A friend and I have a mini-hobby of sharing these with each other under the title of “Today in Thanking Myself”. The highest level are the ones where people pimp out their own families for LinkedIn karma

Thank you! I was actually considering starting a blog to collect them, glad to see that someone has stepped up and done it already.

This is so nauseatingly entertaining, and a distillation of similar bullshit I've encountered freelancing for various agencies and startups.
It feels like this field is ripe for trolling - people making fake accounts and making similar inspirational posts that are a bit too outlandish but could almost be real.
Or maybe these troll accounts exist, but the posts are indistinguishable from the real thing...

That’s by far the worst. Something bad happens to their family and they make a post about it! I have seen examples too terrible to post as a comment (assume something very bad happened and the next day theres a post on jt)
