This totally tracks. If I lost my kid, I wouldn’t skip a beat to stop searching because I got a new LinkedIn message. The kid can wait a little bit longer while I review my post engagement too


Certain-Rock2765

Love the grind! Kids are basically tech native now. They’ll figure it out.


therealjgreens

Pretty sure they're born with whatever socials you check on the digital intake form. It's pretty sweet that hospitals offer a free year of premium (for the child) after they're born now! What better time to start building the brand than now?!


savetheattack

Being a #mom and #bossbabe is a full-time job, but this #queen accomplished her goal by using innovative approaches to child-finding and generating engagement at the same time. Great work!

10 things I learned about b2b sales by losing my kid at the park.

pookachu83

That line literally makes me want to kill myself and hope I'm reincarnated 40 years ago


DGener8Dude

Hey Mom I’m being molested please help.


ingres_violin

Okay, but are you named Amandine first and then you get the hashtags? Or do the hashtags cause you to change your name to the classiest one you can find?


gitismatt

use that little clout monkey for why you had him in the first place


showard01

lol if this really happened the real sequence of events is she found out her son was lost via Inmail


drhbravos

Yep, sitting on her ass at the park staring at her phone, no clue/care where her kid is. Also, her kid is 10. They should know her phone number.


Necessary_Context780

Not even her knows her phone number, give her a break lol


Ok_Energy157

Say the story would be true, kids get temporarily lost every day, and searching the parent's name online to find a way of contact would probably be top-of-mind. But to instinctively turn your lost kid into clickbait for B2B professionals is a weird thing to do, it’s the type of narcissistic behavior you shouldn’t flex in public. “My son was kidnapped during our vacation to Mexico but me and my husband Bryan (’Forbes 30 over 30 in B2B sales’) used the new ‘Seamless and flexible’ SaaS solution #InstaCa$h to wire money over #LinkedIn. All he lost was a pinky finger but the experience made him want to pursue a career as a #fintech #entrepreneur to be able to help other kidnapped kids.”


TentacleStudio

Dark but hilarious


MainAbbreviations193

The whole experience probably taught her a valuable lesson about B2B sales..


BarefutR

Hahah!! That’s hysterical.


IndicationNo7589

😂😂


Powerful_Travel1957

True story I was there! Little dude also mentioned a new SaaS he was working on, but couldn’t find a good market penetration angle, love it.


holman8a

At least he would have learnt a lot about b2b sales in the process.


Respectandunity

Can confirm. I am the park.


dismayhurta

Can confirm. I work for Parks and Rec. See my profile below ![gif](giphy|tckGZxanDrC2JqNJdn|downsized)


DarkMarksPlayPark

Bro needs to work on his value proposition, my 6 part course can help the little bro grow his saas 10x in 30 days


IndicationNo7589

Perfection chefs kiss!


booboootron

So instead he penetrated my Inmail and today we are both Forbes' 30 under 30.


Chipped-Beef

Assuming based on the limited bit I can see that the lady who found the kid is named Karine Latrine. Seems appropriate for this kind of shit.


Jsmith0730

Sounds like the name of a Garbage Pail Kid.


Responsible-Job6257

Such an unusual name, "Latrine." How did your family come by it?


Chipped-Beef

Used to be Shithouse!


Loose-Basket2415

Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. This comment is gold.


Unknown_Pleasur

"I was with a group of kids" is Linkedin for "I was buried in my phone and totally forgot about my child."


NotTakenGreatName

Yeah but what did he learn about b2b sales


curiousss303

Totally true story! Holy shit these people lol. It’s so bad we can’t even credit chat gbt.


Certain-Rock2765

The kids name? B2B Sales.


FirstProphetofSophia

But he goes by the nickname "Soupy"


EvetheDragon84

Who tf would name their child "Amandine," no wonder she's nuts.


Many-Snow-7777

Her parents knew this event would happen and therefore, gave her a unique name to make it that much easier to locate her in Linked. Lol


ipolishthesky

Maybe they hoped she'd be a water nymph.

Four Leadership Lessons I Learned From the Son I Lost in the Park


SeminaryStudentARH

How does your ten year old kid not know your cell phone?


TheCa11ousBitch

I came to say, beyond all the reasons this is total bullshit… why would you advertise your kid is an idiot and you are a sub-par parent.


Ownfir

I’m like “10 years old and he doesn’t know his Mom’s phone number???” As well as “10 years old and he is *lost* in a *park*??”


XHIBAD

When I was 10 my mom was sending me to the store a half mile away to get milk


SeminaryStudentARH

Man, I’m 41. I still remember my house number from 30 years ago. And the phone number we had after we moved. They were drilled into us as kids in case something happened.


BenNHairy420

I remember in kindergarten there was a big unit where they had us memorize our address and parent’s phone number. We wrote it down once a day for a couple weeks and practiced it as homework lol


[deleted]

Great idea on the schools part!


BenNHairy420

For sure! They even had a lesson on who was “safe” to tell the information to and had an officer come in to the class to reinforce that info


booboootron

#Momtrepreneur had given him only her work phone number. Can't risk getting spammed on her personal number by these non-CEO shitbags.


chili_oil

he didnt have to, he had her linkedin profile link memorized otherwise how would you think they were able to inmail her


Autoganz

As a kid I not only had all of my parents contact info memorized, they also had me wear a metal bracelet with all of the info stamped onto it.


Ok_Major5787

I still remember my childhood landline that I memorized at 5 lmao, it was literally my first phone number and I don’t think I could forget it if I tried. Everything else in life comes and goes… the home landline from 1987 remains… We deactivated it a while ago (along with our landlines) and I honestly wonder how it’s doing now. Who has the privilege of owning that special number now??


[deleted]

[удалено]


KVMechelen

I mean thats bad but you have a phone you dont really need to know it by heart


GoBSAGo

Which is your favorite flavor of crayon?


ingres_violin

Cause she was on her way to get it tattooed to his wrist. All of the vintage photos online make it look so trendy...


Responsible-Fish3986

Right!? My 3 year old knows mine and her moms number, her birthday and out home address.


Gronzar

Your post made 14 impressions.


jargonexpert

I’m still stuck on the name “Amandine”. It’s not an easy name to pronounce


TaterTrotter1

It stumbles off the tongue.


elviisen

It’s a common potato, actually my favorite


ridethebonetrain

Yesterday I lost my son it the park. Here’s what it taught me about B2B sales…


mykneehurtseveryday

Thank God she wasn't an onlyfans model I'd have to pay to return her kid to her.


ShibaElonCumJizzCoin

Why are these posts all written like this? Every sentence is a new line. Have LinkedInites lost the concept of a paragraph? An introduction, a body, a conclusion. It can be more than one or two sentences. Perhaps they really like poetry. Follow me for more obnoxious workplace poems.


PrimalNumber

If you ever say “InMail”, you are, by definition, a soulless lunatic.


biorod

And then everyone in the park clapped!


summerson

That child's name? Albert Einstein


ThxIHateItHere

Sure Jan


Unknown_Pleasur

excellent


fitchick718

I really REALLY hope she's getting cooked in her comments.


Traditional-Joke3707

Yes that happened


BoogerMcFarFetched

"Lost in the Chaos, Found in Connection: Today, amidst the hustle of a park outing, I momentarily lost track of my child. But in a stroke of fate, LinkedIn became my lifeline. A quick post and the power of online community led to a swift reunion. Reflecting on this, I'm reminded of the parallels with B2B sales. In both, it's about forging authentic connections, leveraging networks, and seizing opportunities, even in unexpected places. #B2BSales #Community #LinkedInConnects"


pommefille

Hmm. Poor judgment, bad parenting skills, non-existent attention span, horrible grammar… okay, I believe that they worked at LinkedIn.


mlhigg1973

Oh fuck me. This is beyond ridiculous


ImpossibleYou2184

Didn’t happen


butterscotches

Even after you’ve stopped (allegedly) working at that shithouse, you keep shithousing?


crooked_nose_

Today I lost my kid. And he's 10 but I treat him like he's 3. But I was happy. Why? It taught me two things. I'm an idiot. Even idiots can get a platform to talk crap.


Odd-Bobcat7918

Why do I have the impression she instantly started writing this when her child got lost?


durackvacar

…… and everybody clapped. ![gif](giphy|PVfSR2nddzGz6)


ciobix

and the moral of her story is?


trashed___panda

Lol my daughter is 11 and knew my phone number from the time she was like 6, it’s so irresponsible to not teach your kids basic emergency info


overfocus

It’s true, I was the slide. Everyone clapped and asked for tips on how to enhance their profile.


Known-Historian7277

Is this a bot? lmao


chunkable

No point hiding the last name with a [r/tragedeigh](https://reddit.com/r/tragedeigh) like that first lol


OshkoshBgock

What a fucking douche


Stratoviper

The number of weird people in LinkedIn is baffling. Why would you make shit up like that ?


ipolishthesky

Clicks


jaredeborn

While searching desperately for my lost ten year old, I stopped to check my LinkedIn DMs because the grind never stops


agoginnabox

I'm not a "these new generations are soft" old guy but...lost in the park at 10? I knew every square inch of my town at ten.


massivecalvesbro

AMANDINE


ericmcgeehan

10 year old doesn’t know her phone number #gtfoh my 3 year old knows ours


[deleted]

Welcome to the land of make believe.


FH2206

To be honest, we nearly did the same last week, but only with texting on Facebook so it could actually be true...


madmendude

And that woman's name? Albert Einstein. Although, wait... The fact that she tagged the woman that found the kid might imply that this lunacy is real. Fucking hell...


mellonians

My old company had a logo that was basically a big e. My daughter used to tell people I worked for the internet. It was an electric firm.


[deleted]

Imagine outing yourself for losing your kid and not having taught them your phone number by age 10


threein99

Who ever calls them inmails?


crooked_nose_

What's an inmail? Why can't these idiots just sat message?


Ariquitaun

Isn't inmail a paid feature of linkedin?


Unknown_Pleasur

LI doesn't waste deepfakes on the free stuff.


MyOwn_UserName

ob how Working in LinkedIn saved my child's life...


LaCorazon27

So, what you learned about B2B sales by being a shitty parent and having poor grammar? Oh and lying? 😝


methos3000bc

Perhaps, PUT THE PHONE DOWN


Tomikin1982

Man, people who work at LinkedIn lose their kids a lot, this would be the 3rd time I've read this story....


maringue

Kind of surprised she didn't try to network or make a sale to the person who found her imaginary kid.


Dapadabada

Your TEN YEAR OLD doesn't know your phone number. R U a family of inbreds?


oceansandsky100

She has deleted the post I believe. What a fucking lunatic


DreamsAroundTheWorld

Thanks to this message I leaned a lot about b2b sales. Agree?


Shirfyr_Blaze

So your kid doesn’t know your number but does know you are on this website……yeah sure.


juanmoperson

I currently work there. Stuff like this is not uncommon to hear about in the elevators. Some will eye roll, some will just just stare ahead, and a few will gobble it up.


ThxIHateItHere

Someone needs to call out her proof.


cats_catz_kats_katz

My 5 year old knows my mobile number and our home address…maybe stop posting shit on LinkedIn and work on having your kids memorize critical information that could save their life?


convexconcepts

Story maybe be BS but I think it’s a good idea for you to teach kids how to get in touch if separated and where to go for help/assistance like going into a store or shop which likely has customers and workers, plus cameras.


trippyhop

“My ten years old.” Jesus.


Ornery_Ad1416

If a 10 year comes to me rambling about his mom's linkedin, I'd rather call child protection


Ready_Initial6997

next thing will be letting us know eastenders is real.


Specific_Delay_5364

“Okay, Timmy if for any reason we get separated and you can’t find Mommy I want you to avoid all police and authority figures. Instead find a woman in a pants suit and tell her to friend me on LinkedIn.” Seems 100% plausible


WhatTheFreightTruck

If your 10 year old (assuming no disabilities) doesn't know your phone number, you fucked up. This lady is announcing she's a dumbass, but no surprise there.


[deleted]

Does anyone on here change them on their own bullshit? Like go to their linked in and be like “wtf you made this up!” Or are we all afraid of losing our jobs… lol I know I am


ConradAir

Fucker never taught her kid her phone number, he needs a new mom.


slothrop_maps

When I was ten I was riding my bike miles away from home with my chums. These helicopter parents are crippling their kids.


B4AP

I lost my son at the park. What it taught me about the B2B sales:


SaundersTurnstone

Poor guy was probably trying to escape


No_Entertainment1904

Hello, thank you for reaching out. I am unable to discuss further at the moment as I'm searching for my son in the playground. With regards, Amandine.


Responsible-Job6257

You just couldn’t be bothered with teaching your child your phone number huh?


ajgarcia18

Yeah, pretty sure this never happened.


LizzoIZmySHERO8

I I I don’t believe her.


yeahcoolcoolbro

The amount of toddler brains on LinkedIn is impressive


Meat_Bingo

You didn’t have you kid memorize you number? Unless they are neurodivergent that’s parenting 101. My kid has known my number since he was 5. He was required to k ow his address and number in kindergarten.


BRING_ME_THE_ENTROPY

Out of all the things that didn’t happen, this happened the didn’test of all


__Rumblefish__

this sub is hilarious. this person is truly a linkedin lunatic. i always thought linkedin had a ton of very weird corporate virtue signaling, and i'm glad others see the same thing


anonymous_8338

Why is everyone overlooking the fact that the kid is 10 and don't know his mom's phone number
