Fesshole 🧻
I work for a big consulting firm. In our proposals to clients we provide a "fun fact" about ourselves. In the last three proposals I've claimed to have canoed around the UK, wrestled a bear for charity and be selected as an astronaut for the European Space Agency. Nobody checks.

They're not really facts then, are they.

@fesshole

You can lower the bar or heighten the bar. For instance, claim that once you ate a whole 20 ounce steak in one hour. Or that you personally were responsible for burglarizing the Watergate Hotel for Richard Nixon under an alias, but what you were after was their stash of porn.

@fesshole I'd be interested to know which charity the bear had opted to donate to, if it won.

@fesshole the assumption here is that people believed you without checking? My friend, they didn't even fully read your proposal.

@bransonturner

Read?

No body reads that stuff. They don't have time.
They don't even bother to read the executive summary these days. They just AI it.

Thats why ChatGPT is boom.

The clients are use to lies from ‘big consultant’ companies.

@fesshole This is doing nothing for my belief that consulting firms are mostly staffed by wankers.

@fesshole (they don't read the rest of the proposal either. Probably not even after the selection of who to give the money to has been made. Nice to add a mousetrap to demonstrate it.)

@fesshole didn't you recently say that you started driving a truck for a living or something like that? 😃 (But maybe it's still the same firm?)

I mean, speaking about fact checking. 🙂

@fesshole that'll be because nobody reads the proposals either...
