It must be a satire or rage bait at the very least.
No, most nepo babies are really that out of touch with reality. Remember “if you’re homeless just buy a house”.
This kind of satire is a new way to farm engagement on LinkedIn, it’s not even remotely funny after the 100th post like this, but LinkedIn is the worst of all social media so it’s kinda on brand.
Satire just doesn’t exist on Lemmy, does it?
Even when it’s pointed out to you, you still argue.
Poe’s law means that it’s impossible to know for sure.
There’s a lot of loonies on linkedin.
Which also was a satire.
Yeah, and? In order to satire a thing there must be the thing or it makes no sense, right?
Well. Maybe. Too a degree for sure. The conviction need to exists. But this is also a tribal “they vs us” where its not important what they acctualy are. Even if they exists, this misrepresents them and the scale thr issue.
How often did you insult the “just buy a home” girl and wonder how she could be so dumb and out of thougch? Well she wasnt. She don’t exists. Even if nepo babies do.
Also:
If the sea level is rising just sell your beach house.
Nonsense, just waterproof it and make it a reverse aquarium!
“To who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman?!”
Yass! That’s the reply I was fishing for. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a_yz42kfIMM
"What!‽ You can’t afford a holiday skiing in the Alps!! Why don’t you just ask daddy for a bigger allowance?’
I hope this post is. My cousin made a similar post on social media about owning a house. He was ranting that the current generation was lazy and didn’t know how to budget. Everyone should easily be able to buy a house. The house he owned was bought with the money he made by selling his first house which was inherited. Some people are really just that dumb.

I did some maths yesterday, after hearing said that wages have gone down by a third every decade since 1970… meaning (if I did the maths correctly) in this coming decade wages are less than a tenth what they were in the 1970s.
A quick search just now suggests house prices are about 4 times more expensive in real terms over the same period.
So that’s fine. We just have to pull on our bootstraps over 40 times harder for better budgeting enough to buy a house.
While this is most likely rage bait this isn’t far from human self perception.
There were multiple studies on this with similar setups. Eg they’d have students play monopoly and give one of them significantly more cash to start with. Not secretly either. One would think this student would understand that this is an insane advantage but the study found that most of the participants believed that they won by playing well.
So even with the most obvious advantage humans will think that it was their own merit that lead to their success.
I love this study. I quote it a lot. Do you want to be friends?
But “(my dad)” is a dead giveaway.
I remember seeing this post somewhere else and somebody there had said it was satire.
This happens all the time though for real. So it’s safe to assume the story is 100% real, but perhaps it didn’t happen to the person who typed it.

Fair.
Inspirational
Never underestimate how tough it is to have such pressure to be the child of a multi-millionaire and their limited life options.
Marlene Engelhorn was one of the brave ones who could say no to the pressure and broke the abusive generational cycle of being rich.
Poe’s Law prevents me fathoming if that’s said in earnest.
Ah, it’s my British sarcasm mocking the post
👍
My British autism and too long time spent online among non-Brits causing me to consider it could have been meant non-sarcastically. Those people are out there.
no shortcuts
Yeah because they spawns 1m from the finish line.
What I would never understand is how these nepotism babies thinking they achieved something by themselves.
Ahh, nepotism
Hey there are no shortcuts buddy.
Spoken like a true nepo
I was the fastest sperm and came from the best testicle, I should be rewarded accordingly.
Oh, you too?
We should create a group for our special class.
What’s the un-edited version? I want to see how they try to describe how '“hard they worked”
It’s satire. It’s a bunch of typical LinkedIn nonsense (run every morning, read, do yoga, etc) then the bait and switch at the end is that their dad just gave them a multi-six-figure position at an investment firm he runs.
Not sure why they blacked out so much of the post, the original is funny enough.
It has been posted elsewhere recently unredacted and 90% of the comments could not understand that it was satire.
I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?
It wasn’t hustle culture. No 5:30am wakeups, cold showers, or productivity hacks.
What got me there was a relentless focus on impact. Every project I touched, every deck I built, every presentation I gave MOVED THE NEEDLE.
Always, I asked myself: what is the single most valuable contribution I can make to the company right now? And I did that. If people disagreed, I convinced them otherwise.
I kept this up for three years before the CEO (my dad) finally recognized my results and promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
If people disagreed, I convinced them otherwise.
Because being wrong didn’t matter. Daddy had their back.
Jesus. It’s almost exactly as I imagined it.
Is linkedin a shitposting site for people in it?
yes. Every now and then a boss o’ mine will make me post to LinkedIn about the company I’m currently working for - so I will write a David Foster Wallace style essay (previous ones include comparing business process automation platforms to different fictional orcs, or what my old mad Scottish housemate making pasta taught me about b2b sales…) until they stop asking.
You should collect them all and get an illustrator. Make a little 50 page ebook. I’d buy it.
I would too 😆
Stupid. Just have rich parents.
A few steps to success.
- work hard every day
- skip the avocado toast
- take a small loan of 3 million dollars from your parents
- sell your company before it is nothing worth anymore if you fucked up.
I’m pretty sure everyone who actually posts to linkedin is a cronyboy or nepobaby
Gotta admire the cojones of those bootstraps.
Feckin genius over here
It’s from some funny guy. I don’t know what his job is but his profile’s full of jokes.
Yeah this reads like a joke post to me, mostly because of the “(my dad)” bit where he’d be hiding that fact if he was being serious.
Nepo babies when they take the bus: THERE IS NO BUS.
Nepo baby’s: There is no spoon
Fuckin’ capitalism, eh?
