As someone else asked: OP, do you really believe this content?

Aside from how horrible and shortsighted this reasoning is, I also need to ask:

If a stranger asked you who you work for, would you answer?

Me? I just thought it was an obvious joke. The person who posted it is clearly not making a serious claim of more that 700% profit in a year. It's just some light teasing.

It is an obvious joke, I thought it was funny and didn't realize this was going to be so controversial until I looked at the comments

There's a ton of "guilty conscience needs no accuser" work from home folks in these comments who had this go way over their heads.

I saw the top post as a joke, the bottom I'm not sure about.

And what fucking analyst is walking around asking people sunbathing questions themselves?

[–] CraigeryTheKid@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I get told to go away, or worse, whenever I approach sunbathing women.

"Leave me alone!"

"Stop taking pictures!"

People are just so rude these days.

Have you tried reminding them that there's no expectation of privacy in public spaces? I'm sure they'd be much more understanding then.

/s since we're being very literal in the comments today

They'd just buy some mobile phone data: "Give me the current location of every phone that was within fifty metres of my rival company's christmas party last year"

I'll respond to the last question: yes. I might lie, but I'll answer.

In fact, I was at Ikea the other day and a rando asked where I worked, so I told them about the business, but my the name of the company. It turns out they studied something relevant, so we had an interesting conversation.

The company I work for is big enough they wouldn't be able to dox me or anything, but it is something I'm willing to discuss.

As to the first, I also saw it as 100% a joke, just like the OP. It's just a funny thought, that's all.
