A place to post ridiculous posts from linkedIn.com
(Full transparency.. a mod for this sub happens to work there.. but that doesn't influence his moderation or laughter at a lot of posts.)
What a happy person. Thank god I don't give a shit about any of this crap. I am a high performing woman, the difference is that I only.highly perform stuff that I care about and love doing, like social life, hobbies, sleeping and being happy.
I find this personally insulting and hate this mentality. If the company isnt footing the bill, ill keep current and progress my skills how ever I like. In my case, homelab, which while not paying someone for a fancy piece of paper, has usefull skills and real services.
Ahhhhh... People who think like this are why the Peter Principal exists...
what's standing in the way of MY ability to be content without conventional markers of accomplishment?
Great question, I'd guess it is the terror our culture and economy instills in people, and the idea that your primary worth as a person is as a financial investment.
I wonder if people are misinterpreting her post, and think you’ve highlighted the real meat here. It sounds like she’s reflecting on what’s broken with her approach that stops her from being happy without these accomplishments.
I hate my bitch husband.
... is this not supposed to be self introspection about how her implied women (anyone really) feel like they need to work harder or have clear tangible adult gold stickers to not hate themselves?
This feels like a stretch for a sub that's supposed to try to blast crazy people.
Yeah, but publically sharing her husband's "lack of accomplishments" is a tone deaf way of making her point. Some things are better saved for your therapist...
Shaming? Sounds like stretch. Her shaming is implied only through you.
That's how I read it too. She specifically wonders why she can't be content without those things.
She might’ve intentionally written it with a “had us in the first half” hook, but she’s clearly not putting him on blast and is instead asking why she can’t be more like him (my hot take from reading this one post: it’s a mix of her own personality and feeling the need to have accomplishments to combat both imposter syndrome from changing careers and the misogyny exemplified in so many of these comments). Reading comprehension is lacking for a lot of commenters on this post.
I don't know if I'd think differently of someone for it, but I'd certainly think differently of someone for posting about it on LinkedIn.
JFC what a sociopath.
None of the things she’s listed equate to actually doing a good job or being productive, it’s all just stuff for putting on a CV.
Nobody ever went to their deathbed wishing for more certifications.
Well, my grandpa sure wished he'd got his swimming cert while he drowned.
This is satire.... I hope...
She's a mentor..I doubt she's ever actually done any cybersecurity work other then read about it, and tell others how she's read about it and how to go about reading the same things she does.
I doubt she’s ever actually done any cybersecurity work
Given that she thinks this post deserved two hashtags about it, I doubt she actually knows what cybersecurity work is beyond what she needed to memorize to pass some cert exams.
I'm really sorry, but "Stacey Champagne" sounds like the stage name of a porn star. 💀
What an absolute cretin.
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.
I edited the title from Woman to Cybersecurity Founder and CEO since the focus should really be more on judging the marriage than the gender of the person judging.
Sorry.
Ugh. She sounds exhausting to be around.
What a toxic biznitch. Kick her butt to the curb and start over.
