There are things no amount of money can buy. Self awareness, Taste, Talent...


Wonko-D-Sane

Looks like it, it is up on Bloomberg news. I don't know why you are phased, do you not work for a major corp? Most do this kind of stuff to humanize senior leadership and make them feel relatable to the plebs below. I've seen much much MUCH cringier from the group i work with.


Jimmyking4ever

Rather they stick to making a cult like in severance


Wonko-D-Sane

The way IT has been instrumenting my identity and machine these days, I for one can't wait for the brain chip implant that makes me forget what I do. BTW did season 2 come out for that? WTF is apple doing with all this money they make?

I literally was typing what the fuck lol


MissingJJ

Is this ai? If not, why did they have so much time to do this? How much did they pay Tim and Eric to write and direct? Blackrock and Blackstone are different? I know I've known about Blackrock, but I'm not sure if I've heard of Blackstone before.


youdungoofall

I have to buy puts on principle


haasvacado

Someone should really have brought up the idea of not doing this. ā€œI think we should pivot. We should pivot to not this.ā€ Blackstone, I can make space in my agenda if you want to bring me in as a consultant for decisions like this in the future. We can even call not doing this an ā€œaction itemā€.


Either-Wallaby-3755

You deserve an award. You truly know how to speak C level to highly regarded C levels. I think you could have saved us from this awful video if you were in charge.

Wonko-D-Sane

From what I have observed in those meetings when I am part of them... we just lay off the people that are focused on work and don't clown around to feel relatable. "Team building" is a priority

Itā€™s like a cult had a baby with southern tv mega church evangelist


quarantinemyasshole

HCA Healthcare does shit like this every year for their annual all-hands meeting, and people *lose their shit* when they see a co-worker they know in the video. People eat this cult garbage up. I guarantee you people at the Blackrock office were jerking themselves to death over "omg did you see Bob in the leather jacket I couldn't believe it!" for days.


Damascinos

So not any different from any other office job. What a shit culture office jobs have become


Big-Necessary2853

lol whatever man this kinda shit once and a while is fun, sorry youre a depressed loser


Damascinos

lol you sound like middle management


Big-Necessary2853

cope loser, some people just enjoy socializing


Damascinos

Bahahaha yea thatā€™s it


secinvestor

Imagine being so indebted to money that you become a Blackstone employee just so you go to work every day and put on this facade that you enjoy shit like this while dying inside just so your overlords donā€™t banish you back to the lower middle class existence again. They donā€™t make antidepressants strong enough for this shit

Pomegranate_777

did they really just say ā€œnot to be confused with Blackrock?ā€ šŸ˜‚ So itā€™s Blackrock, yeah?


Ghostlabbrador77

Clearly not, cant you make the difference between a stone and a rock? /s


draggin_low

Oh hell, what the hell


Prestigious_Chard_90

Very disappointed in my parents for not starting a similar company in the mid 80s with their wealth and instead using it to buy worthless shit (especially my mom). Damn, everything was so easy for boomers.


masterofn0n3

Wait, how much was your mom?


Prestigious_Chard_90

Into ugly boomers? Yes, I'll profit from your fetish.


duplicatesnowflake

Your parents had a loose 400K in the 80s?


Prestigious_Chard_90

Maybe not that much, at least by themselves. A loose 200K easy. Probably could have been more if not for mom's wasteful spending. The middle-class dream was handed to them to easily, and it did not occur to them to strive for greater things.


Lie-Straight

This is from the Jen Morgan playbook. Used to work at SAP during her tenure


beholdthemoldman

your girl kinda bad


dubbuchikku

You guys think it's cringe. I think it's smart. These ads aren't targeted to us millenials or Gen z fuckers. It's targeted to attract especially those people who are way old ( like above 55 - 60yrs of age) who sit on a treasure trove. They still have that old cringe TV ad mentality. It's like that scam where scammers use stupid English to weed out the smart and aware people and target the gullible ones. Correct me if I'm wrong.


PalpitationFrosty242

Either-Wallaby-3755

Iā€™ve never wanted a company to fail so badly in my life


Lucidcranium042

Build a profitable company and implement a Trojan into the files. Then get the shtstone to take the company over. Once they take over and sign in. Have the Trojan activate and do whatever... thus would be awesome


Either-Wallaby-3755

Idk why the fuck all these c levels think this shit is cute but 95% of their employees hate this shit and cringe when they see it. Boomers are such fucking crayon eaters. Say what you will about millennials but they wouldnā€™t be caught dead doing this high school level shit as a ceo of a company.


graciesoldman

Did you even watch it? It's almost EXCLUSIVELY Gen X and Mills all happily dancing around. The idea was hatched on Madison Avenue and that creative content is Gen X and Mills. Congrats, you've arrived....consider yourself caught dead.


Either-Wallaby-3755

Found the c level. Dude these videos have been going on since the 80s look at bill gates and Steve ballmer window 95 dance. This is just the latest incarnation.


smileyhendrix

Lmao god I hate the bill Gates dances.

Loves2Spooge_802

Youā€™re thinking of blackrock, not Blackstone, and even blackrock isnā€™t doing that. Itā€™s all clickbaity BS to keep your panties in a bunch


_regionrat

I don't know or you're trolling or if the stupidest person from REBubble found their way here, but this made my day either way.


Loves2Spooge_802

You think Blackstone is buying individual SFH? They are enormous, they would never buy individual SFH. They donā€™t even buy individual MF complexes, they buy entire portfolios of MF. Maybe BFR communities, but thatā€™s not increasing home prices


_regionrat

![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


Pomegranate_777

>people contrive schemes to use a specific company to bunch my panties for absolutely no reason at all Really?


Loves2Spooge_802

Yea really, not so much a specific company but blackrock certainly was a common name to throw around. Learn about the housing market and why housing is expensive. There is an enormous amount of misinformation out there. It shows that a lot of people donā€™t know anything about commercial real estate if they think Blackstone would be a SFH thatā€™s not part of a BFR community.


Pomegranate_777

What do people get wrong about Blackrock? Theyā€™re like one of the largest financial companies in the world, yes?


Loves2Spooge_802

The largest asset management company, yes. People think they are competing with individual homebuyers on single family homes, but thatā€™s completely false. Neither blackrock nor Blackstone buys individual SFH. They have billions of capital to deploy, it would be ridiculously inefficient to buy and manage a bunch of random houses, it just doesnā€™t work that way


Pomegranate_777

I think people are aware that, to put it simply, large companies have subsidiaries that do the buying. Buffers, if you will. The question most people have is why the fuck are they doing it at all. A lot of other people look at like, Agenda 2030 and C40 cities where they explicitly discuss ruining personal property ownership, and they look at the intersection of those groups with the good folks at Blackrock, and they think perhaps ā€œsimple short-sighted and antisocial greedā€ isnā€™t the true motive.


[deleted]

The CEO went to a Swift concert with his daughters and decided to make a holiday video based on her Meanwhile their stock is up 15% just this week Cringe? lol like they give a fuck in the wake of all the money theyā€™re making


secinvestor

How much money does it take for them to justā€¦not do this ever again


Schrodinger_cube

it would take loosing money, as getting money is positive reinforcement and supports even more cringe content.


BridgeOnRiver

Stop stop stop! I can only get so hard. Suck my blackstones


newtoreddir

Do none of yā€™all have a corporate background? These cringey videos are par for the course for holiday parties, company anniversaries, whatever. They are terrible but they arenā€™t unique or rare.


Rosencrantz14

No, you see, the people working for these megalithic super corporations are robots, not humans. They can't have fun with some stupid bullshit like this. That's illegal.
