@stux@mstdn.social https://podcastle.org/people/aleks-wittkamp/ Pffffffffffft..Bwahahaha! 'Aleks Wittkamp is out there every night making moves. People wonder how he can possibly kill it so hard, and the only answer he can give them is that he was born to slay. On the rare occasion that his body is tired, he guzzles down a gallon of pineapple juice and dashes off an atomic narrative bomb before getting back out there to crush it some more. He lives his massive life in Toronto, Canada.'

@stux@mstdn.social I genuinely can't tell if it's satire or not and this tells a lot about our world...

@stux@mstdn.social This can be a satirical post or a real one. It's hilarious either way.

@stux@mstdn.social so the shortcut is a rich dad, I’ll get right on that

@stux@mstdn.social He listened to his dad, to eventually discover he was son of a multimillionaire. The time taken for these relevant discoveries is crucial, to show off own abilities. Compared to who never discovers to be mentally retarded, this is a good result.

@stux@mstdn.social I was going to link to more of this guys shitbaggery, but people should just do a websearch. It's really DOGE-y stuff except the US doesn't have a monopoly on this kind of entitled abled white male shithead. He's based in Toronto (don't know where he hails from, though). It is a watercannon of absolute bullshit, but he gets somewhere because he's male, white, and connected.

@stux@mstdn.social Absolutely nothing to do with his dad. He just created value.

@stux@mstdn.social It feels exactly like an Arab country. You can’t get a job unless you know someone inside. But if you have the right connections, you become a prince just because the king kissed your ass. #ArabWorld #Nepotism #Corruption

@stux@mstdn.social The "dad" reference adds absolutely nothing to the author's delusional tale of success. This is the only thing of value he's likely ever created ... and it was inadvertent. Onion-worthy amazing.

@stux@mstdn.social Every company I have worked for has or had nepotism problems. I used "had" in there because some of those companies are no longer in business due partly to nepotism. The employees who got boosted up the ladder by nepotism were mostly dead weight from there on, if they weren't already. Did some value stream mapping with outside consultants at one of those companies. The accurate numbers don't lie. Soon there were some personnel changes made and only one of the nepotism factors remained.

@stux@mstdn.social Let me tell you from experience, he's nothing special. One stumble or medical event and he's gone, and they will replace him in the blink of an eye.

@stux@mstdn.social I'm not saying people like Aleks didn't achieve anything on their own or didn't contribute anything. I'm sure they did something right and helped speed things along. However, I'm also saying that they are DELUSIONAL if they persuade themselves that their results and impacts would have been the same, had the CEO not been their dad. Utterly delusional. And so people like Aleks go forth into this world assuming that everyone could do what they did. Bollocks!

@redwickd@mastodon.social 2026-11-03 14:12
@stux@mstdn.social soooo nepotism then. Not hard work. Nepotism. If you really wanted to prove that you were worthwhile, maybe work at a different company? Just saying.

@stux@mstdn.social I can't tell if this is satire or just a person genuinely lacking self awareness...I mean *three whole years* noodling on projects before his *dad* made him SVP?! Clearly, that's a sign of hard work and talent. lol
-
@borisschapira@framapiaf.org 2026-11-03 14:18
@stux@mstdn.social Or maybe it's satiric, which apparently is not easy for a lot of people to see right away, given the comments.
