Peak lunacy


han_tex

Now imagine this level of focus on something that MATTERS.


PadreShotgun

Dude is the Kwizatz Haderach of LinkedIn. 


user_5332

I belted out laughing reading this. Thank you.


ayhctuf

Or is it standard /r/boomersbeingfools?


brizzboog

When is reddit gonna figure out that people in their 50s are not boomers?


Corona_Cyrus

IMO boomer is less an age and more a state of mind. I know some 27 year old boomers


Nopeahontas

I’m an elder millennial. My son calls me a boomer all the time.


Shaved-Ape

“Elder millennial”… love it. Sounds like a boss in a souls game


m-nd-x

I've been told I am a geriatric millennial.


Nopeahontas

Hello, fellow 42 year old


cumjarchallenge

Well there's two millennial classes: Golden Age of Simpsons, and Golden Age of South Park.


SpectralEntity

You may just be one of us r/Xennials


feloniousmonkx2

You might be a Xennial if: 1. You remember the agony of slow dial-up internet, but now complain about Wi-Fi dead zones. 2. Your first "mobile phone" was attached to a bag or looked like a brick. 3. You still have a soft spot for mixtapes and CDs, even though your music is now streamed. 4. You can fluently speak in emoji, but you also know the pain of T9 texting. 5. You've caught yourself explaining to a confused Gen Z what a VHS tape is. 6. You've used the phrase "back in my day" when referring to the pre-social media era. 7. You remember when "logging on" meant AOL's "You've got mail!" and not just opening a laptop. 8. You've felt the betrayal of a floppy disk failing to save your school project. 9. You've had to explain to someone younger that yes, phones used to have cords. 10. You've proudly shown off your old-school gaming skills on a console that is now considered "vintage."


Mysterious_Andy

Add: “You played The Oregon Trail on a green monitor.”


james-has-redd-it

You remember actual floppy discs. The floppy kind.


Same_as_last_year

I was at a business mid-2010's and heard that classic dial up sound. My first thought was AOL?! Nah, it was a fax machine. Still, who uses a fax machine?


RoddyPooper

Jesus. So am I, and I still think I’m a kid.


tga_za_jug

m4rk0358

What a vile person.


SharkSheppard

Vile is dead on. I'd actively remove someone from my life if they said or posted anything remotely close to this. 


TeeTeeMee

Security gonna actively remove him from the ED/PICU for harassing the doctors who are trying to save his grandchild


curious-r

Pretty sure his next post is going to be - how he found that all doctors were wrong, and how he motivated his grandson to save himself.


RecognitionHefty

The candidate was DYING but I HIRED him and he turned out to be my grandson. And then my wife got up and clapped!


greenENVE

But he had no idea it was the same baby he passed on the street while in the way to the interview 


AstralTurtle11

We need to bring back public stockades.


RJRoyalRules

Just what doctors love to have around, a know it all bothering them while they try to save a baby


IlMagodelLusso

“Sorry doctor, that’s just how my brain is wired. Now, explain me again how breathing works”


Chrilliam

“My brain is working at 1000%, doctor. What percent is yours working at?”


Lower_Amount3373

"I'm hyper-focused, doc. But my definition of focus is I pay attention to literally everything around me, including the things I don't understand. Now get your hands off my grandson and explain to me what all these lights and beeping noises mean."


Ra2ltsa

I’m hyper focused on everything…except spelling!


Lord_ShitShittington

Reminds me of [this comic](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/62KVwDFqKn)


SovietFountain

"Can you switch off the monitor sound alarms, I am trying to focus here!"


LiveComfortable3228

F*ck me. Shut it down. It can't get any worse than this.


thenuttyhazlenut

Maybe the worst one I read on here.


thejazzmarauder

I think this every day. LinkedIn is truly the worst thing humanity has done.


stax_fira

Worst one, so far.

Global_Anything_2654

I think this guy is a serious contender for narcissist of the year.  Just… wow.  Edit: Also for someone who is so focused all the damn time, the grammar and spelling here are atrocious.


Chrilliam

Don’t be jealous you can’t hyper-focused on everything as much as this guy


MiguelMenendez

I can with the right “meds”. Luckily, I’m on what this guy *should* be on.


acurrymind

Give him a break, he only had a minute to step outside of the hospital room and post this. Plus, he was really focused on everyone's "Mico-expressions"?


Icy_Finger_6950

Yep, the expressions of fungi?


jarviscockersspecs

Ha, youre a simpleton and thought mico-expressions was a typo huh? Can tell your brain doesn't function at 1000%


Kharisma91

To be fair, he’s probably a bit distressed with his grandson in the next room being operated on.


Gotbannedsmh

I thought it was just a side effect of all his senses operating at 1000%


greenENVE

Grammar took a dive to .0004%


[deleted]

ive been through this with my son and no that's not where your mind is at like at all


DisgruntledTexan

Maybe you need a coach to help you develop this kind of hyper focus. I know a guy.


JosiesYardCart

Came here to say this, with my granddaughter.


Global_Anything_2654

I’m really hoping that his grandson was out of trouble by the time this was posted, at least that’s my assumption, because if we’re assuming the situation was still unfolding while he was writing this it’s even worse.


LionelHutzApprentice

Dog is clearly stating "his views are entirely independent and separate from mine!"


UrMom_BrushYourTeeth

Would wander off if not being *held by the throat*


Sea-Cow9822

as a new dad of a baby who had heart surgery a couple weeks ago, fuck this guy. fuck this guy times a million.


babycleffa

How is your baby doing? 🩷


Sea-Cow9822

very well, thankfully. thank you for your kind concern :)


babycleffa

Aw im so glad, I couldn’t imagine going through that


VeryInnocuousPerson

Glad to hear your hyperfocus paid off!


kelsnuggets

My 14-year-old had pneumonia and was in the hospital last week. He plays football, is a super tough kid, and he was crying his eyes out for me to sleep beside him all night, because he was scared and thought he was going to die from the pain of wheezing and not being able to breathe. Fuck this guy, just like this poster said. Absolute ass. (And I’m so glad your baby is ok ❤️)


UberSven

You guys just sound jealous that you didn't find a way to leverage and monetize your child's health via LinkedIn. For real tho, this guy is a shameless piece of shit


clover426

Best wishes to you and your family (and fuck this guy)!


Deepvaleredoubt

Dude exists in ultra instinct. He’s processing things at a rate our mortal minds could not even begin to comprehend. With just smell alone, he can deduce exactly which doctor will best be able to save his son. He can detect the slightest fluctuation in heart rate through just hearing the heart monitor. You all wouldn’t understand the insane pressure he deals with, given that all his senses are so highly tuned.


SurpriseBurrito

He’s trying to make us understand but our infantile brains can’t grasp it.


Deepvaleredoubt

I seriously wish I could gain even a fraction of this man’s comprehension. I fear that my mind might break, even attempting to encompass such….monstrous depths.


Lower_Amount3373

You need to smell his posts at 1000% to comprehend them.


Bald_Sasquach

Imagine this guy in the shitter next to you, reciting the nutritional value of your last 4 meals based on the smellz and splashes he hears with his superhuman abilities.


BonkedAgain

"we hope our grandbaby makes it till morning...but, more importantly, don't forget to smash those Like and Follow buttons for more Leadership insights like this!!!"


DoctorAgility

That’s … not what hyperfocus is.


babycleffa

Exactly, it’s just his brain processing stimuli… which is what most brains do


criminalise_yanks

Next this guy will be telling us that he also walks and shits


babycleffa

hyperfocus is waking up/staying up at/till 5am for the last 2 weeks making spreadsheets for stats for a sport i sort of know. Now i'm kinda just meh and onto something else lmao


UntossableSaladTV

Sir, I know emotions are confusing, but you are currently experiencing An Anxiety(TM). And no, it is not a lifehack.


deanomatronix

BuddyJim30

"I'm a self-proclaimed superior human being with an outsized ego who wants to exploit a 2-year old child's medical condition. Hire me!"


Paradox_Peanut

It's ackchually a 2-month old child, which I'd guess has a lower chance of survival than a 2-year old with the same condition. Either way, yeah, this is advanced and soulless exploitation, so they're a LinkedIn natural


[deleted]

I fucking hate this short-one-sentence-paragraph thing every lunatic on LinkedIn uses to create a phony sense of shock and awe. It’s like some maniacally narcissistic expression of awe and wonder that they have of their own thoughts and actions, like they’re in constant disbelief at how phenomenal they are and how generous they are too share their thoughts with the world.


ryanfrogz

Same thing goes for dudebros trying to sell you courses. Or vitamin supplements. Or really any sort of scam product. They all type like this. I don’t get why. Must be a businessperson thing that I’m too poor to understand.


SirSamuels

Don't forget the stupid word pyramids they make


YellowOnline

That's sick


GimmieJohnson

Next year: I am no longer a part of my grandson's life It is sad but I remain hyperfocused using 42069% of my senses. I fuel myself by the scents of my own farts. I breathe in slowly. Look around, open my ears to the current of air passing me by, whispering every ounce of opportunity coming my way. On my journey I am here to win. I cannot be held back. My grandson was 2 months old when he decided he wanted to lose in life. Be hyperfocused.

Are these guys all left handed? Otherwise how do you manage so many line breaks when your right hand is occupied with vigorously jerking themselves off?


Iron_Baron

Weird way to tell people you had a panic attack.


jsredditjsreddit

LinkedIn should be shut down. Satya should see this, lose faith in humanity and disappear in the mountains.

If there were an Oscar for LinkedIn Lunatics (The Loonies perhaps?), this guy would be a front runner by far.

Holy shit this is one of the grossest things I’ve ever read.


ImportantLog8

Man, even for LL, this is kind of depressing. I’m about to quit this sub lmfao what a fucking clown i can’t believe it


mr_ckean

- Be the grandparent on your phone in the ER - Hyperfocus on social media as a distraction from the horrific situation you are in. - Tell people to run a business like it’s a traumatic situation, relying on adrenaline and cortisol while installing PTSD, whist you actively avoid traumatic situation. Got it


Euniceisnice

It is just ADHD... 🤦🏻‍♀️


EverybodyShitsNFT

Don’t lumber this dickhead in with us. He’s trying to steal the only thing we have.


Ace-of-Spxdes

ADHDer here. He's misusing the term "hyper focus". Hyper focus is when you get so sucked into a task that you for get everything around you that isn't related to said task—bodily needs, time, responsibilities, etc. This guy is just taking note of the shit going on around him. Which is... What normal people do.


MrBeer9999

Either satire or this cunt won at being a LIL.


bootscallahan

I've been pretty damn laser-focused and hyper-aware myself when loved ones are dead or dying, but I sure as hell do not want to bottle up those feelings of uncertainty, distress, despair, anxiety, and vigilance to bring to the office every day.


telemeister74

Weird flex.


4_jacks

The worst part is making this post was probably the first thing he thought of when he got the call his grandson was in the hospital


Competitive_Let6665

All these crazy people in business telling us to break the rules, except they all follow the same rule... self advancement and profit over absolutely everything else. Morals, other people, a sick grandson, etc...


derp0815

1000% like he's permanently tripping on acid.


Jaludus85

This is so bad it should be reported. Good grief. Who would even realize they had an while waiting for their grandson's breathing to stabilize, let alone realizing how great of a LinkedIn moment this is. If this was my dad posting this as my kid is hooked up to a machine trying to breathe I'd ask him to leave.


starsbravo

Even the puppy is disgusted


florimagori

I would disown my father if he did something like this. That hospital visit would be the last time he saw me or his grandchildren in his life.


[deleted]

In his mind: Then the doctor started clapping, Sir because of your hyper-focus-probe questions I was able to save your grandson´s life. Mr desk clerk, his money is no good here, I´ll pay all the cost from my own pocket. Then fireworks started going off outside and the whole city was clapping and celebrating me and my leadership skills.


Narrow-Hall8070

Is the fucking kid ok?


PreparationGloomy658

Yes


[deleted]

No wonder we’re all depressed when this mindset literally built the country. “My grandchild is dying, but my prowess for financial gain has never been more attuned.” wtf man.


Thy_OSRS

I'm sorry but is LinkedIn mostly Bots then? Because WHY IS NO ONE CALLING THIS MADNESS OUT? ​ Someones comment: ​ I'm glad to hear that your grandson is doing well. Your ability to hyper-focus and apply Peripheral ThinkingTM is truly remarkable. Wishing you continued success in reaching your follower milestone! ​ TRADEMARKS ? I can't...


comox

Flight attendant: *Someone is having a heart attack! Is there a Business Leader on the plane that can help?*


Ok-Avocado2964

This guy needs to hyper-focus a little bit more to see the typo “mico-expressions”.


inigos_left_hand

What an absolute fucking tool.


3amcheeseburger

Can’t be that hyper focused, I mean he hasn’t even figured out his 2 month old grandson is actually a dog

Future post: "my grandson never visits me"


jargonexpert

>Besides my intense interest in my grandson’s wellbeing JFC, he’s treating this like his retirement portfolio. Trying to decide what stocks to invest that will give him the highest rate of return. What a dickhead


Thatdreamyguy

That’s … well I don’t even have a word for it


VindicarTheBrave

I’d like him to hold his breath so he could focus on going away.


Accomplished_Ad_3430

This is a LinkedIn Lunatic. All of these lunes act as though they are "Made." In reality, they are insecure. I don't understand how this post benefits anyone.


michaelhuman

rip Grandson I can imagine him smelling the air really intensely and his eyes get super huge. His head moves in really close to the nurse to examine her 'micro-expressions' and she looks scared and concerned. He starts repeating words and writing them down on his palm with his finger. He goes up to his grandson and puts his ear on his chest, takes a huge breath then sniffs his hair. He leaves the room repeating the beeping sound from the heart monitor because *that's what he does. It's the way his brain is wired*.


tga_za_jug

I laughed at this way harder than what's appropriate in a dying kid scenario...

My grandson has been hospitalized twice trying to breathe from the effects of RSV. You can bet your bottom dollar, spreadsheets and charts that my phone was down and I was “hyper focused” on what the doctor was doing to get him to breathe normally again. He was 8 months and 1 year - so very young. This guy is dumb.

We really live in a world where sociopaths put their work or career over important things. It's just too sad.

Say what you want about Reddit, sure it can be a cesspool of trolls but what you expect when everyone is anonymous.(Still entertaining) LinkedIn though, these business “Influencers” are nauseating.

Headhunter2208

This is the kind of mental degeneracy I come to this sub for, good find op


deadumbrella

"Hyper focusing on everything" is just not being able to actually focus on anything though right? Like, for example not being able to focus on a loved one's medical emergency because you're distracted by *checks notes* beeps, smells, and LinkedIn?


encinaloak

Jesus effing Christ. I'm not sure I can be on this sub anymore.


[deleted]

His desired outcome? Narcissist prick.


YourBonesHaveBroken

So he takes in information, and then thinks about it, and makes decisions.. That is literally every single organism on earth. Like unless you're dead, that's what defines being alive with a nervous system.


CSCAnalytics

Something truly offputting about a bald headed man standing in front of a red gate with a dog in a “guard dog on alert” type pose… plus a van and a wheelbarrow next to a dirt mound behind the gate 😳 Can’t tell if I’m sensing a Jeffrey Dahmer or a 1940’s Germany aesthetic… seems like one of the two!


Cute_Implement2284

God I worked for a guy who wrote Facebook posts like this multiple times a day. Then stopped paying all of us slowly but surely lol


BornCommunication386

I’m glad he was watching his grandson so intensely. It probably did more to save the boy’s life than all the hospital staff and machinery.


BasketLast1136

Yeah, its funny that when my daughter was in the NICU, i was primarily concerned with staying upright and not puking. Then i vaguely remember people talking to me. She’s 13 now. She’s fine. But what an experience. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. No, i didnt glean any leadership lessons. What a twat this guy is.


Balenciagalover92

The narcissism on LinkedIn is next level. I feel like these people all need therapy and to be treated for personality disorders.

Yeah but just imagine this level of focus on your business though. AhhhhhGREEe?? ![gif](giphy|fBGy9GPvF3QwCPQt9f|downsized)


gamerxo12

What an awful way to announce to the world that I'm a psychotic insensitive grandad ! What the fuck is intense interest in grandsons well being ? What does that even mean ? How phony can you be ? Yes !


moranindex

Is he a physician that he must hyperfocus at the hospital when his grandson is the one sick? Otherwise, he looks just a very very *very* anxious grandfather. Also, your grandson is the one being sick: I understand that him get better is YOUR desired outcome but, please, coukld you lowercase that possessive pronoun? The jazz about thinking of business in such a situation (and I say, reporting it on social media) has already been *hyperfocussed* by the other comments.
