Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Her job is literally to help other people get positive exposure lol
These are real things that people do. She does what a publicist does, only for corporate people. As a CEOs job is literally to attract funding, I'm sure you can see how this is a relevant job.
It really is a recursive situation of uselessness. She goes onto news media to promote her own ability to make execs feel like she can help them promote their own ability. All we achieve is making corporate leaders feel entitled to their position and more money extracted from people actually creating value.
You can hate the system and still recognize that the system has parts.
You don't like that her job has value, and that's fine -but it still has value.
Were you not being literal? Did I just completely misunderstand your post?
I think you just have a structural/functional view of the world that is fundamentally incompatible with how I view it.
Valerie can probably help with that, for a shocking fee
Maybe you see the world on How it Should work, not How it Does work. Those two are not incompatible, unless you confuse one for the other.
What I'm saying is actually a bit more involved than that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_functionalism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_conflict_theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_value_(economics)
We might be thinking of different meanings of the word value. If value means anything that is worth money, then yes she probably is creating value. If value means something that contributes to society and mankind then… Bullshit job.
You're being a bit pedantic by correcting people on it. We get it's a "real job", we're saying that it's BULLSHIT that it's a real job. It's a bullshit job. She's the expert of made up rules that she creates by enforcing and enforces by creating. She makes money, cool, it's a "job" in that sense, but it's a bullshit job.
If someone paid me to shit on the sidewalk every day, would you correct people who said "That's a bullshit job"? "Um it's a real job"
Our entire society functions via made up rules that don't make sense and contradict themselves. Ask literally anyone you know on the Spectrum. As long as society exists roles like this will exist.
