Subtly cult leader too but definitely a CEO and not a cult leader. Oh we don't need you, but we care about you so much please remember that. Except in this case it's not quite the shunning scenario at least, where they're then trying to demonise you for any criticism.

Lol, as an autistic psychopath - with a grandmother who’s been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder; and whom survived a decade of what’s formerly referred to as Munchhausen By Proxy, at the hands of my mother.. No. That’s a bit inappropriate and shows your ignorance on the subject/differentiation, between the two. With all due respect. People with neuraltypical brains, and with “normal” experiences of empathy and such can do just as emotionally manipulative things. If anything, I’d say are more likely to do so. Emotions can make people do some pretty heinous things. Psychopaths and sociopaths have stunted emotional feeling. Many autistic people do, also. I don’t see you villainizing them.. I would say there is narcissistic tendencies, being reflected in what this video is in regards to, for sure - as they tend to have heightened emotions, self-focused, and lack-empathy (not all narcissists are malignant, and such behavior has the potential to managed. Emphasis on potential; though, not necessarily probable). However, again, to lump psychopathy in with sociopathy - or the narcissist omitted from your original comment - shows a vast ignorance on such “disorders;” regardless of what the DSM-5 states. It’s not the end all be all, on the understanding of such; and I pray the day will come that psychopathy is classified differently. Psychopaths are born. Sociopaths and narcissists are made.

There are some CEOs out there who straight up resigned because they felt guilty about their failures, others that took pay cuts so they didn't have to lay of their employees. This guy just weeps, like a child.
Imagine having a family that depends on you and then being fired because your boss is an idiot and then your boss goes online and makes a fake post about feeling bad in order to get views and likes off your firing.
The one time that I was laid-off I was so relieved it was difficult to contain my excitement. I am serious; it took all of my self-control not to look anything other than deadpan.
@@kattihatt the company offered very generous severance package to those being laid-off so I was just biding my time. If I had l handed in my notice, instead of waiting for the inevitable one-on-one HR meeting about the lay-off, I would have lost out on approximately 12 weeks full pay post-lay-off. One day I had laryngitis and could barely speak. I asked to be put on email support instead of telephone support that one day, but my request was denied by my manager.
Once I had an argument with some HR person on LinkedIn about the fact that it hurts more for the employee than for the company when they are being let go. The person still had the guts to say that it's more devastating for the company even though company would still be functioning yet the, now, former employee is left penny-less. I wish I could get that time back.
@Terence O'Donoghue When you'll be in a situation where you get let go unfairly, remember your own comment. Let's get down to Layman's terms - I lose job, I go broke. Company loses an employee - back in business, no sweat.
@Terence O'Donoghue now I am curious - what's the skill you got that would get you work (starting from nothing, not previously denied offers you had) in the very next day of losing your job?
I was let go from a small company once. They met with me and let me know they still had funding for 5 weeks and short of some miracle investment would have to let me go after that. They proactively said it was OK for me to step out during the day for interviews. Instead of pretending it was some devastating event they just told me in advance and we all acted like adults. Doing a surprise layoff when you knew it was coming weeks ago, delegating it to someone else then posting a crying selfie is straight up narcissist behavior.
Adding a picture of himself crying makes him look like a teenage girl who just got broken up with and is posting selfies all over her social media to show the world that her life is terrible and tragic and screaming "Notice me, feel for me, validate me!"
Oh yeah. I just watched Nicholas Cruz tell his victim's families how rough things have been on him too. Poor monster can't even watch TV now, can you believe it. Tsk tsk, so hard on him. Narcissists really got it rough out there. Does anyone even consider how hard their actions are on THEM?! lol 🤮
Can you imagine this though? Like the moments he took the photo? "Oh god! What have I done! My poor -employees- family! I can't stop crying about firing them..." * says as he tries to find the best angle for his tears to sparkle looking into his phone equipped with a light ring
😁🤣 Glad you covered this, Josh. For better or worse, I was part of the mob on social media that slaughtered his actions before this showed up here. The off the charts narcissism is mind numbing.
I got his post on my feed; I empathized with him, even sympathized, but I could see how the backlash would play out, and it did. CEOs shouldn't be expected to smile or be stone-faced all the time; I appreciate the expression, but it is completely bad image when our culture generally treats workers like crap to begin with.
One glimmer of hope for the employees that got let go, is that I think it’s a really strong job market right now. I am wishing them the best that they find new positions really soon! It seems like there would be a good chance of that. What with unemployment being so low at all. . I like this channel, because you say all the things that I can’t really say at work or online.
Honestly these kinds of things make me respect my company even more. They'll obviously layoff if it comes to it, but we're always so transparent and don't bullshit behind 'my company is my family'. Maybe it's because we only have 1000+ employees and not 10,000+ like other corporates.
This is the quintessential LinkedIn post. It’s a bubble of psychopathy and autogenerated social blast posts. What cuts through the algorithm monotony is hollow, emotional tripe like this. Corporate leaders handing out cash bonuses (always including selfies) and crying about tough decisions- I fired this person but look how it affects MEEEE. Thanks for calling this out. BS like this is why I left office work for the skilled trades.
At least he admitted it was his fault. Too bad it is just words. Like it would be interesting if he mention he took a pay cut so x amount of people can stay. It's virtue signalling. Like the entire thing seems fake. And I agree with Joshua on he should've talked about the people if he was serious.
The reason why CEOs feel like this is okay is because we keep saying "at least...." The man is trash on wheels and feet. End if story. I hope someone hires his workers and gives them higher pay.
Admitted it was his fault, but didn't take any action or face any consequences himself (i.e. why hasn't he resigned?). Even halfway through the post he starts talking about "the decision that was made" instead of "the decision I made". There's no responsibility being taken here, at all.
I believe his feelings are genuine but I fear they are not about the employees themselves and instead that his business isn't going as good as planned.
The company may have signed an NDA as part of a marketing contract separation. That may have been the reason why they couldn't publicly clarify the mistake.
The CEO tears remind me of a scene in Jerry Maguire when Jerry calls a female client who cries at his imminent firing, then immediately speaks normally when she thinks Bob Sugar is on the other line, only to hear it is Jerry again and reverts to instant tears. He comes across as a self-absorbed tool.
I think in the same post I read he talked about how he decided to stop selling one of their main product offerings in favour for a new product they were launching.
So glad you covered this. His post just screams opportunistic narcissism and so much of what so many of us disdain about fake corporate culture.
I dont think so not eveyone is like that we are so used to people not giving a damn.
That is just Communist Leftist ceo trying to play the victim.

The CEO's post is in bad taste and cheesy.

CEOs shouldn't be expected to smile or be stone-faced all the time; I appreciate the expression, but it is completely bad image when our culture generally treats workers like crap to begin with.
Joshua keep reading and crying you got me laughing bad brother lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Personally I found it difficult to take a selfie when I’m sad.”🤣 Good one, Josh!
I’m excited for this!
Can you imagine posing for a selfie while crying? That is Boss level narcissism.
The dumbest thing in the world are ppl who stop to take picture mid cry! ha
"Don't mind me, just commenting to be apart of meme history" brilliant!
I guess he's his own PR team doing damage control 😂
"You should've sent back" lmao you Crack me up
One glimmer of hope for the employees that got let go, is that I think it’s a really strong job market right now. I am wishing them the best that they find new positions really soon! It seems like there would be a good chance of that. What with unemployment being so low at all.
. I like this channel, because you say all the things that I can’t really say at work or online.
As always Joshua, TH-cam gold here.
Honestly these kinds of things make me respect my company even more. They'll obviously layoff if it comes to it, but we're always so transparent and don't bullshit behind 'my company is my family'. Maybe it's because we only have 1000+ employees and not 10,000+ like other corporates.
This is the quintessential LinkedIn post. It’s a bubble of psychopathy and autogenerated social blast posts.
What cuts through the algorithm monotony is hollow, emotional tripe like this. Corporate leaders handing out cash bonuses (always including selfies) and crying about tough decisions- I fired this person but look how it affects MEEEE.
Thanks for calling this out. BS like this is why I left office work for the skilled trades.
Bros these videos are comedy gold lmfao.
Glad it’s not you crying in the thumbnail. We enjoy seeing happy Josh
There's a reason why that CEO is now a meme
At least he admitted it was his fault. Too bad it is just words. Like it would be interesting if he mention he took a pay cut so x amount of people can stay.
It's virtue signalling. Like the entire thing seems fake. And I agree with Joshua on he should've talked about the people if he was serious.
The reason why CEOs feel like this is okay is because we keep saying "at least...." The man is trash on wheels and feet. End if story. I hope someone hires his workers and gives them higher pay.
Admitted it was his fault, but didn't take any action or face any consequences himself (i.e. why hasn't he resigned?). Even halfway through the post he starts talking about "the decision that was made" instead of "the decision I made". There's no responsibility being taken here, at all.
👍👍👍
That is a bit over the top. Hmm how can I get something from firing people? Wait, pity...hold my beer.
Yes I have been waiting for you to react to this.
Been waiting on this 💯💯
When the need to lament is superseded by your self-serving need to get social media engagement.
I believe his feelings are genuine but I fear they are not about the employees themselves and instead that his business isn't going as good as planned.
This. This is the truth. More layoffs are coming.
Someone crying in the thumbnail that wasn't me... Hah!
*Regie Ramas* - “hold yourself to it” was the best thing I saw and heard today. 👍
Had to delete linked in after seeing this. Oh what a mess. What a mess that platform has become.
This reminds me of how influencers go on an apology tour
Performative. Bravo!!
The company may have signed an NDA as part of a marketing contract separation. That may have been the reason why they couldn't publicly clarify the mistake.
I didn't think that corporate virtue signaling can reach new lows, but here we fkng are
This is literally the Lord Farquad "some of you may die..." meme
The CEO tears remind me of a scene in Jerry Maguire when Jerry calls a female client who cries at his imminent firing, then immediately speaks normally when she thinks Bob Sugar is on the other line, only to hear it is Jerry again and reverts to instant tears. He comes across as a self-absorbed tool.
7:50 Giving a thumbs up for Vincent, lol.
"hold yourself to it"
dayum those are savages, send help
I think in the same post I read he talked about how he decided to stop selling one of their main product offerings in favour for a new product they were launching.
You are the best!!! I just emailed you about doing this...this guy!
