    Guaranteed this guy talked about how no one wants to work anymore, or provided ‘insights’ on leadership/project management

      IDK why I’m sticking up for a dead stranger this early but… is this kinda unfair cuz it’s just ageism? Dude might’ve been a saint or Hitler. (No, nothing in between!)

      If you’re good at reading faces I have to take back the ageism accusation :)

        He was a VP of some sort. You don’t get that high up without drinking a little of the LinkedIn/corporate koolaid. While he could have been innovative in his management approach, it’s unlikely given that management of people has evolved a lot recently. I’ve also worked with with a ton of people like this.

        I am good at reading faces, but that doesn’t hold water in terms of assessment.

        I am judging a book by its cover, but I’ve read a lot of books with very similar titles

          He was in OEM sales. No mention of management or VP experience, literally the only thing you know about this guy is that he’s old and white. You’ve told yourself an entire story about this guy that is entirely fictional and are presenting it as if it’s got some merit which is pretty ridiculous.
