All billionaires but not all CEOs

Edit: I have my own LLC but I don't have any employees. I could, technically, call myself a CEO and that would be valid. Should I be hanged?

Should I be hanged?

Only if you really want to be. Maybe you're into that? You should probably use a buddy system, though.

Yeah, my second friend to die went out via autoerotic asphyxiation. Be careful with it.

Maybe just choked a little bit. Like, medium-choked at most.

Same for me, I'm with you

No idea, why I should be hanged, because the only person I'm abusing is myself...

This is easy.

Do you call yourself a CEO? If yes, then yes. If no, then no. 👍

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope you don't actually believe that.

Not that it matters but I don't. My parents got me a little plaque for my desk that says "ramenshamen, , CEO" which is kinda fun but I'm just a guy. I don't walk around introducing myself as a CEO of a company where I'm the only employee.

I don't think you are really grasping how much people hate anyone even slightly associated with ceos.

Even if you just play act as them.

Not saying you're a bad person, but maybe distance yourself from the embodiment of parasitism.
