It's easy

  Look, if I were in a privileged position in life, you can bet I’d also do whatever I could to make the same true for my daughters. 100%. I care for them and want them to be prosperous, and if they have kids I’d like them to be in a good position too.

  But what really fucks me off is when these people who’ve benefitted from that then go on to act like they’re self-made and didn’t get the help.

  Just own it. Say “yeah, my family runs a businesses, and because of that I’m in this good position. I’m really thankful of my parents for doing that for me, I’ve been really fortunate, and I work hard every day in order to show my appreciation for the opportunities that have been made available to me.”

  I’d respect the hell out of that, even though there’s still the degree of nepotism there.

    Honestly you don’t need your family to be rich. A family well-off enough to give you:

    • Good financial education
    • Doesn’t kick you out at 18 or require rent
    • Pays your tuition (maybe not in the US)
    • Supporting in your endeavors
    • Family loans (not having to pay interest is massive)

    Makes a HUGE difference.

    My family ran a business…into the ground, because my father could not sit still, and went off to do whatever work.

    Claims he is perfectly healthy, is outraged when I mention ADHD.

  It have to 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.

    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.

      or entitled. i have relatives like this and incredibly entitled is how i’d describe them.

    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.

  • GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s satire. It’s a bunch of typical LinkedIn nonsense 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.

  Is linkedin a shitposting site for people in it?

  source

  • funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    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.

    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.

    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.
