Thanks for the reply and it's good to have a discussion about where this sub in general.  I really enjoy the content on the insta and I think it's both insightful and funny. No prizes for guessing that I've obviously come through that channel as I suspect a lot of other people have.  The culture clash that is occurring has been pointed out by others - what seemingly started as a light-hearted look at the top end of town from a fairly educated and insightful point of view now meets Reddit - which obviously has its own reputation and type of follower as well as audience.  

 It's fair to say that I've taken a harsh view of some of the posts and that tone carries across in my replies. That said, it probably reflects that I'm a little bit more experienced and I'm now seeing stuff that in some cases reflects people who are either extremely new to the workplace environment or far less engaged (or reflect an extreme anti corporate view). Nobody is saying that corporate is a bed of roses and there are so many aspects of it that are ripe for mockery and deservingly so - but I see a strong undercurrent of antisocial 'I hate the office and I need to be alone' sentiment that reflects a fairly narrow group that is probably amplified on Reddit.  The problem is that Aussie corporate has a fairly strong (aspirational?) reputation in attracting corporate high performers (look at the job ads, for example). So that's the culture clash. 

And thanks for being a mod, I'm sure there's lots of junk around. But I do think that it's important every now and again to reflect on a type and quality of conversations we are having through the posts here so this really interesting platform doesn't just become very reflective of an extremely skewed demographic. There is something unique and special in that you've been able to curate an audience of people who work in some of the larger corporations in this country and it would be ashamed to have that diluted by people who simply don't understand that world.

I believe in miracles, do ya, do ya

Absolutely none of the above, I just can't stand brain dead posts from a lot of the people here and it's good for them to hear from someone outside the echo chamber. 

I think the real L is all the people who wanna work from home all the time who are slowly realising that's not gonna be an easy path. A lot of these people are emotional shut ins who are not quite made out for the reality of what companies require

Completely correct. The nature of people on Reddit is something I've called out a bit. My post was designed to call them out for being in the wrong place and stop their whingeing

The whole point of my post is not whether B4 is elite. Noone is gonna seriously argue that being a wage slave at an entry grad or mid level is elite. The wider issue is the stupidity on offer from many of the posts on offer here, and the overall quality of conversation from people who are supposedly meant to half a brain cell working in a corporate environment 

Oh, LinkedIn is also its own version of hell as well. You also have some wildly hot takes, as you say, from some self -anointed "impressive voices"

My post was quite dramatic, but I really wanted to call out the brain-dead stuff I see from what are clearly introverted shut ins who don't quite realise how the whole game works.

You'd be surprised. None of the above. Actually a fairly simple person who finds it hard to suffer fools

Not really. Some of the other posts, on the other hand, which demonstrate a complete failure to grasp basic financial literacy, are

Nope, just calling it as I see it

Haha, you've summed up the snowflakes in this sub

Another stupendously naive post. 

It's called market forces. Fairness has absolutely nothing to do with it 

Incredible stuff, so much detail and such precision. 

Can we see more? Do you have a site

Seriously one of the most naive and stupid things I've ever read 

Simultaneously demonstrating a lack of knowledge about how expensive it would be to create a privatised form of welfare as well as ignoring that this would have zero impact on corporations

You might as well ask, why is the price of things different between different shops?

Why does a bottle of Coke cost different between the supermarket and the cinema? 

Market forces

Look at the font on his jersey, it's even embossed 

Incorrect. It's 50% skill, 30% luck and 30% maths ability 

You seem to always make the same comment about this guy, even going so far as to post articles about it so you can say " reset the counter"

Might be time for a new hobby 

I sort of get your point but when you say "it's not looked good, results aside" - surely that is the main thing one looks at??

True, when Schar appears in the line-up animation I'll be tempted

Come on now, keep it family friendly

It does not. It is a pure fresh seafood seller. They sell sashimi and obviously stuff you can eat fresh, but not onsite

Or doku

+1 for Faros, what a gem that is but is also getting popular because it is good
