Also <cough> I was working in advertising in the 1980s - and I’m only 60 😊
This is the same as an older white male asking “isn’t wanting to hire people of color or women discrimination in and of itself?” No matter who is being put forward or championed in the moment, someone else is going to feel offended or marginalized. This f*cking world...
You all understand this is for a stunt of some sort. Correct? Now whether you’d be the butt of the joke or the hero of the story, it’s only a gig that will in some way help Gary.
I think this might be a Dinner For Schmucks-type situation.
I bet it’s strictly for PR but won’t actually lead to anything. If I eventually see people updating their LinkedIn that they’re working at Vagner then I’ll be happy to be wrong. But I bet it’s just another feel good but meaningless post among the hundreds he churns out.
Pro
It redeems Gary, however Vayner recruiters have many LinkedIn posts that explicitly exclude people that have above 7-ish years of experience.
Lovely sentiment, but Gary’s agency (recruiter, not Gary himself) contacted me, liked my work a lot, then rejected me for not having enough of an online presence. They said I “wouldn’t fit in here” since I don’t have a personal hobby blog or instagram with lots of followers, whereas all of their employees did. Their actual words. Gary talks about inclusivity and being against age discrimination, but that’s just PR. He doesn’t follow it up with action.
...WOW...
They must need ideas.
Desperate for people who know how to think and write. Or a PR play so he get more views on a super cool video telling ya how good he is.
Ha I don’t care who posts it, long as people see it. 😁 👍🏽
This redeems Mr Vee.
Whoops sorry, just posted about that as well without seeing you’d already done so 🙂
❤️ this.
It is April Fools yet?
