'Crying CEO' now under fire for another tearful announcement on LinkedIn - this time about grandma's death
A marketing startup CEO known for posting a crying selfie to LinkedIn earlier this year is once again getting side eyes for a post about the death of his grandmother.about the passing of his grandmother with his 43,000 LinkedIn followers."I got the text from my mom, closed my computer, and headed straight over to her house," Wallake wrote."While driving to my moms, I was reminded days like today are why I do what I do.
Wallake continued the post by saying"there's more to life than working," and describing his negative experience with"hustle culture."LinkedIn users quickly expressed their disdain for Wallake's post — even going so far as to say he used his grandmother's death for his own gain. So far, the post has received 128 comments.
"Such a sad post, to use your Grandmom's death as a way to promote your company," one commenter wrote. "This post went from bad news of grandma passing to promoting the company. Sad for you in many ways," another comment read. "I'm not exploiting her death for company promotion," Wallake told The Post."It would suck if I couldn't be there for my mom because of work. And the same thing for our clients. We exist so they don't miss out on life."
