    Fair enough. My lunatics I see are always a little more just… Broken rather than businessy.

      see, at least that gives a “can-do” chipper attitude employers want to see at the end with:

      I wouldn’t have it any other way though

      (just in case anyone thought he was complaining about the lack of good boundaries in his job)

        Oh. God I think I just got it. Its a terrifying place of people wearing masks to pretend to be the good workers companies want only and this community is supposed to be more for pushing into the gaps in their armor. Where someone finally broke enough you can see the sadness but you aren’t supposed to read it that way.

        The aim is for the stuff that hurts your brain reading it more than they did writing it. So someone being honest with themselves isn’t really a lunatic even if they are crazy.

          honestly I think LinkedinLunatics as a community is mostly about satirizing LinkedIn culture (and the larger management culture, entrepreneur culture, etc.).

          I don’t think it’s about being broken or sad, like you can absolutely have good LinkedinLunatics posts that don’t have an element of sadness or brokenness, even if it’s true that authentic LinkedIn lunatics are generally “broken” or dysfunctional in some way.
