I've just discovered the Paramotor Community.

It's a group of white male libertarians who don't need no book-lernin. They record themselves in their self-taught flying, during which they bitch about FAA regs and persecution by licensed pilots who sight them and report their ill-advised and illegal ventures into the national airspace to the FAA. Which is hilariously easy to prove as they love to share videos of themselves for likes and subscribes and prosecution.

And then they crash and post their crash to YouTube. And they learn precisely nothing. And every single one of them eventually crashes. And none of them know how to edit their videos for time.

Wow. I kinda want to give it to them, these dumb fools who want to fly, but yeah that's so dumb.

In the suggested videos is this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8GlZBKLieo climbing up to 15,000 feet in his lovely paraglider. He even mentions "making sure to be clear of air traffic" like there's gently caress-all he can do about it in that thing.

And then the next suggested video? "I've been reported to the FAA... three times!" lmao. You got balls kid but one thing goes wrong and you're toast.

Apparently he's internet famous. His first crash was on a golf course. He also decided to video record himself dropping poo poo while he was flying one time, for views. He also doesn't understand how the FAA works and how every infraction is additive until they finally drop the hammer. He legit doesn't get that it is most convenient and cost effective to the FAA if he kills himself, but they will act if he endangers others to the point where they have to act to stop him.

He also violated a NOTAM and was intercepted by the military, so he's not the shiniest spoon in the drawer.

i live in podunk nc and I got to watch a guy flying a go cart with a hang glider attached get shouted at to land by some sheriffs deputies. He didn't and he took down a bunch of wiring going to someones house when he crash landed so they turned him in. He got off w/ paying fines.

Incredibly surreal to see and no one believed me when I tried to tell the people in the ice cream store I was going to.

You didn't say what I think you said...
That lovely manager said:

"I also thought that her years of experience were irrelevant; she didn’t have anything beyond a bachelor’s degree (most of us were smart and dedicated enough to get a masters) and her experience was in a different subset of insurance."

As someone who started working in his field right out of high school and now can pretty much do anything and everything involved in his line of work after 25 years of experience, this is maddening.

Congratulations, you and your 'team' of sadbrains spend untold thousands on an education where someone with a 'mere' bachelors degree can do your job better and more efficiently to the point that you literally admit that's the case when asked about it.

And you and your clown car crew literally bully her into quitting, thinking no one would ask questions or notice that the best employee you have is getting the hell out?

Absolutely incredible. The fact she took the entire shithouse down when she left is purely perfect.

I"ve seen so, so many kids show up for the first day on the job at my workplace so woefully unprepared and unqualified for their position despite all their years of college and university that my earlier career decisions are vindicated over and over again, almost on an annual basis at this point.

Wow, you can discuss Plato and ancient poetry all day and you are an authority on the history of Mesopotamian developments as societal norms, but you need a full day to write a 300 word filler article on recent forest fire alerts? So sad to see you go, Captain Incompetent.

In case anyone was wondering it's from a youtube video called "NANA CAR CRASH PRANK!!' by noted prankster/"social experimenter" Ben Phillips. His other videos include such hits as "HE SPRAYED 1000 D*CKS ALL OVER MY HOUSE **PRANK!**", "20,000 BEES ATTACKED MY BRO! **PRANK!**", "HE BURNT ORPHANS CLOTHES **PRANK!**", "SUPERGLUED MY BRO TO A DWARF! **PRANK!**", "MY BRO HAD A POO IN A SUPERMARKET! **PRANK!**", "SUPERGLUED HIM TO THE TOILET **PRANK!** (RAGE)" and so on and so forth.

I didn't watch the video and I'm not going to post a link because gently caress this dumb rear end in a top hat.

Maybe, but is someone who specifically points out an employee's experience and ability to connect with clients/be liked by other higher up as flaws really oblivious? Or is she pulling our collective leg?

She writes well and has a graduate degree as per the story. Definitely reeks of troll, oblivious people don't leave so many giant obvious breadcrumbs for strangers to really dig into. This troll checked too many boxes. You gotta calibrate!!

Every follow up just gets more obviously tastier too. I don't buy it either even though I am all too familiar with the phenomenon of perfectly mediocre, insufferable, and downright terrible people generally finding a whole lot more success in middle management than in any other role they have ever held.
