      It’s borderline inspirational. It almost makes me want to make a linkedin account just to riff on this for every mundane aspect of my life. I mean I don’t have anything as impressive as a top-25 spot on a Clash of Clans leaderboard, but just because I can’t compete with this guy doesn’t mean I’m unhirable.

      First draft for a pitch:

      Hey hiring managers, have you ever had to deal with ungrateful employees who incessantly whine about needing “sick time” for imaginary problems like “food poisoning”? We’ve all been there. What you need is a guy who is still in sepsis recovery and can barely function day to day to help them realize how good they have it.

      Due to supply-and-demand, you should be ready to make a highly competitive offer. Hourly wages are acceptable with overtime pay over forty hours, and under the agreement that I will be on-the-clock for every hour which I spend recovering from sepsis, which is all of them.

    Tbh after working for decades in the corporate world, I see SIGNIFICANTLY more similarities between that and a fucking game… Or jr high drama, than I do w/ academia.

    Capitalism is a fucking joke and anyone who doesn’t understand it’s a stupid game is delusional

    “I would have hired them, but clearly they spend too much time playing Clash of Clans.”

    This seems to be more of a guy looking for work than a CEO lunatic
