I call LinkedIn occupational hubris

I come from a big accounting firm, so most of what I see are former colleagues who've made partner posting about occupational efficiencies and how much financial gain they accomplish.

Some of them are complete blithering idiots who've failed upwards and now think they're geniuses

Others are just complete psychopaths who would gladly shiv their own mothers in the neck for a fraction of a step up the ladder. Hell, they would boast about doing so.

The latter facilitates and nurtures a toxic culture of stabbing your coworkers in the back at every possible opportunity for your own gain wherein saying anything good about a coworker, especially a subordinate, is a sign of weakness and considered sinful.

But on LinkedIn, they're all the heroes of their own narratives.
