The mistake was made less than a day ago. He took a crying selfie and posted it to LinkedIn along with a guilt-ridden post about laying off a few of his employees.
The post was self-aggrandizing in the weird way that it praised Wallake's own vulnerability. He wishes he was a business owner that was only focused on money and didn't care about people. It's a good thing. He says he shared the post to show that CEOs are a class that needs to be protected.

The post has gained more than 29,000 reactions and 5000 comments, which ranged from genuine support to outrage. Every single one proves that LinkedIn is still a special place.

"Patents & mushrooms" is the job title of a man namedJared Steele. He wrote, "Maybe it's not a great idea to adopt a sea lion at the beginning of a recession?" and attached a picture of a post from Wallake's account celebrating his donation to the World Wildlife Fund.
Are you okay? Do you think the best response was to critique him for contributing to the happy life of a pinniped?
Wallake and Steele missed the point that a guilty post about layoffs should focus on the employees.
There is a place called LinkedIn.
