No way this is real.
Is...... is it?
Read the first sentence of the comment.
I read it...
Meaning, there are actually stories just like this one. Right? Or are they being pedantic in their likeness? (I hope the latter...)
Exaggeration is being used for comedic effect.
No, I got that part. Sorry. I don't think I'm explaining myself properly. Has a similar story been posted with the same "I'm an awesome manager" pretense that they're specifically making fun of, or is the post making fun of the types of posts on LinkedIn in general? I think, if I'm understanding the responses here correctly, it's the latter and I just took it too literally.
I think it's the latter.
Understood. Thanks for taking the time here. I promise I wasn't trolling. I know it sounded like it, but I genuinely misunderstood.
I'm in your boat often enough. Sometimes a post assumes familiarity with a context and it may be hard to figure out the intent or sincerity without that familiarity.
no the "xyz be like" phrasing implies means it's parody
It’s technically a strawman argument.
I've seen sadly similar stories spouted...
It can't possibly be a strawman argument, it's not even an argument at all
Straw man fallacy then?
The word you're trying to shoehorn strawman into is "sardonic".
It's ragebait
