I went on a date with an elite level female as a mafia boss level 40. LMAO
HAHAHAHA this is peak satire
I love this guys posts.
Peak lunatic satire
Truly the Ken M of LinkedIn
Oh fuck how could i forget the legend Ken M? Thanks haha imma go look him up again
He is both the hero we need and the hero we deserve.
Thank goodness, I was hoping this was satire.
Oh yeah, Ken fools a lot of people. He’s maybe even inspired the actual lunatics, wouldn’t be shocked.
So good.
That said, who is he trying to impress?
Can comedy not exist on its own? The meta-irony of a dude making fun of the “our existence is only for generating shareholder value” is pretty funny in the context of “yeah but who’s he generating value for?” question
Obviously not the people with PhDs.
For people who don't know Ken Cheng is satire and making fun of LinkedIn people.
He is hilarious, and the comments he incites are even better.
I did not know, so I appreciate this heads up.
Ken Cheng is a British comedian. He likes to take the piss out of business people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Cheng
The only one I follow on LinkedIn.
Is that the same Ken Cheng that's playing board games with No Rolls Barred?
I’ve never met anyone with an MBA who wasn’t a moron.
Maybe the non-morons don't make a point of telling you they have an MBA.
Yep. I know a few people who got their workplace to pay for it. It was an incredibly easy way for them to pad their resume and ensure higher pay ranges at stupid workplaces that gated stuff like that.
Only came up when we were talking about schooling (I was still finishing mine).
Everyone that made a big deal of it though, complete morons.
Kind of like how the worst people in tech brag about their certifications
Yeah, usually, what's perceived as intelligent by most is some of the theoretical reasoning, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and analytic-logical thinking that you learn and practice in higher education. But somehow, those with business degrees never have any of those qualities. I do wonder what they're being taught instead.

Line go up.
ITT: Commenters so eager to shit on people they miss the most obvious satire.
This guy spent the whole date creticing the restaurant we were in. Not once did he mention that satern was visible, or that the JWSt is scanning the Orion cluster looking for new young planets. Brought up the moon and he mentioned mineing rights and opertinitys to Frack the moon. Only thing he was exited about space was Elon and his polluting starlink WiFi adapters that have destroyed the night sky.
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.
They're less funny to me when they're intentional/satire.
Indeed, for me, it was the astrophysics PhD. Reading it hurt me physically, besides killing his joke at the spot.
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.
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.
Good point.
Just to be sure: This is a meme, right?
As in, not serious?
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.
Thank you, I'm actually happy to hear this :) the alternative would have shaken my trust in humanity even more.
I'm convinced its an elaborate joke, yea.
Kinda gives Ken M vibes.
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
It's a picture with words on it. Of course it's a meme!
Hey, a fellow smartypants, hi, welcome. :)
3 friends is actually impressive, considering
No shortage of stupid on this planet
This is growing more apparent by the day
People that actually think this way probably do have binders full of "elite-level females".
OMG, I had forgotten about the "binders full of" comment. Good ol' Mitt.
That used to disqualify a political candidate. Not holding a country's congressionally-approved support funds hostage for political reasons, rape (literally clarified as such by a judge in open court), taking part in a violent failed coup, participating in a fake elector scheme to steal an election, using campaign funds to illegally pay off a pornstar he banged while his wife was home with his newborn, violations of the emoluments clause, asking a governor to "find him more votes" to overturn an open and fair election, repeatedly walking in on teen contestant dressing rooms while they were changing, illegally seizing classified documents, storing them unsecured and refusing to give them back, credibly being accused of being a Russian asset, gassing peaceful protestors at a church for a photo op, lying with every breath, etc...
Wow, haha.
Medium brain aneurysm?
no it's the basketball
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
That's a good cake parody. Also super cool that the ren and stimpy animator did this video for Al
New MBA drop: a bootcamp to deal with the twelve types of MBA nerds!
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.
This almost feels like a greentext
Ragebait.
