Could you go a year without a new certification, interview, award, or promotion and be OK with yourself for it?

Yes. Easily. My job isnt my whole life, as long as I feel good about the work I did over the year, I see no reason to change.

Would you think about a colleague, direct report, friend, or spouse differently for doing so?

No. Absolutely not. In fact, I'd be more worried that they'll burn out if all they think about is this shit, and tell them to get a hobby that isn't related to their job so that they can direct that energy somewhere other than getting pieces of paper that say "I can job good"

What a happy person. Thank god I don't give a shit about any of this crap. I am a high performing woman, the difference is that I only.highly perform stuff that I care about and love doing, like social life, hobbies, sleeping and being happy.

I find this personally insulting and hate this mentality. If the company isnt footing the bill, ill keep current and progress my skills how ever I like. In my case, homelab, which while not paying someone for a fancy piece of paper, has usefull skills and real services.

Ahhhhh... People who think like this are why the Peter Principal exists...

“Founder & CEO @ Hacker in Heels”

Yikes

I hate my bitch husband.

what's standing in the way of MY ability to be content without conventional markers of accomplishment?

Great question, I'd guess it is the terror our culture and economy instills in people, and the idea that your primary worth as a person is as a financial investment.

JFC what a sociopath.

... is this not supposed to be self introspection about how her implied women (anyone really) feel like they need to work harder or have clear tangible adult gold stickers to not hate themselves?

This feels like a stretch for a sub that's supposed to try to blast crazy people.

I don't know if I'd think differently of someone for it, but I'd certainly think differently of someone for posting about it on LinkedIn.

None of the things she’s listed equate to actually doing a good job or being productive, it’s all just stuff for putting on a CV.

Nobody ever went to their deathbed wishing for more certifications.

This is satire.... I hope...

She's a mentor..I doubt she's ever actually done any cybersecurity work other then read about it, and tell others how she's read about it and how to go about reading the same things she does.

I'm really sorry, but "Stacey Champagne" sounds like the stage name of a porn star. 💀

What an absolute cretin.

There is a sketch in Poland about freudian slips. Two guys are talking in a bar about them, one tells a story of him dancing in a club, seeing an attractive blonde, approaching her, wanting to say "can I have this dance?" but instead saying "can I have this breast?", getting slapped and wasting his "chance". So the other, married dude goes "oh yeah I know that feel, I wanted to ask my wife to pass the salt but I thought about other things and instead I said 'you old whore you wasted 30 years of my life'".

It feels to me like the dude will have a similar freudian slip at some time of his life.

I edited the title from Woman to Cybersecurity Founder and CEO since the focus should really be more on judging the marriage than the gender of the person judging.

Sorry.

Ugh. She sounds exhausting to be around.

What a toxic biznitch. Kick her butt to the curb and start over.
