A lot of people write stories about kindness and motivation on LinkedIn. All of those are praised well on the platform.?
However, a user named Alexander Cohen, who is also the Director Of Product at the San-Francisco-based health company Carbon Health took a dig at those motivational posts on LinkedIn.?
He cooked up a fake story about meeting Amazon owner Jeff Bezos at Starbucks. He narrated the entire made-up story as to how he went to Starbucks to fetch cold coffee for his team which was working hard on a Sunday to meet a deadline. He eventually then paid for a car behind him that turned out to be of Jeff Bezos.?
But he went on and said how?upon meeting Bezos, he forgot all about his team and ended up chatting with the businessman for the next two hours. One thing led to another and now he is apparently all set to join Bezos for his next trip to space ¡ª all expenses covered by the former Amazon boss himself.
However, people on LinkedIn did not get a clue and actually believed this entire narrative to be true.?
Alexander, after this, shared a hilarious tweet thread on Twitter and showed how people congratulated him and praised him for his kindness.?
?He even mentioned how he's getting several more follow requests and how over 560 people from Amazon have already checked out his post.?
He even photoshopped his face as one of the Blue Origin astronauts and his profile now reads - Blue Origin Astronaut #5.?
