Highly paid bullshit jobs are all about social perception in networks.
The point is to post something that makes it appear as if you’re already ahead of the game, and to use as many buzz words as possible so that you will appear in searches, or someone remembers you knowing something about those words.
It does not matter if the “strategy” makes any sense at all. It’s not like anyone reads it, or that anyone tries it out, or even if you know anything about it. All these posts with motivational and strategic wisdom are just “tags” for people trying to sell themselves.
The people involved in those games rely on each other to support this self-induced value.
It’s like “fake it till you make it”, with the twist that they never actually do anything. When they fail, they’ll hopefully have enough other people involved, so that they can only fail upwards.
How does sharing my thoughts and strategies with people I am competing for jobs with give me an edge over them?
(I actually do advise my peers all the time but I want to know why these idiots think that)
