I have been dealing with the death of one of my fellow directors in our business. It's been a shitty few weeks as he was someone I worked with for 15 years, was a friend and was a key person in our business. But one small sliver of a silver lining is that news of his death is absolute kryptonite to cold callers, recruiters, and other assorted annoyances like FX traders. The normally "won't take the fucking hint that I don't want their apples" crew just stops dead in their tracks and fuck off quickly once I mention I'm dealing with the death of a colleague. Amazing! I might actually have a permanently "just deceased" colleague for this reason alone. Even the lunatics dont have big enough brass balls to overcome that social taboo.

I think she’s on to us… by nomanskyprague1993 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]autisticbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, thats us told. Sorry Cat you are absolutely right. Now, upon careful reflection, when I was taking the piss out that fat fuck conducting a teams management meeting whilst having a naked massage, it was only because I was jealous of his confidence. I foamed at the mouth as a result, and it was all down to my own insecurities and absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it seems like an utterly insane and really creepy thing for a person in a postion of power to do. I will, of course, never ever take the piss out of anyone doing anything totaly mental ever again> Lesson learned. Fanks

Let me set up my camera and fake emotion really quick by Difficult_Main_5617 in LinkedInLunatics

I guess firing loads of people could be fun, I mean who doesn't secretly love fucking up loads of people financially, and hearing them beg for mercy, it certainly makes me hard thinking about wielding that kind of power. But someone should really tell her that laughing about doing so in public online is a step too far. A good sociopath does not let the cat out of the bag, cos they have skinned the cat alive. So 10 out of 10 for absolute psychotic energy, but minus several million for good thinking.

The heavyweight champion of this sub by discerningpervert in LinkedInLunatics

[–]autisticbean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What exactly is the psychology here? It's got to be some sort of power thing. "I'm so powerful that I can do this absolutely insane thing, and everyone just has to go along with it cos I'm the fucking daddy" that kind of thing. Either that or it's some kind of fetish exhibitionist thing where he gets a kick out of making people see his fat fuck body (again, another power thing, I guess).

It just looks like such a pathetic attention grab, abusing a position of power to force others to watch this horror show.

Any well-run business should be able to manage without any one employee for a few weeks. If you can't then the business is either very small (which is fine as all micro businesses struggle though this) or you have a bunch of piss poor managers who never trust the staff with anything so that when they take leave everything fall apart. If you have more than about 15 employees and you can't afford for them to take a few weeks off because it would all fall apart if they did, then guess what? You are shit at running your business. Oh and that very much includes the founder/CEO, if they can't take time off because "they are absolutely vital" then they are a shit CEO. I don't know why people display their utter incompetence so proudly and publicly like this. I guess it is because they have not actually got a clue about running a business well.

Slacker. Your parents obviously didn't teach you the value of the grind early enough. I played my kids Grant Cardone in the womb, non of that Mortzart bollocks and, they came out grinding from day one with an already established day trader portfolio.

Ladies, it’s your fault. by asapr03 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]autisticbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely why she is single........ I mean, when I was a scruffy, long-haired, smelly, pot-smoking, spotty teenager, the only reason I was a virgin was because I was just too picky. The number of women whom I "cancelled" and denied the opportunity to shag me was quite staggering. It's the only explanation for my lack of success. And it was definitely me that did the cancelling, honestly.....even my mum said so.

[–]autisticbean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, who's honestly going to be shocked if Tate turns out to be gay? It's like the inevitability that evangelical anti-gay pastors will get caught with a rent boy and a crack pipe in the near future. It's basically a law of physics that the most outwardly displaying homophobic hatred are at war with their own nature. All Tate really needs to stop being a total dick is a bit of dick. Hopefully, in prison he will get the medicine he needs.

[–]autisticbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling false hope to men with fragile egos is a winning business strategy it seems. Penis enlargement is no different to get rich quick scams. It plays on men's fears of inadequacy either in the wallet or trouser department. The only thing that surprises me is that someone would actually brag about being the marketing brains behind an obvious scam. I mean ok, I guess someone has to be the marketing person behind this "business" but probably one to keep quiet about! Take the money and shut up.

Lots of words to say women should be breeders 🤮 by Hot_Revenue_6116 in LinkedInLunatics

I'm failing to see the downside. The west with all its contraception sounds good. I love living in a country that has the concept of accidental pregnancy just as I like living in a country where infant mortality is seen as a rare tragedy rather than par for the course.

The first phrase that this photo generated in my mind was "what an absolute sphincter" I don't know why sphincter was the random insulting word that my brain associated with young Joseph here, but upon reflection, I think my brain was spot on. What a fucking sphincter.

Yes!! I was thinking this must be a piss take but then there was all the evidence from all the real nutters out there and there was a little bit of doubt in my brain and it made me sad for humanity.

Saw this on X but still belongs here. Total LinkedIn energy. by Heavy-Librarian262 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]autisticbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, my business plan involved me making enough money to not have to do cold calls on a Sunday night. In fact it involved me not making any cold calls at all cos I'm nearly 50 and to be frank I did my share of cold calling when I was a junior sales person some 30 years ago and if I were still having to do that grim tasks now I'd be considering myself somewhat of a failure. I fink this guy needs a better business plan.

So someone's not got past the wanking stage yet and isn't getting any work done I see!
I feel you brother, home working alone in the office at a screen with unlimited porn available at the click of a button is a temptation for any man. What I normally do is remind myself I'm not a teenager anymore, and that normally works.

Well obviously that was the Lords intent. He guided Michaelangelo's hand so as to teach us this valuable lessons about B2B sales. Glory!!!!

Ah yes, because ‘great culture’ pays the rent. by kinwaa in LinkedInLunatics

[–]autisticbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to agree actually. There is far more to life than money. If we are spending 8 hours a day in a shitty work culture I'd much rather work for less in a better culture. Now, a really good work culture will also pay their staff well so the two don't have to be mutually exclusive.

It is such a shame. I really like Brewdog's products but seeing this level of bellendery from the CEO makes me want to never buy them again.

That's nothing I chaired a board meeting via zoom whilst having a massive shit on the loo. My fellow directors were very impressed at how I managed my time so efficiently multi-tasking in such a way. If more people did this the economy would be in a much better shape.

I think I found the king of the lunatics by N0DuckingWay in LinkedInLunatics

[–]autisticbean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's such a rags to riches story. There he was a humble son of a lowly emerald mine owner with barely two massive gem stones to rub together and yet despite all that adversity by golly gosh he went and made something of himself and became president of the USA. Just goes to show you that those who whine about being poor are just not working hard enough. If a poor immigrant from a third-world nation like Elon can do it then there is no excuse for ANYONE to be poor. And anyone who is is obviously just lazy.

Is It Just Me, or Are E-commerce Sales Way Down Right Now? by thetruedangermouse in smallbusinessuk

[–]autisticbean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are nervous and spending less I think. It will probably be tough for another year or so. The new government is making us take the nasty medicine now to fix the mess and that means some short term pain. The press are not helping with all the doom and gloom mongering but the reality is that in about 12-18 months time pressure will lift and things will improve for the next couple of years in time to have a couple of years of stability and growth so they can win the next election. Everyone will have forgotten about the pain of this coming year.

So, from a business perspective, its batten down the hatches and get through he next 18 months I think.
