Almost all of the replies were from Meta employees, and almost all of them were hyper enthusiastic. It was almost like cult members reaffirming each other that they’re still in a high functioning group.
Now of course LinkedIn is gonna LinkedIn, but this post was cranked up to an 11.
- "it is great to be here"
- "I am inspired to let you know about.."
- "It is delightfull experience..."
- "It is such an amazing...."
- "What a great opportunity...."
" "It is my priviledge...."

My personal theory is that a lot of executives seem sold on this idea that they'll somehow hire a staff of people enthused to work there, for whom it's their dream job. People who act like that's true get ahead in those companies.
It has prebaked responses to articles to be shared. HR gave a presentation on the shilling software and I couldn’t stop laughing.
The key is that I'm basically retired. Have no desire to hire anyone. Have no desire to seek funding.
My three company values are: (1) sleep, (2) slow is smooth, and smooth is fast, (3) freedom at all costs.
I'm probably going to get banned on linked in once I start promoting things, but the goal is to just shit post on all the inspiration.
People don't be their real selves on LinkedIn. And once you know the artificiality of every post on it, you being to hate it.
Socks? Okay, cute. Socks for the rest of your family, and they already know enough about the ages of your children to send those sizes as well? Holy shit.
