I didn't find it cringe-anything. OP is pointing out that getting rejected from a job application is not the end and to keep pressing on. It doesn't come off as celebrating being unsuccessful. Possibly take another read.

Agreed! I don’t think it’s cringe-worthy at all. The only way it would be is if it used the feature to “celebrate an occasion”.

Ppl are struggling on the job market. I know someone who got laid off and haven’t found anything in 6 months so a lot of people could identify with this and it could bring them comfort and hope.
I think if anyone finds this cringe they should probably not be on LinkedIn to begin with…

I didn't imply you didn't work hard to get where you are. I'm simply stating that you would have gone from some type of associate and then climbed the corporate ladder to get to VP status without possible gaps of unemployment. When was the last time you were unemployed and for how long?

To be clear, my issue is not that he's posting about the job market being hard - we know it is and we've all been there.

To me, the cringe is pretending every rejection is a good thing because it's one step closer to some mythical destination. If he said something about the job market being a clusterfuck and remaining determined, I'd agree and have a lot of sympathy/understanding.

Of course, I may be wrong to call this cringe.

So, I've tried a few different positions and still hate practicing law BUT I was approached about a contract role that won't have billable hour requirements and I won't be steeped (I think) into the law firm's toxicity, so I'm wondering if it could be the closest thing to a 9 to 5 for law. Pay is hourly which seems weird, but I would have time to devote to hobbies and life generally. Has anyone been tempted by or accepted these contract opportunities, and what's your hot take?

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.
