Thought experiment. Do you find any of these statements below cringy and or ableist?
I posted this on another social and an acquaintance believes it to be both. I disagree.
Maybe I'm looking at it differently?
The top line sums up the meaning of the remaining four.
It's both cringey and ableist.
I'd add that it's also good old fashioned Puritan Values Prosperity Gospel Victim Blaming.
Because the meaning here is that if you fail it's your fault for not trying hard enough.
I dunno. Maybe it's just me. I just feel like the whole concept reeks of grind yourself to death for the corporate machine and if you don't you're a failure.
Like the caption at the top says: "No one cares (implied: about you here in this office). Keep working.
@Tarnagh I definitely wouldn't want corporate saying that to me. Like I've said before I use this internally as motivation. Like an affirmation almost.
It would definitely be problematic in a business environment.
It doesn't matter how anyone else feels about it, then. 🙂
I did miss seeing that you use it for internal motivation/affirmation.
If this is what works for you, for that purpose, then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
@ThrasherPrime
Sure, if we completely ignore all the physical and mental reasons why someone may not be able to do that.
Ultimately, it comes down to "If you don't succeed then it's entirely your fault alone that you are a failure."
