Thankyou for saving me the bother. I usually like to check who these loonies actually work for. It's almost always advertising, a.i., or advertising with a.i.

They're creating nothing worthwhile.

I'm going to change the world by staring at Excel spreadsheets 24 hours a day. Who needs a family when you have Power Query and Pivot Tables?

LinkedIn should just be a big honey pot to get people into therapy and community service.

Fuck off. They're talking about cranking the value of a stock by a few cents by committing borderline criminal behavior like they're fucking visionaries. I am so sick of these people.

Why are people mistaking the second one (which is clearly a mockery of the original post) for an earnest post?

A parasite which leeches off of actual news sites. Truly innovation that is following the trend of the times.

You'll never remember why you stayed on at work instead of being with your children, but you'll remember what you missed

Anything truly significant demands significant sacrifice. It will cost you comfort, certainty, sleep, relationships, health and parts of who you once were.

truly significant, using AI to help the rich get richer, lol.

Yeah, I would have though this was obvious to everyone. Not even a LinkedInLunatic cares if a conference room is named after them.

But it seems plenty here are eating the onion.

children are often happiest when they see their parents fulfilled, alive and deeply engaged with their own purpose.

Your children would have to actually see you for that, which they barely will with poor work-life balance. When they finally do, you're probably too exhausted to do something with them and be angry instead because of your exhaustion.

"They become equally important, perhaps even more so."

Her kids are not necessarily more important than her job. So if she ever has to make a decision between losing her job or her kids, it would be very difficult to choose. 🙄

I know who won't be visited by her kids when she is old.

You have to remember a lot of investors are explicitly looking for human sacrifice believing it will help them get wealthier.

It helps put this post in context.
