Perfecto! I’ve been thinking about this for a large part of my life, it seems: I can think of people I know/bosses I’ve worked for who get a well-paying job, f-it all up (I think it’s called “putting your stamp on things”) and bugger off to a nice new job to rinse and repeat. WHEN. WILL. IT. END? It’s always the same type of person: the one who believes it’s bravado they possess, when in fact it’s just B-S. Their super-human power is bullshitting. American Psycho-levels of warped world outlook. And they make careers out of it. 🤷‍♂️

Danny Dyer, Jeremy Corbyn and Pamela Anderson might be my dream dinner party guests (PM can go f*** himself)

Yeeessss! Yes to all of this! I too have known many people who delight in "putting their stamp on things" only to watch it all crumble before wafting off into a well-paying abyss. It's infuriating. I love this comment – thank you!
