Fuck, dude. I just hope this is a satire account and some doctored image.
I work with tech bros.
They flex nonstop about how many life events they miss to be at work. It's like a badge of honor to say stupid shit like "Ah my 4 YO is in the ER but I know how important this meeting is..."
Not to that extreme, but I've seen one say how their kid cried because they were away working on some tech bro stuff, and they never want their kid to go through that again. Except they didn't have to do it in the first place anyway. It was literally a choice. They chose work because it was fun.
And the meeting is just some dumbass monthly progress review where section heads brag about what 'they' (their team) accomplished in the last month, with at least half of it being bullshit, exaggeration, or preemptively taking credit for what they're probably totally going to do next month. Nothing would change if the meeting was entirely cancelled and skipped.
It's all about quantity in corporate. Performative employees get further quicker compared to quiet ones that actually deliver quality output.
