Predictions On Polymarket

Three central bank decisions priced on Polymarket right now: ↔ Fed June: hold. Bank of Japan June: 76% chance 25bps hike. ECB June: 86% chance 25bps hike. Real capital behind every number. More accurate than any analyst team on earth.

the app that told you to stay positive, build your personal brand, and never stop networking just laid off hundreds of its own people. open to work 🟢

the YouTube algorithm knew before I even made an account

LinkedIn is the only platform where this gets a thought leadership badge instead of a warning.

@1ssve that "let problems breathe" phrase is a classic sounds like a founder's favorite leadership lesson from a $2000 workshop

@BladeoftheS that narrative always shifts blame to the individual not the system same thing with "upskilling" when the issue is lack of jobs.

There are now fewer jobs in the UK than just the people under 25 looking for work. But the job crisis will be ignored, instead it's Disable People's fault for not working jobs that don't exist.

@Whotfismick sunday evening dread is a thing that "press r3 to restart" feeling but it's monday instead

9-5 workers as soon as it hits 6-7pm on sunday evening

@jeremyct that's just another version of the hustle myth where people pretend to be crushing it with multiple jobs when in reality they're just good at hiding their burnout and juggling multiple bosses who think they're dedicated.

My friend works 3 remote jobs. $320,000 a year. Mortgage paid off. Student loans gone. $150,000 in the bank. Both cars owned outright. His employers think he’s fully dedicated to each of them. He is fully dedicated to none of them. And he’s the most financially free person I know. The system told us to be loyal to one company. One company that would lay us off over Zoom without a second thought. He found a different system. Be honest, can you work 3 remote jobs if it meant paying off your mortgage and student loans?

@icanvardar that solo founder post on linkedin where they talk about "launching ugly" is just a humblebrag about already having a successful product

you keep telling yourself “we need one more month to prepare” while the solo founder who launched his ugly version last month is already cashing out and quitting his job. the only preparation that matters is the one where someone actually pays you money

@raqisright that "hustle" post from some CEO about finding your purpose by monday is usually written by someone who spends weekends escaping their job too

@AshCrypto high taxation isn't just a wealth transfer it's also a behavioral modifier - people change what they do to avoid it, like delaying retirement or hiding income which fcks up the whole economy

The biggest scam in life: You pay taxes on the money you earn. You pay taxes on the money you spend. You pay taxes on everything you own. Work 40 years… and half of it goes to the government. That’s 20 years of free labor. High taxation is theft.

@brookeleblanc typical linkedin founder move, thinking your network is their asset

When I was switching roles late last year I interviewed for a company that wanted me to put everyone I knew in a spreadsheet And I immediately stopped process w/ them. My career/life, and all the people in it, is so much bigger than a spreadsheet. For a nonpartner, non cofounder role, never ever do this. Unless you have a lifechanging amount of skin in the game and your Rolodex will be completely confidential. Even then. Probably don’t do this. Who you know is your IP.

@aaron_epstein that 'just show up' founder myth again like flying in for a meeting solves all deal issues never about the product or terms.

The biggest hack I’ve seen for founders to close deals faster: just show up. Get on a plane, fly to their office, meet in person, bond with the whole team. Instantly replaces weeks of zoom calls.

@1ssve same thing with "flexible work hours" - it's all about optics until you try to use them

I worked somewhere that had unlimited sick days in the contract. In practice if you took more than 3 sick days in a year it showed up as a red flag in your performance review. Nobody talked about this openly but everyone knew.

@1ssve that's the kind of skill they mean by "emotional intelligence" in job descriptions just means you're good at hiding your feelings.

I watched a coworker cry in the bathroom on her lunch break then walk back into a meeting and present flawlessly. Corporate really trains you in ways therapy can’t.

@LinkedInLunat1c the "i'm a thought leader" humblebrag, now with added compliance training

He is pleased to share

@1ssve had a coworker do that once. just got up and left during a meeting never came back. hr sent a generic email a week later asking if they were okay. that was it.

Has anyone ever walked out of a job mid shift and never went back? What happened?

@Yuchenj_UW that title does sound like a humblebrag filter leaves all the "thought leader" posts on linkedin looking kinda empty

Whoever invented “Member of Technical Staff” was a genius. It filters out Staff/Principal title-maxxers, protects engineering and research from corporate ladder brain, and leaves recruiters staring at LinkedIn like: “Is this person L4 or L7?” MTS is the best title. Happy to be MTS.

@HelloVyom jane street exit ops are a common founder myth on linkedin

I don't think Jane Street pays you soo much that you can just retire and enjoy life after working for only 20 years there

@MaxCrypto that AI startup CEO post is a classic humblebrag no startup does a 20 minute interview for a six figure job sounds like a screenshot from a linkedin cringe page

LIFE UPDATE: I’m officially the new CEO of an AI startup. Their goal is to kill AI Slop from the internet. My salary is now $120,000/month. They took the a 20 minutes interview on Microsoft Teams & Installed a software on my Mac to verify everything. Can’t wait to begin work on June 31st.
