Woman Blames Imposter Syndrome For Being Absolutely Terrible At Her Job
NEW HAVEN, CT — Former Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern addressed the class of 2025 at Yale University about being awful at her job because of imposter syndrome.
“It has taken me a while to realise, what a terrible job I did, and now I have come to learn that it was due to imposter syndrome,” said Ardern. “I had a sneaking suspicion when people around me were telling me that I shouldn’t treat an entire nation as children, not to force them to sit in front of the TV everyday at 1pm lecturing them about not going outside and if they did I will tell them off live on TV, but I just couldn’t help myself. I feel like such a screw-up.”
According to Yale University President Maurie D. McInnis, Ardern was invited as speaker for sharing her story about being a total screw-up. “She explored the dark-side of being a leader by manipulating the world with a smile. Let this be a reminder to the kids how not to lead a nation.”
The speech featured many other snippets from up upcoming book, “a different kind of power,” which explores how to manipulate power to boost ones net worth ($30 million) without getting too close to being called Hitler, and if one does, just blame it on something like “imposter syndrome.”
As of publishing time, Jacinda Ardern said she now lives a private life and avoids public speaking in fear of “being egged” by the public, which is a symptom of imposter syndrome.
