADHD and Im the same. Love learning something new even when it has no real use to me.
Probably needs a dicking down
JFC what a sociopath.
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.
Yeah she doesn’t speak bad about him for it. She does pose the question at the end to others if it would change their views of people they knew if they didn’t want those types of accomplishments though. She doesn’t answer if it does herself necessarily, so there is not really any clear answer. It’s pointless to analyse.
These people in the comments are so fragile.
It’s the literal definition of a humblebrag though. Or at the very least, worded in a bait-ey way to try and get attention from appearing to be controversial. If you strip away the style and fluff from the post, then yes you can read it in the way you’re saying. But that controversial-ness is clearly intentional.
At the most charitable, it’s a failed attempt at humor. The less charitable read is that the second half of the post is just providing some plausible deniability to her being yet another insufferable Linkedin self-promoter.
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…
people misinterpret something
must be misogyny?
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.
