Anna o' Brien / Glitter + Lazers / GlitterandLazers - Fat, drunk, consoomer attention whore who would rather eat and drink herself to death than endure a single negative emotion

Not trying to backseat mod but a lot of you new fags, whether to the Farms itself or to the Anna thread, really need to work on your reading comprehension. Between multiple one sentence posts asking things that have been discussed in great detail, to skimming over things like this, it is bogging down the thread. Quit being lazy and read and research for yourself. The Search feature on the site works great. Read the Forum rules about low quality posts.

Also, to the fat Anna redditors, if you're going to steal our posts and discuss it on reddit, you could at least give us credit. But then that would admit to visiting and reading the Big Bad Scary Anti Troon Place.

Don't recall directing my comment to you, but ok. Are you looking for a standing ovation, or something?

Moved to London and tanked her career when? Why do we have zero info on this era? I always thought she got shitcanned from Citibank, and slunk back to Austin where she got hired at Sprinklr.

We need to research London Era Anna immediately.

Moved to London and tanked her career when? Why do we have zero info on this era? I always thought she got shitcanned from Citibank, and slunk back to Austin where she got hired at Sprinklr.

We need to research London Era Anna immediately.

She was with Citibank in London. She seems to idealize this time of her life despite whatever she says in that post. She got hired at Sprinkr after and then moved back to NYC, or had already moved back. She says she was with Sprinkr when it was still the salad days but a simple search says Sprinklr was founded in 2009, and by her timeline Anna wasn't there until 2013-15. If she was hire 20-30 they were already fairly well established. It's not like she was the 4th hire or something and the company was just starting.

"burnt out lifes a mess" = her failing at Sprinkr and then getting the "come to jesus" ("switching roles") moment when they had her move to Austin to get her productive. At this point she was doing social media more than her real job and of course she soon got shitcanned, possibly going out with a sexual harassment settlement on her way.

here is a video she made in 2010 for citi. she was enormous and a super dork presenting fat at this point.

She memorized a couple SEO and CRM buzzwords and somehow managed to give a 10 minute talk around them. Basic ass stuff she makes sound way more complex than it is. Trackbacks? Come on. I think most executives can understand that concept.

Ahh, got it. For some reason, I thought she was with Citibank in NYC (since she finished grad school at NYU.)

She was w/Citibank in NYC and moved to London when she took another job that was before Sprinklr.

Okay, here we go. She had TWO stints living in London, once for Greenlight and once for Sprinklr. Her Citibank gig was indeed located in NYC:


She lasted barely a year at both Citibank and Greenlight, but Greenlight seemed to stop her "new media" career in advertising.

Her second stint in London was for Sprinklr in 2014. It was a very short stay, but she made it another three years in the Sprinklr NYC office before they found a way to shitcan her for repeated sexual harassment and chronic absenteeism.

This is a total double tinfoil theory, buy I suspect Katherine to have been gay; to have coped with the shame and loneliness of being a gay Mormon by eating; and to have committed suicide once her peer group paired off into married families.

I am glad you brought this up, because I've wondered about it myself. If Kathryn had been gay, I think it's possible her family may not have even known.

I can't shake the feeling that there is something pretty dark in the O'Brien family history. On the rare occasions that Anna has spoken about her mother and sister, she's indicated that both of them had various mental illnesses, which is believable. I can't exactly say why, but I really think that there might have been some major event, a Bad Thing, which set in motion all of the experiences which molded Anna into the person she is today.

How many “friends” have we seen Anna churn through?

I've been going through some older Anna content, and I just re-watched the video she made about her Dolce and Gabbana-sponsored trip to Milan, back in March 2020. I was surprised when she introduced her videographer, some (flaming gay) dude named David. I didn't remember that she'd had a video guy prior to Jon. I'm not sure when Jon appeared for the first time, but my curiosity is definitely piqued.

It was shared on this site, but someone whose older sister had gone to high school with Anna said on Reddit that they weren't sure but had always thought it likely that Kathryn killed herself. I don't actually fully discount that person's theory. Anna blamed weight for her death, but that's only Anna's word, and maybe she just doesn't want to talk about whatever actually happened (and thought that saving herself from the same fate as her mom and sister made for a good social media hook).

I agree, too, that something is really, really off about the O'Brien family history. Anna has alluded to all sorts of things, and I don't believe any of her self-serving stories. I do, though, believe there's something really dark that she just doesn't talk about and has probably never dealt with at all. Whatever it is or was, she'll never tell us, and she'll keep drinking, eating, and making a fool of herself on social media to avoid dealing with it herself.

Is she getting her calves/shins done next?

a Bad Thing, which set in motion all of the experiences which molded Anna into the person she is today.

Put me down with you and Puzzled in the "some shit went down" group. She's experienced, if not talented, at pretending everything is great and putting up a front and she drinks heavily but (not-so) secretly. She basically cut off her Dad and alluded to heavy shit, and then never addressed it again (although the recent tweets show they talk enough that she has to explain her job to him, I guess). She dropped out of high school at 17.

Mormons are trained to turn shit off and act like everything is fine, but she's clearly not fine. Clearly. She had to hire a doctor to suck the not-fine out of her thighs.

Total speculation, but I've wondered if her Mom had an obesity related illness and croaked early, and then sister, very depressed and probably bullied (idk, maybe the "obesity related" part?), offs herself.

These aren’t the compression tights she was trying to flog on Amazon a few days ago. These are actual medical compression tights, with prescription grade compression strengths, unlike the rubbish she linked.

Guaranteed, if she actually purchased the previously linked ones, she couldn’t wear them with the zippers down the side seams.

Actshually this is some sort of training she was giving regarding how city bank changed how they would do social media in a way that was safe for consumers and them and interactive. It wasn’t a talk about it where she was just filling up time, she actually relayed the message really well so a layperson such as myself could understand it. I could nitpick things I don’t like about her, but that was pretty good and succinct. Just to keep it negative for us: those presenter/trainer jobs are really freaking cushy and they make a lot of money and get to travel everywhere and I wonder what she did to screw it up? Maybe the alcoholism? Cause the presentation was good. She probably fuxked around and didn’t put enough time into what she was supposed to be doing behind the scenes and then had some sort of poor attendance, lateness or something at the first firings. As far as the sexual harassment lawsuit I’m sure she was clutching at straws. But when people start picking up that you aren’t doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing behind the scenes as far as prep time and travel expenses etc they can start looking for little things to make a paper trail to fire you.

Wait a minute I misread that! She got canned for sexually harassing other people? Oh wow she must have been drunk and loose lipped and they probably threw the book at her to get rid of her. It could have been some simple thing like the are you single that she asked the dr on the video but they probably wanted her out out out and used several instances of that to do it.

if it was posted on Reddit it must be true

Anna doesn’t talk in-depth about her mother and sisters death for a few reasons. She has a rehearsed persona for her videos and doesn’t overshare about details close to her. She keeps things vague, because it’s easier to manage perception that way. She’ll make jokes about being single, however never illustrates that struggle in her life beyond relatable, surface-level comments. Every so often she’ll mention something, eg her sister being in and out of hospital as they grew up, but only to justify some decision she’s making now to her audience. She doesn’t share just to share, which is popular online now, her age and experiences in a real workplace likely informed this. She also knows she has haters and is intentional in her language around weightloss, she frames all of her exercising about mobility and not weight, this is purposeful. She can’t talk about her own weightloss in the typical way people do eg Amberlynn, Chantal when she used to care, April, because it gives her distance and control over the discourse.

So, it makes a lot of sense why she doesn’t go in detail about her sister or mother. We only even know how they died from a deleted and very old blog. She hardly even talks about her life, or any information relating to other people.

What??! But I was assured that I was being spoken to candidly!!

The Reddit post in question was very... questionable, albeit plausible:

Someone on Plebbit alleges to have gone to school with Anna
View attachment 6065753View attachment 6065754
Nothing notable that we didn’t know already.

@ghjoigcbn and a couple of others pointed out some possible contradictions to publicly available records:

the town she grew up in is very small ( population around 4000) yet has multiple high schools ( Chagrin Falls and Kenston) thar each have 700 and almost 1000 pupils respectively . This doesn’t make any sense until you factor in that these are suburbs of Cleveland that must pull students from surrounding areas. So weirdly it is true that she is from a small town .

What’s more surprising to me is that if Kathryn did join the boys wrestling team and or caused such a big stir, it seems like there would be an article or something. Of course it’s possible no one wrote one or it didnt make it online. It appears she was quite good at shot put though. There was a comment on her obit and her name appears in old records for Ohio championships which is how i found her high school.

I do agree that something went very wrong in Anna's family, but I'm not going to put Anna's sister down as a munchie without a verified informant. It's entirely possible that the sister was gay, or had her own issues with expressing sexuality similar to Anna's. I think that the key to the whole mess is the mother. If Anna's father was absentee working, and Anna's mother had her own mental issues leading her to self medicate with food... yeah, there's definitely the potential for some really fucked up shit to happen.

I watched the first minute-1:30 and she's at the most basic possible level of social media management, especially for a financial institution. Not sure if this was the point, but this is first-day-of-journalism-class-100 level.

Also, her stupid turtle analogy for financial services culture - really, Anna? When things get tough, you move really, really slow for customers when (we're assuming) the economy is tanking and customers are freaking out? Say you want to try to make some cool intro without understanding anything at all about your own industry.

In a crisis, your social media/communication with clients and customers should NOT match the pace of what is going on with the actual financial services. That's just standard. You move fast to reassure people you're on it, you know what you're doing and a solution is imminent, even if it's not. You have frequently updated FAQs to get the most basic questions answered ASAP (is my money safe? I can't access my account, what do I do? etc.) and you will frequently be working/on call 24/7 for days and even weeks to keep messages up-to-the-minute. One slip up and you've ruined customer trust for life and their accounts are going elsewhere. They need to know their life savings are safe, not sOcIaL mEdIa Iz KeWl.

I could say more, but the bottom line is that our suspicion that she got this job based on connections versus actual smarts and talent is once again confirmed.

TL/DR: She's an idiot who thinks she's the smartest person in the room.

 

[The Queen of Autists]

No, you are! She’s explaining what they did to figure out social media and the research they did before hand to make sure that they would launch it and it would be effective. You don’t have to move fast when implementing some new marketing thing, this isn’t for security dumb ass or to solve some immediate problem, it was a long term implementation of social media through research and careful prepping. I know I’m not the smartest person in any room , I’m often the dumbest but I took the time to watch it and use critical thinking. .
I don’t even know who I’m responding to, I’m hoping when I scroll up that it’s not somebody I like but seriously this is ridiculous.

If you had any sort of professional or career background and had ever attended a training you would understand that she isn’t doing this to look good to them or just be a speaker or to fulfill a task she was assigned that she will be judged on, there is a purpose to her presentation. She’s not doing a fucking class presentation for a grade. she’s explaining to people how they went about developing a research based plan for social media marketing with consumer interaction and then implemented it. You don’t know who the audience is here and the exact purpose of speaking. A bunch of old fuck bank people or corporates dont know shit about social media and marketing even though you, who have probably spent your whole fucking life online do and think it’s second nature to everyone.

This could have been a report to keep the rest of the company heads informed on how the company is moving forward on how the social media thing was going, or a way to share with other businesses about how to do it, who knows.

But she wasn’t standing up there pretending to be smart when everybody else in the room knew more than her, that much is for sure!

Yeah she was fat and goofy and there were rolls flying everywhere but that’s about half of the women I’ve seen leading the trainings I’ve been to.
