Driving off someone from being online, as a troll, because it gives you a thrill.
This is an awfully specific flex, but it is a flex nonetheless, that people do feel to boast about. Because it’s just another form of a power-trip. Congratulations, you’ve driven away someone who could’ve been a contributory member of a community to make yourself feel better by orchestrating lies, performing witch hunts and huddling with your troll buddies in ways to figure out how to process this.
There’s nothing prideful about this to flex over.
“I got a job offer because of xyz family member”.
I heard this from a guy I know and I did a double take thinking huh??? Is this really something to talk about publically?
I mean if I were them I would never openly say this out of shame/embarrassment but eh maybe it’s just me?🤷♀️🤷♂️
I had heard that a majority of jobs are acquired through networking. Being open about your network seems healthier than hiding it. Especially if it’s a case of choosing one qualified candidate from a pool of qualified candidates and not hiring a bad fit just for nepotism’s sake, but even then seems better to tell people yourself and not let it be exclusively gossip behind your back.
Yeah my work flex is never having had an in with any job I have gotten as a professional adult. Did with some part time work when young but that is the extent of that.
