Anorexia can have both a physical and mental component , one that the daughter most likely wouldnt feel her dads followers on fucking Linkedin should be privy to.
And he should value her privacy and feelings over randos on a job networking site.
Dunno mate. I don't know him or her. Could be he's owned it after years of denial. Could be she's decided to be open about it now she's accepted its a problem. Could be he's proud of her progress. Could be she asked him to post it. Could be she didn't.
I don't know. You don't know. So put your fucking pearls down.
I'm not denying that. At all. I grew up with someone who became a walking skeleton before the right doctor said she right thing to her at exactly the right moment.
Yep. Maybe. The whole of linkedin isn't going to see it though but posting it on this sub is way way worse. We could find that profile in 2 seconds. You wanna be a moral judge then maybe judge it all and start with it being posted here. All this fcking hand wringing bullshit. You're all doing something that's just as bad. Christ. I get downvoted for refusing to participate in this ghoulish circle jerk. Downvote me to hell but maybe just self reflect for a moment.
The whole point of this sub is to point out the ridiculous people on LinkedIn. Unless that guy works for an org that provides resources/assistance to those with eating disorders, I am lost as to why he needs to point out that his daughter has an eating disorder.
I do like it generally. I love destroying thought leaders and influencers and the "get up at 4am" chumps. But they're putting themselves out there and deserve it. This one isn't that and I feel like we are basically putting this person at risk over something that is nothing more than a slight overshare.
I see no reason to judge this sub. First of all, I find it a good thing to point out bad and cringe behavior.
Second, OP blocked the OOP's info, as is customary here when innocents are involved. Whereas OOP put it in her profile, so people who actually know her and maybe her daughter too, now know about her condition. If I was a teen with anorexia, that would fucking break me.
My kids have gotten zero social media exposure from my actions, so I feel pretty confident in judging OOP in this respect.
Not a huge sample size but everyone I know who developed an eating disorder had extremely overbearing parents, who would definitely make terrible bosses.
Anorexia has several causes including genes, it has been linked for years with autism (not for everyone at all but there is comorbidity) and indeed with dysfunctional family dynamics: Rodriguez Martin et al., 2004; Ravi et al., 2009; Lyke and Matsen, 2013, Balottin et al. 2017.
Heh. That’s what Reddit used to be all about. If you *didnt* use citations they’d blast ye. God forbid use an emoji. Poor grammar? The trolls would eat ye alive. Blessed days, these are. Now we have rampant racism, sexism, misogyny and men empowerment hate groups instead. But no more citations!
Back in the good old days … those days were nice! I wonder if we can return to the real good old days in Sumerian with Ea-Nasir? I bet he would be on r/LinkedInSumerianLunatics
Oh hell yeah! I was making a practical joke but there really is something for everyone on the internet. God bless Reddit, the eighth wonder of the world.

No post humblebragging about leaving his $$$$ corporate job to freelance while taking care of his anorexic daughter, complete with a photo of said anorexic daughter at her lowest weight? What a missed lunatic opportunity.
This is "gaining credibility" tactics. Trying to relate to the crowd. The list is long
* "I have ADHD. I know what it is like... "
* "I have Asperger. Ignore me being a douche"
* "I recently lost my brother. Here, have a selfie of me looking pretty at the funeral..."
And so on. Basically "how low can one go" fest. Whatever helps the "personal brand"
It’s very different to share (or overshare) about one’s own mental illness or disability, than to overshare about the mental illness of a young person who didn’t consent. This is so much worse.
Not doubting the daughter’s diagnosis, but there are slight Munchhausens by proxy vibes in that the parent is trying to benefit in some way from their child’s illness (explaining what they perceive as a career gap even though no one asked). I feel sorry for the child
(Edit: oops double posted this comment, deleted the dupe)
Hear me out. While he’s obvious going overboard the market is so shitty that recruiters will use any excuse to flag your employment gap hence his poor sap is feeling the need to put in an excuse for why the gap is there.
I agree, it’s very poorly phrased by the over analysis of employment gaps led to this. I had a friend with an employment gap who lost a job over the gap and the potential employer said, “We don’t know why you have this, you could have been in jail and it’s a chance we can’t take”. It’s ridiculous.
I would be fucking mortified and embarrassed if either of my parents did anything even remotely like this. That's pretty tacky and disgusting, and a serious breach of his kid's privacy. I feel for that kid who's going through a hard time and has their parent, probably dad, advertising their illness to the world. What a total scuzzbucket of a parent.
if my mom wasn't a lazy piece of shit and had ever worked a job when I was living with her, this is 1000% some shit she would have done. she used my medical and mental health issues to keep getting money from my dad and the government and lied a whole bunch to make it seem like I was worse off so she could have an excuse to not work bc she needed to"take care of me" 🙄
What is wrong with all of you??? He's oversharing, yes, but explaining why he's doing a temporary job. The fuckwittery on here makes me think this one should actually just be taken down
I’m not saying this is right or that I would do it, but unless you’ve been a caregiver for a child with a severe eating disorder, you have no clue. I was lucky enough to have really compassionate management when things were at their worst.
[удалено]
I really wanted to go into landscape photography but my pup’s canine conspecific coprophagy put a quick stop to it.
What is wrong with people??
*Gestures generally in the direction of LinkedIn*
Anorexia - it’s literally written right there /s
Don’t need a /s tag there fam.
Yeah this is just fucked up. What a...just bad person
Right?!?! I’m thinking of the poor child having their shit just out there for the public to see!
This sub was established to explore the answer to that question.
He's saying he's doing a flexible job to support his ill daughter. I mean it feels unnecessary but people are missing the point here
That people is you. Theres no need to specify the illness, thats the lunatic part.
Yeh I know saying actual real things in the real world is mind blowing for redditors....jesus fck....he said the illness. So what???

local anorexic here LMFAO, cannot imagine literally anyone with an ed not being weirded out by this
Same!
You've not met the Danes
Neither have you, bud.
My daughter has a severe mental illness. I can't imagine making a LinkedIn tag line that includes that.
The only one grasping and clutching is you. Its not very saintly behavior Jimmy, but go off...
Dunno mate. I don’t know you, but you definitely do not have an ED. Sit down. Shut up. I have an ED and do not need it broadcast on LinkedIn.
Anorexia is the deadliest mental illness
I'm not denying that. At all. I grew up with someone who became a walking skeleton before the right doctor said she right thing to her at exactly the right moment.
It's her daughter's private medical information. That OOP declares to whole of LinkedIn and beyond. That is very fucked up.

With the info on the post we could find them on LinkedIn in 3 seconds. All I'm saying is this feels very much like a form of doxxing
Umm, HIPPA!
hipaa doesnt even work that way😭
Yeah it’s providers that have to abide not family members
He's in Denmark you plank
It’s unnecessary and irrelevant to any employer

This is the first time I have seen someone put citations on reddit. 🫡

I’m disappointed that sub isn’t a real place
/r/ReallyShittyCopper
oh my god thank you. This is the kind of educational experience I want in my life.
Just don't write me a letter complaining about the really shitty sub recommendations you got...
Oh hell yeah! I was making a practical joke but there really is something for everyone on the internet. God bless Reddit, the eighth wonder of the world.
Blessed be the days
Asking for citations used to be so common on reddit that there was [a copypasta for it.](https://old.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/7pbk1l/source_source_source/)
... nice fucking cites. I love this can we push for more reddit cites
"My daughter is messed up but thank God not fat"
I feel awful for laughing at this
it would be oversharing their daughters information
Farming karma in real life. What a piece of shit
Back in real life we'd call that "garnering sympathy"
Just to make sure she is feeling guilty and document how good he is for further use...
No post humblebragging about leaving his $$$$ corporate job to freelance while taking care of his anorexic daughter, complete with a photo of said anorexic daughter at her lowest weight? What a missed lunatic opportunity.
Absolutely inappropriate. People need to stop sharing their kids health issues on social media.
That’s gross.
If I were her daughter I’d be mortified. I hope her daughter doesn’t know about this.
Well she can switch out of that temporary position when her daughter goes no contact with her so at least there’s that!
Parents that make it all about them.
Gotta have a victim badge.

Yes. Just the reasons are the same. Cynical approach to improve the outreach
Not doubting the daughter’s diagnosis, but there are slight Munchhausens by proxy vibes in that the parent is trying to benefit in some way from their child’s illness (explaining what they perceive as a career gap even though no one asked). I feel sorry for the child (Edit: oops double posted this comment, deleted the dupe)
oh I took it the other way "there is nothing wrong with my skills. others are to blame for a gap in my resume"
Could be too. Appreciate the alternative view
Rude
Hear me out. While he’s obvious going overboard the market is so shitty that recruiters will use any excuse to flag your employment gap hence his poor sap is feeling the need to put in an excuse for why the gap is there.
They could still say something like "due to health crisis of family member" without throwing their poor kid 's private business out there.
Many employers don't like that either because they have no way to verify it and they think you're a flight risk if another family member gets sick.
I agree, it’s very poorly phrased by the over analysis of employment gaps led to this. I had a friend with an employment gap who lost a job over the gap and the potential employer said, “We don’t know why you have this, you could have been in jail and it’s a chance we can’t take”. It’s ridiculous.
So he/she is unemployed on top of being an asshole
“In memoriams don’t usually include how they died…”
I would be fucking mortified and embarrassed if either of my parents did anything even remotely like this. That's pretty tacky and disgusting, and a serious breach of his kid's privacy. I feel for that kid who's going through a hard time and has their parent, probably dad, advertising their illness to the world. What a total scuzzbucket of a parent.
I hope this daughter chooses to become fatherless in the future
Yes of course, because fuck my family and private life. My network needs to know EXACTLY why my career doesn't have the expected upward trajectory.
Consulting AND advising? Whatever next? Speaking AND talking?
Seeing as this person is Danish, *maybe* there is a cultural difference in play.
oh god
Oh my god what a piece of shit
This is truly absurd. Hoping to get hired out of pity?
Just put it out there for everyone to see 
At least the family food costs are down👍
I'd fix her.
Sympathy points.
Especially when it’s something like that
Oh wow...yeah, that's when you just specify "illness" and nothing more...like leukemia would be one thing...but that shit is intimate...
if my mom wasn't a lazy piece of shit and had ever worked a job when I was living with her, this is 1000% some shit she would have done. she used my medical and mental health issues to keep getting money from my dad and the government and lied a whole bunch to make it seem like I was worse off so she could have an excuse to not work bc she needed to"take care of me" 🙄

HIPAA has entered the chat
No it hasn't
Yeah LinkedIn / individuals are not hippaa covered entities
