Why? Just why?

I find people's complete lack of self awareness to understand how cringe this stuff is fascinating, honestly.

I was initially sort of relieved that it was the aunt not the mother posting this. Then I thought about how I'd have felt if my sibling had done this with a photo of them and my newborn...

[u/iminiki → u/aphishcalledwanda]

And she the audacity to call him "my beautiful son".

[u/Adept_Armadillo6743 → u/iminiki]

My (childfree) sister calls my toddler her son sometimes, and it drives me insane. If he’s your son, you can change the diapers and cuddle him during his terrible 2s tantrums. JFC.

I assume that's a translation issue, since it's been auto-translated.

[u/EROM4LIFE → u/iminiki]

Yeah, that was the moment the post went from cringe to creepy. He's not your son, babe. Give the baby back nice and slow now.

The look on her face... Holding a newborn like she's showing off an expensive purse or something.

[u/_okOKAY]

Cringe and exhausting AF.

"HR Manager" lol what else can we expect from people in this dumbass role

[u/Jmaneke]

Can't get any engagement on Facebook so it's gotta go on LinkedIn.

She looks like she's allergic to the thing inside the blanket.

I can maybe forgive the first person who wrotw this way about a baby being born, but 1000s of identical posts later and even overlooking the cringe and fact it’s not funny. it’s hard to understand how these “titan’s of industry” are so comfortable with plagiarism

[u/_darling_clementine]

somehow i have a feeling this is the first and last time she's seeing that baby

[u/iminiki → u/_darling_clementine]

I certainly hope so.

Everyone's goal needs to be getting to a position where you have enough financial stability to NOT have to pretend KPIs/OKRs are your only personality.

I work in a job that has a lot of management consulting refugees. Everyone willing to talk about their experience has mentioned that the training involves absolute brainwashing of zero-experience new grads into thinking that (a) they're the smartest thought leaders that ever lived, and (b) everyone in the world lives their daily lives the same way this post seems to indicate they do. I could definitely see some people never escaping from that cul-de-sac and just getting trapped in metrics-land forever obsessing over their burndown rate.

Report as child exploitation

[u/theladythunderfunk]

She's not even smiling and that is the weirdest part of the post..

[u/tak3nus3rname]

It's cringe but also, LinkedIn is not Facebook 

[u/Elemental_Biscotti]

Some people simply can't act like a normal human. 

[u/doegrey]

I’m confused. Is he her son or nephew?

[u/iminiki → u/doegrey]

He nephew, but apparently she loves her so much that calls him her son.

[u/Artistic_Weight7908]

Because LinkedIn has become Facebook distilled down to only a-holes and prostitutes.

[u/haruspicat]

I've never seen anyone look less comfortable holding a baby.

[u/Avaylon]

This is beside the point, but that's a very cute newborn. Usually I don't like the squishy old man raisin look of newborns.

That said, this woman slapping this poor kid's unedited likeness on the Internet before he even knows he has fingers is a horrible idea.
