The moral of the story is that this guys hustle was initially disputed by the more effective hustle of the robbers. But, they hadn’t anticipated his backup, harnessing the power of his dogs hustle.

He’s now updated his profile to include his new title: CEO Violent Dog Holdings.

Possibly. 🙃

Couldn't agree more, in the name of sympathy, empathy and vulnerability, LinkedIn has become the new Facebook..
And such posts get recirculated so many times!! Would like for LinkedIn to be back to being a bit more professional and not another FB..

Ridiculous, what crock. Those are blue pit bulls, the most desired and rare color. Even if he did get them at a rescue, they wouldn’t have been adopted out if they were showing aggression towards strangers - especially as pitbulls.

I didn't get 'aggressive guard dog' from the post but maybe I didn't read closely enough - I picked up more of a 'protect my human that some bad guys just hurt' thing which in my eyes is very different than the whole guard dog thing but I definitely agree with the pit bull/tough guard dog image being a damaging stereotype esp in the rescue realm

This is from years ago and someone else's story..not even a header line to say..hey this is a repost from 20 years ago from someone else but thought it was a good story to tell. And true what is happening on LinkedIn In..Yikes..Were they secretly bought out by Facebook..Meta as some have pointed out.

What would motivate someone to completely fabricate (or I guess, plagiarize) this stupid story

But it's definitely a crock

Hello,

I am currently a Health Admin Fellow at a leading healthcare system. I am in a phase during my fellowship where I will have to start searching for a role within the system in the next 3 months.

I was wondering what kind of role would be best step forward for an admin fellow.

I was offered a project coordinator role but feel I should not accept the same without looking at other options. I aim to seek out a project manager role and was wondering if this would be the wrong step forward.

Personally, I like posts like this one a lot because:
- it forces companies to admit, you were never out to “hire the best”
- long-term loyalty to a company is completely overrated
- it’s finally “cool” to have hard skills and focus on being really good at them
