Today I published an interview with an anonymous Meta employee who has worked at the company for over a decade and wanted, for the first time ever, to let the world know how horrible it feels to be inside. https://t.co/eXXPbiQhmV
Paul
You peaked at Engagement Manager at McKinsey
In 2015
During the easiest economic conditions in a century
Your other credential is Operations Manager at Amazon
40,000 people hold that title simultaneously
That is your resume
That is what you are standing on when you tell strangers how to conduct themselves professionally
You have publicly discussed failing with matchmaking services
You have posted multiple times about entitled women
You pay for a service designed to produce dates and it produces nothing and you blame the product
The man who cannot generate interest through a system engineered to generate interest is giving unsolicited professional advice to strangers at midnight
You look like you moderate 4 Discord servers
You post like someone whose opinions have never been requested in a room with a door
You carry the energy of a man who corners people at conferences and doesn't notice them looking for the exit
Then you posted a 7-tweet thread about social media killing $300K job offers
You used your own social media to publicly police a stranger's selfie
And then lectured the internet about how employers judge social media
You are the red flag in your own thread
I scrolled through the profile you decided to correct
It is mostly pictures/selfies of her running
Running consistently
Which if your McKinsey brain could still produce a thought without a 2x2 matrix you would recognise as a signal of discipline, accountability, and someone who can commit to something long term
That is literally the trait you claim to value in your thread about professional credibility
And you looked at it and saw a selfie problem
Because your pattern recognition is so broken by whatever is happening in your personal life that you cannot process a woman being visible without experiencing it as something that needs to be corrected
You absolute fucking moron
The information was right there
You had the data
You drew the wrong conclusion
That is not a social media literacy issue
That is a you issue
And it explains the matchmaking results better than anything I could write
If I was hiring and saw a candidate doing what you did I would pull the offer before the background check finished
Zero social calibration
Zero awareness of how unsolicited corrections land
HR incident within 90 days
"Could care less if you listen"
It is "couldn't care less"
"Could care less" means you care
Based on 4 follow-up replies to someone who was clearly not interested you care significantly
About a stranger's selfie
At midnight
"Genuine feedback from a place of kindness"
Every person who cannot mind their own business uses this sentence
It is not kindness
It is the compulsion to correct people who did not ask by someone whose authority to correct is visible to nobody except himself
The Halo Effect is one of the most documented cognitive biases in existence
Decades of research
Every industry
Presentation affects perception
You know this
You resent it
And you process that resentment by lecturing strangers instead of fixing yourself
Paul
You are a loser
I say this because the pattern is specific
A man who is unhappy
Who cannot generate the respect he believes he deserves
Who processes that by diminishing strangers who did nothing to him
It has never worked
It will never work
You are the common variable in every failed interaction you have described on this platform
And maybe if you stopped spending your evenings correcting strangers on the internet and started being a genuinely decent person things would change
Not because you learned a technique
Because you became someone people don't instinctively avoid
That is the only thing that has ever worked
It is free
It requires becoming less of what you currently are
You are not going to do this
You are going to read this and feel attacked and post something about how "the haters prove the message resonated" and learn absolutely nothing
Because that is what you do
That is all you do
NGMI
Everyone can see it Paul
Except you
I scrolled through the person's profile you decided to correct
Most of the pictures are running content
That is someone who gets up and runs
That is discipline
That is accountability to yourself
That is the exact quality you claim to value in your shitty thread about high-performance careers
A person who runs consistently and posts about it is demonstrating the same trait you lecture people about from your McKinsey Engagement Manager pedestal. but your ex-consulting brain can't produce that thought without a 2x2 matrix and a hypothesis-driven framework to arrive at a conclusion that a normal human being sees in 3 seconds
you are genuinely never going to make it, to the place where you think your heading
and speaking of things you produced that nobody asked for
"I wrote the book nobody in a corner office wants you to read"
"Reviewed by 7 consulting partners and PE MDs who refused to be named"
Refused to be named
7 people reviewed your book and not a single one of them was willing to have their name associated with it publicly
You framed this as mystique
This is not mystique
This is 7 people who read your book and said "sure Paul it's fine but please do not tell anyone I was involved"
that is a restraining order from your own endorsers
"Every email you send is a power move. Most people just don't know the rules"
You are writing about email power moves
In 2026
A man who peaked at middle management 12 years ago wrote a book about email strategy and got 7 anonymous reviews from people who are embarrassed to know him and then went on the internet to tell a stranger that their selfie is unprofessional
This is the most complete portrait of a man who has absolutely nothing going on that I have ever assembled and I did not have to try hard because you provided all the materials yourself
You are a clown Paul
An actual clown
With a book nobody will read
Reviews nobody will claim
Opinions nobody requested
And a matchmaking profile that produces the same results as your career advice: nothing, for anyone, ever
Everyone can see it
Except you
This is her vaginal microbiome report. 100/100 score.
Top 1% of all vaginas.
Her sample is dominated by the single most protective bacterial species a vagina can host (Lactobacillus crispatus).
Only about 25-30% of reproductive age women globally are L. crispatus-dominant, and “dominant” usually means above 50%. Kate is at 98.7%.
The lab found nothing bad to report. (no gardnerella, Candida, STIs, opportunistic pathogens, aerobic vaginitis markers, etc.)
This is linked to lower risk of BV, UTIs, yeast infections, HPV persistence, HSV-2 and HIV acquisition, preterm birth, and improved IVF outcomes.
A vaginal microbiome is downstream of everything: sleep, glucose control, stress, gut health, sexual health, immune function, what you eat, and what you put in it.

I don't work with @PhoebeAdellle at KV and I didn't really get the pitch. But I'd be pushing KV to get our money out if she said yes to this!
That would show she has no concept of capital.
Here, she shows up as an operator who understands the levers of her business.
10 days ago, I stepped down from being the CRO of @Cluely.
After a yc fintech at 16, scaling legacy co's, and supporting 8 figure deals, Cluely was a one of a kind experience.
@im_roy_lee and @neelyweely23 truly think, live, and build differently. I'm wishing the tribe the best.
I'm excited to pursue hard problems in new industries this year. TBA soon : )
As much as I dislike Cluely - the desire to win is admirable. All the virtue signally fuckers should just keep their mouth shut and watch the market playout.
@Andrey__HQ would you rather have 1,000 people your app or nobody use your app?
the alternative to 1,000 people having a bad experience is nobody having any experience.
and the upside is that just a few people have good experiences, which is often all you really need.
At least once a week someone pitches me an “AI roll-up.”
And almost every time, the person has never built anything with AI… and has never rolled up a single business.
Very few understand the unsexy work a roll up brings: integration, pricing, culture, systems, debt, churn, real AI workflows.
Feels like this is the new “I got an mba and want to buy an hvac business”
tech used to feel awesome because you could be from some random ass high school and make cool things
now it feels like people care about what college / accelerator / VC ppl just raised from. i hate that
@EvanZhao6 Literally this guy is a shit grifter and the worst type of founder. Anyone seriously considering joining please send them my way.
Fired from SKIO.
On his knees begging for more money.
Current team quit.
Pivots from AI to ad agency and is now pivoting to AI after seeing Sora.
Just wrapped an interview with a candidate.
Palo Alto born & raised, Palo Alto High school, Ivy League CS, internships at tier-1 startups & ai labs.
On the call he literally melted down from the pressure.
Parents, peers, expectations, he was completely overwhelmed.
Palo Alto parents, please love your kids.
Please put aside your own ego and just love them.
