It can’t possibly be a strawman argument, it’s not even an argument at all

Straw man fallacy then?

The word you’re trying to shoehorn strawman into is “sardonic”.

I read it…
Meaning, there are actually stories just like this one. Right? Or are they being pedantic in their likeness? (I hope the latter…)

Exaggeration is being used for comedic effect.

No, I got that part. Sorry. I don’t think I’m explaining myself properly. Has a similar story been posted with the same “I’m an awesome manager” pretense that they’re specifically making fun of, or is the post making fun of the types of posts on LinkedIn in general? I think, if I’m understanding the responses here correctly, it’s the latter and I just took it too literally.

no the “xyz be like” phrasing implies means it’s parody
