Vanity: excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements.

Chronic: persisting for a long time or constantly recurring.

Also this may interest you...

Stupid: having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense.

to be fair, for some people having to layoff/fire people is heart wrenching. its the worst part about being a leader for most.

With that said, posting about it makes it seem very disingenuous...

If he had posted something sincere without the photo, it would have been miles better than what he did end up posting.

Right? A sincere "I'm here to provide you with the help you need to get your next role. DM me for references" or the like.

I watched what happened when several people I knew got let go when a decent sized startup folded. I watched Directors and VPs hustle to get their colleagues and reports other positions, even before they stated they were looking themselves. And I thought at the time that's how it should be done.

OMG I've seen several iterations of these now - like was this layoff even real because it just seems like spam for white men to copy, paste and play the tiniest of violins.

I was waiting to see this post here. Such virtue-signaling hoping for the schmucks to feel bad for a CEO, poor fella should start a GoFundMe to pay for his therapy over this trauma.

I appreciate the transparency, it's nice to know he's not a sociopath but really reads more like a diary entry than a supposed professional network post.

When my screen is totally covered by a crying guy when I'm looking for sales technique posts from my favorite influencers, I'm a little disturbed.

JFC did this guy cut some onions before posting this selfie? I get it, laying off people is something no one wants to do or be part of, but don't go around making this type of post about it.

I saw it at 7am, I cannot fucking even with this jabroni.

I honestly almost just deleted LI, because it was right after I read a message from a recruiter that didn't say the name of the org and gave a stated OTE almost 50% of my current position. This was the straw that almost broke the camel's back of this nonsense.

This is yet another reason social media has been getting on my nerves. I wish LinkedIn was saved from the whole "me, me, me" movement, but there's so much BS on it lately. So many selfies and people trying to stand out from the rest by posting personal stories and what not. That's not what I want to see on LI personally- I want to go there to network, not see Instagram type posts. Ugh.
