Right it's still reeking of the usual LinkedIn vibe ("my infinite wisdom will change your life!") but at least it's factual stuff and humorous.
I mean I kind of get the metaphor and appreciate the idea of being the kind of leader that people can feel comfortable around, but there's got to be better ways of expressing that.
Depends on how you define "better".
More polite? Sure. More relatable to a wider audience? Honestly, probably not. Everyone farts. And those who don't are dirty dirty liars.
I was expecting the twist to be that fart was an acronym. Like:
Fess up
Admit mistakes
Reassess direction
Time-bound
A good leader is willing to have a F.A.R.T. discussion.
This is why I fart constantly whenever I'm in the office. Not only am I asserting dominance, but I'm setting an example for the junior engineers.
Broke: not farting in the office
Woke: farting in the office
Bespoke: sharting in the office
I have noise cancelling headphones and am used to working mostly at home. Sometimes I wonder if I've ever accidentally ripped a doozy in my cube without realizing it.
I accidentally hit my vape when we experimented with BTO at my last employer. Luckily, I was the first one in and the back door was nearby, so I just rushed outside to exhale. Vaping at home while working had become my norm.
And in true Michael Scott fashion, below the veneer of inappropriate immaturity, there is nascent wisdom.
Are your respect based on the ability to contain flatulence? You do you, I just hope that any lactose intolerant people around you stay away from that sweet lactose :P
