Holding a wake for one’s career and inviting people strikes me ad incredibly narcissistic.
- wy35 2y agoI don’t agree. It’s obviously not a “real” wake, just something for friends to hang out and show support. And switching careers often means moving to a different city, so it would be nice to say goodbye to friends who won’t be seen for years (or forever). I’ve been to a couple “deportation parties” for friends who couldn’t get their visas renewed, and it’s sort of the same thing. Mostly lighthearted but a slight somber undertone.
- imwillofficial 2y agoMan, I could see that being somber! That seems like a great way to have a goodbye party.
- iamleppert 2y agoI'm sure the author (in addition to this blog post) posted some trite little post on LinkedIn with a photo of a vista or something. We live in a golden age of narcissism.
