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

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
