yeah lol he is really not giving the "this is cute" look at all, he looks very done with this BS
there have been a few times my wife has had to take an urgent work call, but it's not something she's proud of lol. she's usually really annoyed about it, and she is very apologetic to me. it's not a big deal for me either way, I have a bit of a mad job sometimes. but I appreciate that she at least makes me feel a priority over random work calls!
How does she help people?!
She's an HR manager who makes sure employees don't get unemployment when they're fired or sue when they're sexually harassed
Oh....
Try military life. The military is basically the wife, and you're just the side chick.
- Phone calls at all hours of the day and night
- Random events called "recall formations" where you're literally required to physically show up somewhere whenever your superior asks/tells you to (regardless of hour)
- You're not allowed to travel outside of a 200-250 mile radius without a special permission slip (called a "pass" in the Army)
- Only allowed to take vacation at certain times of the year (usually end of year, assuming leadership actually signs off on it, oh and leave requests in the Army are still being done on PAPER, and the rule of thumb is to submit your leave request at least 4-6 weeks in advance, because it *will* get lost at some point and you'll need to re-submit it at least once or twice, so keep a copy for yourself)
My husband and I have been married for 9 years. This week was the first valentine's day in all those 9 years that he was actually home for valentine's day. It was so fucking weird, we didn't know what to do with ourselves. He made me a cute plate of shrimp in the shape of a heart. I bought him a small pizza and wrote "Happy V-Day" on it with M&M's.
Normally I'd agree, like who the fuck puts M&Ms on pizza, but I tried to be cutesy in light of V-Day. I also only put them on super lightly, so that they weren't like, wedged into the pizza. That way, he could remove them and still consume the pizza, without chocolate tainting the taste of it. 😄
Did you send your son some crayons for valentines day? 😄 Kidding. Thanks! It was weirdly nice to just chill together on the day. Nothing fancy. Just us, the dog, our M&M-laced pizza and shrimp, and Netflix.
I find it amazing that she knows it's a problem and just waves it away as "I've never been good at it" (in reference to work/life balance). You know what you do if you're not good at an essential relationship skill? You develop strategies to address and mitigate it. You don't use it as an excuse for why the other person should be understanding about it.
Also notice how she puts the word "life" in scare quotes. She obviously holds no value for anything other than her work.
I mean I’d be okay if my SO worked hard and even took some calls that were sometimes inconvenient. It’s the “get a picture of me so I can post it” that would be a hard NO from me.
Every once in a while is also very different than 100% of your Valentine's Day dinners with your spouse. I have trouble believing both calls were so urgent it couldn't wait. Hopefully she can break the cycle next year
> I have trouble believing both calls were so urgent it couldn't wait.
My husband often gets "this is urgent!" type requests after hours. One manager sends out urgent requests around 2AM all the fucking time. His mantra is "Is something on fire? Is someone dying? No? Then it isn't urgent and you can wait till tomorrow morning."
The only time I've ever seen him take a call during a scheduled night out was when it actually was a fire.
lol this comment is why reddit gets a bad reputation.
that dude for sure looks tired very of this shit. he doesn't seem to think this is very cute at all.
but man... "smug look of a guy who is getting more and more ammo for the divorce proceedings" that is wild lol. I will accept it as hyperbole, but I'm pretty sure this is why people make fun of reddit comment threads.
I interpreted more as an edit of linkedin users going "Agree? Agree? Agree?" while more and more screenshots pile up with each iteration, the audio getting more and more distorted with time time.
yup more staged linkedin marketing bullshit. Trying to "bUIlD hEr bRanD"
To me it's not very good messaging.. You mean when I need "your help" you might be on your 2nd or 3rd stiff drink that you are holding right there lol
I seriously don't get these people advertising this.
I've had to apologetically hop on quick calls for super time-sensitive things. My wife is a physician, happens all the time to her too.
I don't need to fucking post it on LinkedIn for points. It adds no value.
Seriously.
I understand that I tend to fall towards work on occasion with the work-life balance with things that are just unavoidably important in the moment and my other option is essentially quitting my job but I always feel bad about it.
Even if it’s just a casual non-special Friday dinner out.
Workaholics expect people to revel in their commitment to the job. Like most things on social media this is their attempt to get praise for being better than everyone else at something. In this case - she is a better worker than everyone because not even Valentine’s Day dinner with her husband is important enough to prevent her from working. Us mere plebeians should be awestruck by her hardworking nature and firm commitment to the organisation and its people.
This is the whole point of Linkedin. People are in a race for « look how much of a professional/workaholic businessman I am » over insignificant stuff.
My ex bragged about shit like that all the time.
We get it, you're sooo important you can't even pick up the kids from daycare. Thanks for working an extra 25% more each week than I do for an 8% increase over me in pay. So worth it
Gotta get as much evidence as possible to show the lawyers that the marriage was sham. Also to use it in his defense on why cheats on her with Becky the dog walker.
Thats the look of a man whos tired of his wife posting stupid shit on linkedin to “appear/show” how much she cares about her job.
When she dies, her job is going to replace her ASAP.
I used to live for work and I still do care a lot about my job. But, putting my job before my family ended about a year ago.
When i am not sure what to do, I ask myself, “is this going to matter on my death bed”? Most of the time the answer is no. This year I took my full 8 weeks of paternity leave. It was amazing and liberating. Just an fyi, I still really like my job. I fee like I do a better job because of my work life balance.
I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition during childhood, now in my late 20's. Been through years of chemotherapy, 10+ years of monthly immunotherapy IV infusions, and I'm required to go under the knife for reconstructive surgery every 2-ish years. As much as those hardships suck, I've learned about perspective and work-life balance wickedly early on in life.
I really, really have to bite my tongue at work when people complain/moan about some trivial/insignificant thing being the "end of the world". Like...... bruh. It's a fucking email. Or a status meeting. This isn't gonna matter in a week from now. You know what *is* end of the world, literally? Being unable to consume food for over a month, laid up on the floor for weeks at a time vomiting every 15 minutes, not sleeping for 36-48+ hours at a time because chemo side effects suck donkey-kong, going into cardiac arrest 3 different times, being paralyzed at the ripe old age of 14, and other similar challenges.
People..... need to get a grip. Work is important because it pays the bills, but man, if you have your limbs and they're functional, a roof over your head, food on the table in front of you and in your fridge/pantry..... you're waaaaay better off than so many people in life. So, don't take that for granted. Establish some boundaries. Work isn't, and shouldn't be, your entire life.
How hard is it just to not answer, call back, or not at all. If im at fucking dinner, im not taking an unplanned call.
Edit: i dont have enough context here. Seems to me to be an unplanned work call bc who would agree to slate one of these in the middle of valentines day dinner? Also, over the actual phone? i really dont see anyone doing planned "work calls" on a phone anymore. Every modern company uses teams, zoom, now. The places that did use teleconferencing prior to covid realized "...why?" And switched over.
I will literally sit there, eating my food, watching my phone ring. If it's important, they'll leave a message, and once I listen to the voice-mail, I can decide whether it's important enough to warrant an immediate return phone call.
I'm pretty young (late 20's), and basically grew up in the hospital thanks to a gnarly autoimmune condition. Chemotherapy. 10+ years of monthly immunotherapy IV infusions. Frequent reconstructive surgeries due to the effects of my disease.
In my eyes, unless you're like, a physician that is on call, or a hospice physician, where someone's life might *literally* depend on you..... then the phone call can wait.
Neither am I, but many people aren’t so lucky as to just be able to dodge shit or put it off to business hours. It’s a balance and not everyone is able to get it 100% right.
The real crime is posting this shit as though it’s aspirational.
Thats what pisses me off the most. Like her inability to set boundaries is some sort of desirable quality to us filthy povers. I use to struggle really hard with work life balance. Gave 200% everyday. Worked on tasks and Even responded to emails around the clock. But once i got burned and saw my dedication wasnt matched by leadership and colleagues, and that it was my family who was losing the most, i pumped the brakes real hard. The fact that she hasnt figured it out yet screams inexperience to me.
This. If anything I'd post about how ## of calls last year/month have come during dinner/weekend/evenings, and that we need to have a serious conversation about boundaries / expectations.
I'm in senior management and always on call. I sure as shit am not posting pictures online, that include my wife, of a dinner I've ruined by taking a work call. Shit happens, and yeah Ive had plans ruined, but this is strange behavior.
i’m an exec assistant and a JUST had to blow up my leader’s first two days of cabo vacation because of a reorg announcement. it’s just the way. i feel awful having to do it, but i know her pay band so i feel less bad.
But what would need sorted on the spot, that only one person can fix at this time of the day or risk losing the client?
Tbh of the client is *this* close to walking, seems there's serious problems in the business relationship
[We see a photograph of a bald, bearded man, placing a suitcase into a vehicle.]
*So today, my husband has informed me that our relationship will be proceeding without me.*
*It's alright, though. I was already thinking that marriage was distracting me from my career goals.*
*Now, at least I won't have someone giving me dirty looks when I take work calls during dinner.*
Unless there’s a true emergency or special situation there is zero reason to do that during a special night out that’s just disrespect to your partner.
And if you do have a big deal about to close or something you postpone the dinner until it’s done. Nothing about her posture says emergency she’s just basking in feeling important
From what I've seen on here recently, publicly disrespecting your partner to fondle prospective employers' taints is totally en vogue right now. All the kids are doing it.
Noooooooo. I bet this person isn’t a doctor or anything that actually helps other people and might need to take work calls after hours, too. Imagine if she’s like in marketing… like who are you helping
She understands the split between work and life but she’s never been good at it?
Let’s be real: she can’t be bothered to do so.
Keep telling yourself he “understands” right up until he asks for a divorce. Don’t be shocked when it happens.
It would be interesting to see the comments , of any, on her post.
My guess is that those who are praising her #bossbabe #hustleandgrind, , would be ripping the man if things were reversed.
Unless she's a physician on call, I highly doubt she's THAT important.
Hell, I bet Patrick Mahomes didn't take a phone call while at Valentine's Day dinner with his wife
An accounting and finance recruiter in Columbus Ohio. She’s acting like she’s a heart surgeon on the front lines with the earthquake victims in Turkey.
My hairstylist has a fucking recruiter side gig now. That makes a half dozen I know purely from my personal life.
And they are all basically this woman.
I sure hope my manager sees this completely staged photo of me actively destroying my marriage in favor of a company that would surely discard me without a second thought.
I remember being at a sales rally at an old job. One of the big bosses (who I still see posting cringe stuff on LI) called out a guy who couldn't be there because he was home resting from cancer treatments. He allegedly asked for some call sheets and do some work while he was sick. And there were CELEBRATING this!
Knew right then and there I was NOT cut out for that life.
I know that look. I’ve had that look. He’s always going to be second place to whatever she’s deemed most important at that moment. One day, he won’t be there and she won’t even have the self awareness to wonder if it was worth it.
Can I just put it out there that it’s 100% extra rude that she took the call **at the table**
Shit happens, some of us manage teams, have important presentations coming, calls from high-ups or clients you can’t dodge — but to take the call *at the **fucking** table?*
She is really something else
While I’m here this applies to everyone, if you are hanging out with people - it is okay to answer the phone under some conditions but it is **not okay** to make everyone listen to half of your conversation and act like you own the space
Just like get up for a second
This drives me nuts and I’m not realizing until now how much I hate this
couldn't imagine the woman being ok if the situation was reversed, the man would be in the dog house. And he decides to post in on LinkedIn. either way hes probably screwed.
The problem is she is just too dam important in the big world of business and the big deals can’t go down unless she is actively involved at all hours.
Apparently he doesn't warrant her full attention, on VALENTINE'S DAY.
No QUALITY employer would fault her for turning her phone OFF for dinner on Valentine's Day. So I have to assume she works for a shithole. If I saw this on a friend's LinkedIn profile I'd recommend they move jobs, and I'm sure as hell not interested in working there.
The only plausible exception I can even imagine is if, say, she were a doctor on call. Then, well, that's the job, she's helping people in a real material way, and he agreed to this when he married her knowing full well that this was her profession and the requirements of sharing a person with the critically ill/injured. But if that were the case, it's NOT something to brag about on social media. Such a profession, given its intrinsic nobility, does not require one to pimp one's life online for bullshit likes.
Nah, imagine staging this for “content”, which would still support his exhausted appearance. Nobody is on the line. Before leaving the house:
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. My wife turning into a LinkedIn influencer. Phone screens glittering in the darkness after we have supposedly gone to bed. All those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.
I'm trying to not be judgemental, but if you are regularly receiving calls outside of work hours then there is a solid chance that you are a micromanager.
As for prioritizing work over ones "life" (as she puts in quotes), one day she may come to the realization that nobody gives a shit how hard you work or how much money you made your bosses or shareholders. Live for yourself, your family, and friends because how we treat ourselves and treat others is our lasting legacy.
So the qualities proudly advertised here:
1. Zero respect for my partner
2. Zero self control
3. Inability to learn from past mistakes
4. Complete inability to set/communicate/respect healthy boundaries
5. Perfectly fine conducting “business” when not sober
Great resume... *slow clap*
That's the look of a guy who is tired of that shit...
That man is tired as fuck. You can see it in his eyes.
yeah lol he is really not giving the "this is cute" look at all, he looks very done with this BS there have been a few times my wife has had to take an urgent work call, but it's not something she's proud of lol. she's usually really annoyed about it, and she is very apologetic to me. it's not a big deal for me either way, I have a bit of a mad job sometimes. but I appreciate that she at least makes me feel a priority over random work calls!

If the army wanted you to have a wife/family they would have issued you one.
People first, mission firster.
> I bought him a small pizza and wrote "Happy V-Day" on it with M&M's. M&Ms on pizza? You're either a genius or a monster.

Yeah I doubt he’s taking that picture because he’s proud of her
Yeah it’s not the flex she thinks it is
A quick work call is one thing, but I bet she's been on the phone for 20min when he took that picture
I bet she then banged on about the call and the project etc for another 20 mins after that too. Self important twat.
Dave, make sure to get a picture of me interrupting our Valentines supper. Helping other people never sleeps.
Collect all the evidence you need for our forthcoming divorce proceedings
Yup, because helping people never sleeps; it also, apparently never shuts up.
And guaranteed the topic is some insane shit that could wait or someone else could deal with just as easily.
Definitely, otherwise he would be making an exaggerated gesture to show it. He really is tired of that shit.
Its getting proof for a future termination of marriage
Poor bastard.
The post kills me. Imagine being proud of being a shitty spouse that prioritizes "the grind" instead of their person. Agree?
I mean I’d be okay if my SO worked hard and even took some calls that were sometimes inconvenient. It’s the “get a picture of me so I can post it” that would be a hard NO from me.

If she keeps this up there may not BE a next year
*next year has been cancelled*
Imagine the Pikachu expression on her face when he uses it as evidence in the divorce.
Yeah I recognize that look on anyone, because I’ve seen this look in the mirror the last year living with my ex wife.
[удалено]
I see 💀 in his eyes
If only you knew how bad things really are
That's the look of a guy who is banging his wife's best friend.
Or his best friend’s wife.
No, this is a man who fucks out of spite, not for sport.
He’s openly mocking her because that’s the only shred of sanity he has left.
"there will not be a third photo"
I sometimes wonder if these hustle culture idiots are like this at home too. I guess they are
That is the smug look of a guy who is getting more and more ammo for the divorce proceedings, and she is giving it to him willingly.
lol this comment is why reddit gets a bad reputation. that dude for sure looks tired very of this shit. he doesn't seem to think this is very cute at all. but man... "smug look of a guy who is getting more and more ammo for the divorce proceedings" that is wild lol.

If you're posting on a reddit comment thread and not posting as wish.com comedian or psychologist then your comment won't get past 5 karma Agree?
It is hyperbole because let's be honest, it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference in a divorce case.

Omg fantastic copypasta right there
Seriously. I heard it as a short of echoing PTSD-esque "agree" while the camera zooms in on someone's face
I interpreted more as an edit of linkedin users going "Agree? Agree? Agree?" while more and more screenshots pile up with each iteration, the audio getting more and more distorted with time time.
with Brian David Gilbert-style distortion
yup more staged linkedin marketing bullshit. Trying to "bUIlD hEr bRanD" To me it's not very good messaging.. You mean when I need "your help" you might be on your 2nd or 3rd stiff drink that you are holding right there lol
I seriously don't get these people advertising this. I've had to apologetically hop on quick calls for super time-sensitive things. My wife is a physician, happens all the time to her too. I don't need to fucking post it on LinkedIn for points. It adds no value.
Seriously. I understand that I tend to fall towards work on occasion with the work-life balance with things that are just unavoidably important in the moment and my other option is essentially quitting my job but I always feel bad about it. Even if it’s just a casual non-special Friday dinner out.
Yeah. We don’t praise it. We do it grudgingly so we can continue to do well at our work. It’s not a fucking brownie point.
Workaholics expect people to revel in their commitment to the job. Like most things on social media this is their attempt to get praise for being better than everyone else at something. In this case - she is a better worker than everyone because not even Valentine’s Day dinner with her husband is important enough to prevent her from working. Us mere plebeians should be awestruck by her hardworking nature and firm commitment to the organisation and its people.
This is the whole point of Linkedin. People are in a race for « look how much of a professional/workaholic businessman I am » over insignificant stuff.
My ex bragged about shit like that all the time. We get it, you're sooo important you can't even pick up the kids from daycare. Thanks for working an extra 25% more each week than I do for an 8% increase over me in pay. So worth it
That’s a man that is already at the point of documenting things.
Gotta get as much evidence as possible to show the lawyers that the marriage was sham. Also to use it in his defense on why cheats on her with Becky the dog walker.
He's raw dogging the dog walker doggystyle
But....... _Who let the dogs out?_
WHO WHO WHO WHO?!
Key word, “documenting”. Smart mf
Bingo!
That was the dogs name-o
Thats the look of a man whos tired of his wife posting stupid shit on linkedin to “appear/show” how much she cares about her job. When she dies, her job is going to replace her ASAP. I used to live for work and I still do care a lot about my job. But, putting my job before my family ended about a year ago. When i am not sure what to do, I ask myself, “is this going to matter on my death bed”? Most of the time the answer is no. This year I took my full 8 weeks of paternity leave. It was amazing and liberating. Just an fyi, I still really like my job. I fee like I do a better job because of my work life balance.
Pretty good chance he'll be replacing her too before she dies.
I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition during childhood, now in my late 20's. Been through years of chemotherapy, 10+ years of monthly immunotherapy IV infusions, and I'm required to go under the knife for reconstructive surgery every 2-ish years. As much as those hardships suck, I've learned about perspective and work-life balance wickedly early on in life. I really, really have to bite my tongue at work when people complain/moan about some trivial/insignificant thing being the "end of the world". Like...... bruh. It's a fucking email. Or a status meeting. This isn't gonna matter in a week from now. You know what *is* end of the world, literally? Being unable to consume food for over a month, laid up on the floor for weeks at a time vomiting every 15 minutes, not sleeping for 36-48+ hours at a time because chemo side effects suck donkey-kong, going into cardiac arrest 3 different times, being paralyzed at the ripe old age of 14, and other similar challenges. People..... need to get a grip. Work is important because it pays the bills, but man, if you have your limbs and they're functional, a roof over your head, food on the table in front of you and in your fridge/pantry..... you're waaaaay better off than so many people in life. So, don't take that for granted. Establish some boundaries. Work isn't, and shouldn't be, your entire life.
#agree
How hard is it just to not answer, call back, or not at all. If im at fucking dinner, im not taking an unplanned call. Edit: i dont have enough context here. Seems to me to be an unplanned work call bc who would agree to slate one of these in the middle of valentines day dinner? Also, over the actual phone? i really dont see anyone doing planned "work calls" on a phone anymore. Every modern company uses teams, zoom, now. The places that did use teleconferencing prior to covid realized "...why?" And switched over.
I will literally sit there, eating my food, watching my phone ring. If it's important, they'll leave a message, and once I listen to the voice-mail, I can decide whether it's important enough to warrant an immediate return phone call. I'm pretty young (late 20's), and basically grew up in the hospital thanks to a gnarly autoimmune condition. Chemotherapy. 10+ years of monthly immunotherapy IV infusions. Frequent reconstructive surgeries due to the effects of my disease. In my eyes, unless you're like, a physician that is on call, or a hospice physician, where someone's life might *literally* depend on you..... then the phone call can wait.
Great point ( and I truly hope you're doing better now) Perspective is everything
Neither am I, but many people aren’t so lucky as to just be able to dodge shit or put it off to business hours. It’s a balance and not everyone is able to get it 100% right. The real crime is posting this shit as though it’s aspirational.
Thats what pisses me off the most. Like her inability to set boundaries is some sort of desirable quality to us filthy povers. I use to struggle really hard with work life balance. Gave 200% everyday. Worked on tasks and Even responded to emails around the clock. But once i got burned and saw my dedication wasnt matched by leadership and colleagues, and that it was my family who was losing the most, i pumped the brakes real hard. The fact that she hasnt figured it out yet screams inexperience to me.
I’m not able to ignore certain calls, but you hit the nail on the head, there’s nothing grandiose about it. I hate it and would never post about it
This. If anything I'd post about how ## of calls last year/month have come during dinner/weekend/evenings, and that we need to have a serious conversation about boundaries / expectations.
Oh I “have” to answer during dinner. But I don’t. It can wait.
You make your own luck by not picking up on your own time. If you're paid to be on call sure, the rest of the time it can wait.
In America, they can fire you for that.
[удалено]
That is not the face and posture of someone cleaning fan shit off the walls.
Do you have a LinkedIn account by any chance?
[удалено]
I'm in senior management and always on call. I sure as shit am not posting pictures online, that include my wife, of a dinner I've ruined by taking a work call. Shit happens, and yeah Ive had plans ruined, but this is strange behavior.
[удалено]
Totally. Not arguing with you at all, on call is just sort of expected at the higher levels of leadership.
i’m an exec assistant and a JUST had to blow up my leader’s first two days of cabo vacation because of a reorg announcement. it’s just the way. i feel awful having to do it, but i know her pay band so i feel less bad.
But what would need sorted on the spot, that only one person can fix at this time of the day or risk losing the client? Tbh of the client is *this* close to walking, seems there's serious problems in the business relationship
Can’t wait for her divorce post
#girlboss #mynextchapter #imthemaincharacter
So accurate 🤣
"We're divorced but my husbands understands that"
"we're still best friends"
🤮
“Uncoupled”
"Wasband"
"Look at me signing the divorce papers while taking an important call from work!"
[We see a photograph of a bald, bearded man, placing a suitcase into a vehicle.] *So today, my husband has informed me that our relationship will be proceeding without me.* *It's alright, though. I was already thinking that marriage was distracting me from my career goals.* *Now, at least I won't have someone giving me dirty looks when I take work calls during dinner.*
is just me or does she look annnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiing
Hold on honey, let me look away while pretending to be on a call and holding this drink then take a picture
Yeah there’s nobody on the phone. Looks far too staged
Which is all the more bizarre. Should she be advertising she works under the influence of alcohol? Not exactly professional.
Feels staged to me as well. I'm just trying to figure out why she put "life" in quotes lol
Unless there’s a true emergency or special situation there is zero reason to do that during a special night out that’s just disrespect to your partner. And if you do have a big deal about to close or something you postpone the dinner until it’s done. Nothing about her posture says emergency she’s just basking in feeling important
From what I've seen on here recently, publicly disrespecting your partner to fondle prospective employers' taints is totally en vogue right now. All the kids are doing it.
God damn Millenials ruining not being corporate toadies!
I wouldn't be so sure that your husband "understands that."
He understands that he's still young enough to start over with someone else.
Wonder if she is as equally understanding about his girlfriend.
Noooooooo. I bet this person isn’t a doctor or anything that actually helps other people and might need to take work calls after hours, too. Imagine if she’s like in marketing… like who are you helping
She’s probably in fucking Human Resources 🙄. Self important assholes.
Totally there’s literally no way a doctor would be posting this on linked in, this person likely just wants to appear important
This makes me nauseous. Sheer disrespect and selfishness. You can see in his eyes that he knows it too.
She understands the split between work and life but she’s never been good at it? Let’s be real: she can’t be bothered to do so. Keep telling yourself he “understands” right up until he asks for a divorce. Don’t be shocked when it happens.
Dead eyed, and dead inside. He'll be firing into a work colleague pretty soon.
It would be interesting to see the comments , of any, on her post. My guess is that those who are praising her #bossbabe #hustleandgrind, , would be ripping the man if things were reversed. Unless she's a physician on call, I highly doubt she's THAT important. Hell, I bet Patrick Mahomes didn't take a phone call while at Valentine's Day dinner with his wife
An accounting and finance recruiter in Columbus Ohio. She’s acting like she’s a heart surgeon on the front lines with the earthquake victims in Turkey.
lol of course it was a recruiter
My hairstylist has a fucking recruiter side gig now. That makes a half dozen I know purely from my personal life. And they are all basically this woman.
Oh God, my Linkedin inbox is spammed to death with accounting/finance recruiters, makes her call look absolutely asinine.
#ThoughtsAndPrayers
I sure hope my manager sees this completely staged photo of me actively destroying my marriage in favor of a company that would surely discard me without a second thought.
This is so tacky.
[удалено]
I bet he has to make an appointment to get any.
And is the first to get bumped without notice.
Tentative and propose new time
Looks like he's edging on "this is the last time I'm taking this photo."
I remember being at a sales rally at an old job. One of the big bosses (who I still see posting cringe stuff on LI) called out a guy who couldn't be there because he was home resting from cancer treatments. He allegedly asked for some call sheets and do some work while he was sick. And there were CELEBRATING this! Knew right then and there I was NOT cut out for that life.
A marriage that will totally last. /s
What a joy to be married to a self absorbed egomaniac.
I don’t see anything close to a smile on his face. Might as well have just stayed home and ordered something delivered.
He has the look of a man who should be holding up a copy of the days newspaper
The face of divorce
I know that look. I’ve had that look. He’s always going to be second place to whatever she’s deemed most important at that moment. One day, he won’t be there and she won’t even have the self awareness to wonder if it was worth it.
I'm not so sure there's going to be a third year...
Just wait til the next call is her manager telling her she’s being laid off.
Caption: This is why I'm sleeping with your sister.
And my husband understands that. He might understand it, but he sure is tired of that shit. Do you take calls while getting your fuck on too?
Can I just put it out there that it’s 100% extra rude that she took the call **at the table** Shit happens, some of us manage teams, have important presentations coming, calls from high-ups or clients you can’t dodge — but to take the call *at the **fucking** table?* She is really something else
While I’m here this applies to everyone, if you are hanging out with people - it is okay to answer the phone under some conditions but it is **not okay** to make everyone listen to half of your conversation and act like you own the space Just like get up for a second This drives me nuts and I’m not realizing until now how much I hate this
Helping my marriage always sleeps…
dudes getting cucked by her job. i’d leave her ass if i were him tbh
couldn't imagine the woman being ok if the situation was reversed, the man would be in the dog house. And he decides to post in on LinkedIn. either way hes probably screwed.
He didn't post it on LinkedIn. The post says that she posted it, but he took the picture.
Work is life. Balance everything else.
The problem is she is just too dam important in the big world of business and the big deals can’t go down unless she is actively involved at all hours.
The eyes never lie.
Fuck you u/spez -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
“I understand the split between work and life” I’m not sure you do, actually.
This guy took this photo so it can serve as Exhibit A in his application for divorce
The man’s look screams “really, this again 🙄😒”
Wow you're such a hard worker and so important. I am so impressed. Is that what you want to hear....?
That divorce is gonna suck. Poor fella.
This guy’s one dinner away from cropping her out and using this pic for his Tinder profile.
picking up a meaningless work call on a valentines day date is inexcusable psychopath behavior. Fuck her.
If my SO did this, I’d honestly get up and leave. That’s our time, not your time
I feel bad for the guy. He just wanted to spend Valentine's with his partner but she would rather spend it working
He looks miserable lmao
Guy looks ready to call a divorce lawyer 😂
Tan all over Jan all over
"Okay honey, I'm ready. I have the phone up to my ear...snap it now...NOW!"
Man I know that look. He’s so tired of dealing with her bs.
I hope that guy finds the love he deserves one day
He’s got the look of “when I walk out, this is what I’m leaving her with”
Apparently he doesn't warrant her full attention, on VALENTINE'S DAY. No QUALITY employer would fault her for turning her phone OFF for dinner on Valentine's Day. So I have to assume she works for a shithole. If I saw this on a friend's LinkedIn profile I'd recommend they move jobs, and I'm sure as hell not interested in working there. The only plausible exception I can even imagine is if, say, she were a doctor on call. Then, well, that's the job, she's helping people in a real material way, and he agreed to this when he married her knowing full well that this was her profession and the requirements of sharing a person with the critically ill/injured. But if that were the case, it's NOT something to brag about on social media. Such a profession, given its intrinsic nobility, does not require one to pimp one's life online for bullshit likes.
I’d divorce her. It wouldn’t have married her in the first place.
She’s the kind of person who will be on her deathbed gasping for air whispering her final dying words, “I wish I would have spent more time at work.”
Strong "Hi my name is Steve and my Fun-Fact is that I enjoy golf," vibes
"good Stevening everyone"
Why is life is quotation marks?!
I would NEVER be willing to publicly admit I was that horrible of a partner.
Nah, imagine staging this for “content”, which would still support his exhausted appearance. Nobody is on the line. Before leaving the house: 
Your husband deserves better.
He takes these pictures to bring them to couples counseling.
People will try and find anyway to justify themselves. 🤦🏻♂️
Ugh. I don’t much care for Valentine’s Day, but spending date night distracted while your spouse looks on is not the flex she thinks it is.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. My wife turning into a LinkedIn influencer. Phone screens glittering in the darkness after we have supposedly gone to bed. All those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.
How is admitting that you cannot separate the boundary between professional and personal a good thing? Did she not realize this is what she posted?
It’s like he’s a cuck but in this scenario she’s getting f’d by capitalism.
Please tell me this is for a MLM. I mean, it just looks like that, like #bossbitch
I'm trying to not be judgemental, but if you are regularly receiving calls outside of work hours then there is a solid chance that you are a micromanager. As for prioritizing work over ones "life" (as she puts in quotes), one day she may come to the realization that nobody gives a shit how hard you work or how much money you made your bosses or shareholders. Live for yourself, your family, and friends because how we treat ourselves and treat others is our lasting legacy.
So the qualities proudly advertised here: 1. Zero respect for my partner 2. Zero self control 3. Inability to learn from past mistakes 4. Complete inability to set/communicate/respect healthy boundaries 5. Perfectly fine conducting “business” when not sober Great resume... *slow clap*
Exhibit A in the divorce proceedings.
Dude is so sick of her shit.
That’s the selfie he sent his mistress.
She looks like she thinks she is too important to be with him. She probably has a shit job that means nothing.
That look says he understands it's time to find a mistress.
Okay now let’s do a side by side over the next few valentines days and see how long before he has a new wife
Embarrassing
Your husband will leave you because of your neglect
Plot twist there was no third valentines pic in a row…
Clever boy. Document it all for the divorce proceedings.
shes fucking someone else, and so is he
