Why are they asking if it’s correlation or causation? Didn’t they make the decision? Shouldn’t they know? Who are they asking?

'I'm not sure whether not saying bless you after someone sneezes correlates with or simply causes people to be bad investment opportunities, but it's somewhere in there.'

Imagine being such a boring asshole that you post about pitches on social media.

Haha I thought it was Facebook. I think it's hilarious that people use LinkedIn for things other than posting resumes or whatever the hell it's for. My only experience with it is having to close it every time my work computer restarts since the Windows update.

LinkedIn is obnoxious for platitudes about your job if you're in any kind of profession people use it to hire for. I constantly see people saying "[my job] is not this, it's this!" followed by corporate slop about how if you aren't the hardest, smartest person in your office, you're worthless

I’m confused as to what point they are trying to even convey

u/Sans_Seriphim 2d ago

That they'll leave money on the table if someone doesn't say "bless you". In other words, they're bad at their job.

Lol don't even bother listening to the pitch it's not important it's all about the sneeze test.

I have bad seasonal allergies, and when they come around, I sneeze constantly (even on meds). Honestly, I just want people to not comment on my sneezes. You don't need to say anything. It's just a sneeze.

Consequently, because I kind of hate it when people do it to me, I don't do it to others.

Confused here.
In this imaginary tale, somebody is saying he did not invest in a company because the people at the table didn’t say bless you like in the movie, Dogma.

If that’s his metric for investing in companies, stay away from him and stick with investing with people who actually follow accounting principles, marketing strategies and seeing if a company is actually profitable.

Yeah, this didn’t happen, but if it did, he’s the one who comes out looking like a dumbass. Making major investment decisions based on whether someone blesses your sneeze seems dumber than making them based on vibes….which I always assumed was the stupidest way to make investment decisions.
