The feud between STEM kids and humanities kids is long and storied.

‘The absolute state of the LinkedIn community’: Hypocritical CEO attempts to champion Gen Z by decrying rent prices and £21k salaries, offers similar salaries at his company
LinkedIn is a wild, wild place, full of high school classmates becoming junior analysts, CEOs performatively crying about having to fire their employees, and most of all, people doing the best they can to sound… good.
