I may be giving LinkedIn cringeposters too much credit… but I feel like their cringe posts typically have a “so what”. A really dumb, self congratulatory, faux-introspective “so what”, but a “so what” nonetheless.

I can’t figure out the point of this post though. No uplifting quote. No call to reevaluate why we should be offering jobs to people, on the spot, who skip interviews. No “I’m happy to announce that I’ll be joining the best MBBD firm in the world: Deloitte.”

This post is just “My kid is smart AF.” I don’t get it. Why isn’t he trying to monetize his cringe like the rest of LinkedIn. Why not explain how, as a board certified coach, you coached your 4y/o son to coach you coaching him? Or offer to have your son review people’s resumes? Why not explain that your son is creating a better Mensa, and you have to be a stray dog or a CEO to even qualify?

What is the point of #CringeLyfe if you aren’t selling something?

Deloitte 1, you here? See? You give people too much credit thinking it’s all satire. People are idiots, it’s a fact, and now I hate this guy and his genius son.

Again, post cringe not satire. This is clearly sarcasm, right? Or do I give my fellow humans too much benefit of doubt. 🤔

So to be clear - this particular example is a woman, but there are certainly many equally similar posts from men, so Im not sharing this to throw shade at a specific gender. But these posts totally puzzle me in the pattern they follow, which is: yeah, kinda crappy "lost my job, things sucked" scenario (most all of us have been there!) leads to self described, full emotional bottoming out (most healthy adults dont react that way!) leads to nebulous, self actualization declaration of...
