Do people believe this is real?
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.
I want to assume it’s sarcasm, but honestly I’m not sure.
They’re a parody account
Reminds of a twitter account called the goldman scachs elevator gossip.
Ragebait.
Lemmy users be like “Is the guy with the “I want to connect with you, emotionally :)” being serious?”
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.
Removed by mod
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!
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.
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.
We can apply lean principles and create a ton of efficiency on one aspect, but we will lose on others
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.
Yeah, these fucking idiots without an MBA. Einstein, Hawking, DaVinci, etc
As if an MBA was an achievement. My wifes brother made a Harvard MBA in his free time (paid for by his employer), and considered it laughably easy. I’ve read the course books he gave me, and I agree. For someone coming from the natural sciences side of things, MBA is kindergarten level. It is amazing with how little actual knowledge people get into high business positions nowadays.
A lot of the elite business communities are entirely extended social groups. Lots of nephews. Lots of professional self-promotionists. Lots of gurus, promising to deliver quasi-spiritualist business secrets. The system they’re attached to is swimming in surplus revenue, so doing relatively simple arbitrage with a big enough line of credit can enrich these well-connected individuals quickly. And putting someone with connections to easy credit onto your board is a great way to grow your company.
MBAs get to operate at the kindergarten level because they’re playing with billions of dollars in a game that is designed to guarantee they (mostly) walk away winners.
Trump is a classic example. Lose a billion dollars, go out and find another line of credit, gamble on double or nothing, market goes up so you win it all back again. Nobody asks where this credit is coming from or why The Donald is uniquely positioned to draw on it. Elon has a similar story. He just keeps spinning the wheel and doubling down, confident that the game has a positive ROI, so he’ll always come out ahead in the end.
For people who don’t know Ken Cheng is satire and making fun of LinkedIn people.
I did not know, so I appreciate this heads up.
He is hilarious, and the comments he incites are even better.
This gotta be bait lmao
Lemmy is not beating the spectrum rumors with satire detection skills like this.
You’d be surprised at how many allistic people can’t detect satire
Yeah I was just taking the piss, the joke was clear as day to me and I’ve got one of these diagnoses myself. The “unspecified” kind, whatever the fuck that means.
Reddit was real bad at this. Lemmy is so much worse.
Would you … stand … fucking still … so I can … please, can I … can I read … can I please read the fucking TEXT?!
NPCs with their programming are insipid as fuck. Imagine being around idiots like this that never self actualised in their lives.
This guy is a satire poster mocking the type of posts you see on LinkedIn all the time loudly bragging about being sociopaths and workaholics.
Another good satire account to follow on Linkedin is Conksat. Their brave interns risk everything for their cutting edge aerospace solutions, like tactical cessna’s and extension cord powered satellites
Tactical Cessna is closer to reality than you think, when you look at some of the cheaper UAVs out there.
