Linked in is like Facebook for professional exhibitionists. I don't understand why people put themselves out there like that. I instantly judge people who post personal stuff there and would never hire someone who makes that choice. They're doing too much.

u/Raven_Thorne0 3d ago edited 2d ago
Thatās pretty sad you feel that way tbh. Corporate culture is extremely dehumanizing and LinkedIn is the worst social media (well, behind twitter) because it plays into that, just a bunch of people acting like everything is perfect and sucking themselves off constantly for everyone to see.
But some of us have hard lives. All of us have hard days. I think it shows her humanity. Sheās willing to admit her flaws. But sheās still trying. Post might be a little cringe but come on, yall are being way too reactionary to it.

u/JEWCEY 19h ago
That's not the forum for seeking pity. It's a platform for job seekers and employers. It's just not appropriate and the inability to tell the difference is enough for me to know someone may not be prepared for a professional setting. Now if someone is posting something personal that's in line with their career, that's different. I'm talking about people making Facebook type posts that are irrelevant to work and professional development and are centered entirely on their personal life in a way that is not representing a responsible person who can read the room.

Wonder how much parenting you do? Or if you just like to sit there and judge a woman working two jobs, one of which she gets absolutely no compensation or acknowledgement for.
3
u/Medical_Slide9245 2d ago
I guess you deleted your untouchable loser comment because... it proved you're a great parent? . And kids are tax deductions, which is.... drum role, compensation. Not saying it's great, but it's not nothing.
Also as far as i know every adult was a kid at some point and is capable of understanding what good parenting is from years of experience. And i can tell by the way you lash out to total strangers who disagree with you that your anger management issues don't end on Reddit.
What is so odd is you deciding this is the post to dig in my heels in. Like crazy lady on a professional forum talking about delicing her kids and feeding them old pizza for breakfast. Guess she hot a little too close to home.
-2
u/Raven_Thorne0 2d ago edited 2d ago
I definitely didnāt delete it, youāre just stupid and donāt know how use reddit I guess.
Also itās drum *roll
Tax deductions are not compensation for the work of being a caretaker. Itās a reduction in what you pay in taxes because of the money spent on raising children. And it doesnāt come anywhere close to the cost of having children. Even getting a tax refund is just getting your own money back, itās not compensation. And she earned that money working another job, not being a caretaker. The one time we did ācompensateā parents lately in the US was the checks sent to parents during Covid, which cut child poverty in half in a matter of months. Even then they didnāt come close to the cost of having kids.
Children donāt understand the struggles their parents are going through, theyāre often too young and ignorant to understand until they live through it themselves. However, most normal adults would understand her position but the chronically online losers on Reddit forums wouldnāt know anything about that. My single parent was absolutely wonderful and had so many struggles, we had some really difficult times where we werenāt sure if things were going to be okay. But she dealt with it all to take care of me and I will forever be grateful for how hard she fought to give me as good of a life as she could. Sheās still my best friend to this day.
Anger issues? Iām literally just typing lol. I think the person having empathy and going against the reactionary reddit losers seems like the more well-adjusted one. Iām actually pretty fine. I have a regular therapist I can talk things out with if need to and despite some of the difficulties in my life, I still smile at everyone irl and try to be a light in their day. People go through a lot in their lives and I feel bad for this woman that a bunch of Reddit incels are tearing her a new one just for being a human being.

u/Medical_Slide9245 2d ago
Oh boy. No compensation, simply not true. No acknowledgement, seems really unlikely. And delicing your kids is not normal. But hey if your calling that good parenting maybe look inward rather than lash out.

Lotta men here who probably canāt even get a woman to wanna be around them (let alone have kids with them) making judgements about a woman working full time and working as a caregiver.
Kids get lice. Kids get broken arms. Kids go to school in shorts when itās cold, shit half the boys in my school willingly showed up in gym shorts, a hoodie, and slides w mid-calf socks when it was 40 degrees out. Itās not fucking child abuse. Yeah the post is a little cringe but god damn can we be normal empathetic humans for one fucking second or is that just not allowed on reddit

Yeah, kids that have just been treated for nits arenāt neglected, itās the ones who get nits and donāt get treated when itās so bad everyone can see the crust of eggs on their parting and live lice crawling round and falling off their scalp that are neglected.
Broken arms can happen if you fall badly while playing. Ā A kid in my class broke his arm falling off a climbing frame at school.
Some kids are weird and will want to wear their favourite clothing or skip wearing their coat no matter what.

I agree... its not child abuse, but c'mon, 48 degrees outside and dressing your kids for a warm summer day is shoddy parenting.
Sending them to school with a broken arm? Preparing them for the real world.
Three day old pizza? I get it.... sometimes your in a hurry, plus some kids still love it.
but shorts on a really cold day? Step it up mom, I know its tough, but step it up!
again.... not child abuse!!

Who knows, maybe the kids put the shorts on themselves and wouldnāt change? Ā
Iād have put trousers in their bags and told them to change in the toilets when they got too cold to be stubborn anymore. Ā

I completely agree. I fucking hate LinkedIn because itās normally just people self-fellatiating over all their accomplishments. But sheās right, some days your best is just being there and having just enough energy to make it through the day without losing it. Sure she misspelled some words and the photo is kinda cringe but the message is wholesome, imo.
I canāt help but feel like misogyny has something to do with this being on here too. A lot of judgements being made about a womanās parenting and work life when sheās having to work two jobs. Being a caregiver is absolutely a job, and an extremely stressful one. Thereās no compensation for that, just people judging your parenting constantly and mocking you for not being enough. And donāt you dare complain or share your struggles or youāre a bad parent, apparently
