The sad thing is, this kind of stuff was encouraged in the previous company that I worked for when I got promoted to a certain level. 'Be a thought leader', 'represent the company and influence the industry' was the standard directives the leadership team were given.

On one hand, it's funny to see the ones that made the company their whole identity, only to then leave for a competitor and make the new place their identity.

On the other hand , it's sad that a lot of people that are hiring (in my line of work at least), are impressed by these crappy posts and the people posting it tend to get more exposure and get hired quicker.
