As someone else asked: OP, do you really believe this content?

Aside from how horrible and shortsighted this reasoning is, I also need to ask:

If a stranger asked you who you work for, would you answer?

Me? I just thought it was an obvious joke. The person who posted it is clearly not making a serious claim of more that 700% profit in a year. It's just some light teasing.

It is an obvious joke, I thought it was funny and didn't realize this was going to be so controversial until I looked at the comments

There's a ton of "guilty conscience needs no accuser" work from home folks in these comments who had this go way over their heads.

I saw the top post as a joke, the bottom I'm not sure about.

I'll respond to the last question: yes. I might lie, but I'll answer.

In fact, I was at Ikea the other day and a rando asked where I worked, so I told them about the business, but my the name of the company. It turns out they studied something relevant, so we had an interesting conversation.

The company I work for is big enough they wouldn't be able to dox me or anything, but it is something I'm willing to discuss.

As to the first, I also saw it as 100% a joke, just like the OP. It's just a funny thought, that's all.
