I went on a date with an elite level female as a mafia boss level 40. LMAO
HAHAHAHA this is peak satire
Ken Cheng is a British comedian. He likes to take the piss out of business people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Cheng
I was about to say, this guy is glazing MBA’s way too hard for this not to be a joke.
that really is how those subhuman scum talk; my first tell was seeing women as at least hypothetically equals, and the fact the profile pic just looks like a normal guy who hasn’t been dipped in grease or made very shiny.
Is glazing throwing ropes
Yes
Dick jokes are the shit. Shakespeare Chaucer style
The only one I follow on LinkedIn.
Is that the same Ken Cheng that’s playing board games with No Rolls Barred?
I love this guys posts.
Peak lunatic satire
Truly the Ken M of LinkedIn
He is both the hero we need and the hero we deserve.
Oh fuck how could i forget the legend Ken M? Thanks haha imma go look him up again
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.
It hit me when he said 5 of my friends with MBAs, and there’s only 3 of them.
So good.
That said, who is he trying to impress?
Obviously not the people with PhDs.
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
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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
stupid workplaces that gated stuff like that
May not be working at Lowe’s much longer, but they make a point that a piece of paper isn’t a big deal. I think it’s the CFO that doesn’t have a degree?
Anyway, CEO is proud to say that a diploma on the wall isn’t a free ride. Busted my ass there for 3-months, got a promotion in the bag tomorrow. OTOH, just got a surprise interview for a tech job that pays 3x more. 🤷🏻♂️ Win either way!
Congrats!
Kind of like how the worst people in tech brag about their certifications
You should meet my brother then. He has an MBA and CPA and runs an accounting firm. He’s pretty chill and treats his workers extremely well, while taking most of the lame work for himself.
“He must not have gone to a good school for his MBA then” - people with MBAs, probably
Lol. It’s one of the better ones.
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.
3 friends is actually impressive, considering
No shortage of stupid on this planet
This is growing more apparent by the day
Medium brain aneurysm?
no it’s the basketball
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.
Twice when I’ve been out drinking have an older female sat alone all night, close to and staring at our group, then the first thing they say is “I’ll let you know I actually have 3 PhDs and 2 doctorates, and I gotta say (some random bullshit)”. Like “I don’t think that joke you told two hours ago was funny”. We just knew they would say some weird shit as soon as we saw them, the whole “I’m super smart” thing was just so much worse than expected.
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.
Lemmy users be like “Is the guy with the “I want to connect with you, emotionally :)” being serious?”
Trolling LinkedIn is really next-level.
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.
