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

Stories on LinkedIn be like
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.

I think it’s the latter.

Understood. Thanks for taking the time here. I promise I wasn’t trolling. I know it sounded like it, but I genuinely misunderstood.
