Reddit Confession Ignites a Wild Online Showdown!
In a tale that has captured the attention of Reddit users everywhere, one manโs confession about embellishing his CV has gone viral. The user, known as zaenova, claimed to be a โcoding wizardโ despite having no real experience. His fib not only landed him a job but also a promotion, leading to a whirlwind of caffeine-fueled coding sessions and a growing sense of panic.
The Confession
In his post titled โI once lied on my CV. I got the job and got promoted,โ zaenova shared the pressure he now faces. He admitted that his browser history is filled with frantic searches like โhow to fix syntax errorsโ and โwhat does this error message mean?โ While his colleagues view him as a genius, he humorously noted, โIโm just good at hiding my panic.โ
The Promotion Paradox
Despite his initial deception, zaenova received a promotion and a raise, which he jokingly interpreted as โweโre paying you more to keep pretending youโre good at this.โ When asked to explain his code, he resorts to a โconfident-sounding jargon-filled monologue,โ hoping to distract his colleagues from his lack of expertise.
Reactions from the Reddit Community
The post sparked a lively debate about work ethics. Some users empathized with zaenova, suggesting that he was proof that many people are just โwinging itโ in their careers. One commenter encouraged him to build real confidence and own the skills he had acquired, while another pointed out that even seasoned programmers often face similar challenges. However, not everyone was supportive. Some users criticized him for taking a position that could have gone to someone more qualified, arguing that his actions contribute to a culture of CV embellishment. Others expressed skepticism about the hiring practices that allowed him to slip through the cracks. In the end, zaenovaโs story serves as a humorous yet cautionary tale about the lengths some will go to in the job market and the unpredictable nature of career paths.
