Best dad 🏆

I am not sure what to say about that.
That's one of the saddest things I've ever heard
"Growing up, my dad was always there for me, he would record strangers singing me happy birthday and sometimes even come home to see me!"
Wow. What a douchebag.
Probably no one there wants to be at your shitty meeting anyway. Go be with your daughter and don’t make the rest of those assholes act like they care about your bullshit. Fuck this guy.
I have missed work events to be at something that's important to my kids and I'll continue doing that. In 20 years the only ones who will remember late hours and time spent at the office are my children.
When my coworkers plan meetings at noon I tell them to have fun without me cause that's when I eat lunch. They don't do that anymore.
Right. Or Friday after 2pm. Fuck off with your work shit, some of us want to leave for the weekend.
I can't wait to meet my peers that used the grindset mindset in the retirement home. Don't worry, I don't have kids, so neither of us will have visitors. The key difference will be them tethered to their computer striving to launch one last product.
I'll be on year 40 of my retirement.
I'm a parent, just at the start of that journey really, certainly I have a lot to learn and I'm sure I'll make a lot of mistakes.
That said, it seems like quality time and shared interests is foundational. Like if you watch her ballet class every week (not playing on your phone) then I don't think she will care very much about a missed birthday and certainly not interested in a happy birthday from the team.
I doubt I'll have time to go to every ballet class but I'll sure as shit try.
It's truly heartwarming that he painted a smiley face on the front of the baby crushing machine.
This person sucks. Priorities in life wrong
Gross.
Fuck, dude. I just hope this is a satire account and some doctored image.
I work with tech bros.
They flex nonstop about how many life events they miss to be at work. It's like a badge of honor to say stupid shit like "Ah my 4 YO is in the ER but I know how important this meeting is..."
“Ah my 4 YO is in the ER but I know how important this meeting is…”
And the meeting is just some dumbass monthly progress review where section heads brag about what 'they' (their team) accomplished in the last month, with at least half of it being bullshit, exaggeration, or preemptively taking credit for what they're probably totally going to do next month. Nothing would change if the meeting was entirely cancelled and skipped.
It's all about quantity in corporate. Performative employees get further quicker compared to quiet ones that actually deliver quality output.
The comments are equally deranged
Great idea Rick. Well done!!
Very wholesome post 😊 And really great idea!
Happy 12th birthday to your daughter 🎂🎉 That’s such a lovely and thoughtful gesture—so adorable! She’ll definitely remember that one.
I hope they are satire and/or LLM generated slop.
Whenever I'm bored and I open LinkedIn, it's just a wall of slop. I don't know how anyone takes it seriously.
Ah yes, supporting the people behind by forcing you to work on your child's birthday.
I think the nanny coached the daughter's reaction.
And that nanny? Missing her own son's graduation at the same time. Doesn't matter, cuz the son missed his own graduation to cater the boss's team meeting. Full productivity
I can't miss your birthday because of work if I make your birthday part of my work.☝️
I like how he closes his post by saying Übersetzung anzeigen. It adds dramatic effect
Does that mean "show translation"?
A tweet is more elegant
