Guy contacts government worker on LinkedIn demanding he find him a $100k job because they had small talk in 2018, claiming it’s his civic duty as a public servant to help: ‘He asked me to send him my CV so he could copy it’

LinkedIn gives casual acquaintances remarkable abilities to transform five-minute conversations from seven years ago into lifetime career consultation contracts. These professional beggars approach distant connections with the expectation that exchanging pleasantries once creates permanent job placement obligations, treating LinkedIn like a magical employment vending machine operated by anyone unfortunate enough to appear successful.

The art of weaponized helplessness has reached new heights among adults who somehow navigate complex social media platforms but claim formatting resumes requires divine intervention. These career tourists want all the benefits of professional success without any of the tedious work involved in actually earning it. They've mastered the skill of transforming personal inadequacy into other people's emergencies, approaching job hunting like a customer service experience where strangers handle all the difficult parts. The beautiful irony lies in their ability to confidently demand six-figure salaries while simultaneously admitting they can't figure out basic application requirements that teenagers manage daily.

"You’re a public servant. I’m the public. Get me a $100k job"

What elevates this behavior from merely annoying to genuinely impressive is their creative reinterpretation of civil service when rejected. These constitutional scholars suddenly develop expert understanding of government employee duties, convinced that public servants exist to fulfill individual citizen requests for high-paying employment. They perform mental gymnastics that would make Olympic athletes jealous, transforming "I work for the government" into "I owe you personal career services." The logic resembles children who believe teachers live at school and exist solely for their benefit, except these are allegedly functioning adults with driver's licenses and voting rights.
Our bewildered civil servant discovered that some networking requests come disguised as casual conversation but reveal themselves as elaborate schemes to outsource entire career development to unwilling volunteers.
