Showerthought: Remember when career progression felt like climbing a visible ladder...

Who knew that climbing the corporate ladder would eventually require a degree in social media marketing? Instead of sucking up to the boss over coffee, now we're all just algorithmically optimizing our personal brands from the solitude of our home offices. It's almost poetic how we've exchanged genuine human interaction for the meticulous curation of digital avatars. The real kicker is when you realize your professional worth is measured in likes and shares. Progress, I suppose, if you consider trading face time for screen time an upgrade.
