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 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.
Fess up
I shat my pants
Admit mistakes
I thought it would just be a fart
Reassess direction
I should probably not go to that meeting right now
Time-bound
I have 90 seconds until that shart starts to leek out of my pants
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.
Farting is a metaphor for when you actually fart.
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 fart in my bossโs general direction.
