This Page Mercilessly Mocks Those With A LinkedIn Grindset, And Here Are 50 Of The Funniest Posts (New Pics)
Everyone is bound to experience both the benefits and disadvantages of getting a job. Besides becoming financially free, you will also get to learn about people who share various meme-worthy posts revolving around work culture that freely roam on platforms like LinkedIn.
These posts don’t go unnoticed as the best finds are later re-posted on the Facebook group "LinkedIn Memes for Go Getter Teens”. The memes range from ridiculous to exposing to thought-provoking. But the best part is that some of these posts voice your ideas or concerns, reassuring you that you're not alone in dealing with the challenges of the professional world.

1000% need this. I had a job I tried for that I had solid experience with and they just never got back to me. I had to call multiple times just to figure out that they weren't interested in hiring me 🙃
The interviews always stop when the candidate they like comes in. If they call you back later saying you have the job, they are just settling for you.
Not necessarily. I've sat on a hiring committee before, and we interviewed all the top candidates before settling on the third or fourth candidate.

I am but a poor student, yet my library is vastly bigger than my TV! Plus, the TV was bought 3rd hand to give the dog something to fall asleep to while I get some work done.
And the books are also much more costley than the TV?
Load More Replies...Jokes on him. I have a pretty sizable book collection and a big TV to watch my pretty sizable movie collection on. I think what they meant to say is "Rich people have a hundred cars they never drive parked in a garage while poor people have one car that barely runs but gets them by."
I have a 54" TV that a friend bought me used. It's fully half the width of my living room, which is just wide enough for a standard sofa, and end table, and the cats' feeding station. I feel like I'm in a theater! Plus, cats. It makes playing video games more entertaining. Mario is a lovely guy, even in his earlier incarnations, but blow him up to that size, he looks quite funny.
Starting out in one of my first jobs - I got a cheap lousy TV second-hand. I used all my already read books to make a TV stand as I could not afford that...

If the company can't function without you... ASK FOR A RAISE!!
Load More Replies...As we say in France: "Cemetaries are full of irreplaceable people." No one is impossible to replace, and if they can't make do without you for a while, either they're morons... or they're not paying you enough ;-))
I manage a medium sized company. Take your PTO. If we can't manage without you, then I don't deserve my job. Every company should have a plan in place if an employee is not going to be there. People have emergencies, they have doctors appointments, they quit, they get sick, sometimes they die.
Im a teacher and so on the one hand i know how hard it is on the school and my students and coworkers when i take day-- BUT on the other hand i still take days when i need to because i'd be more of a long term detriment to the team/class when completely burnt out or sick
That's why supply teachers (for any one unfamiliar with the UK term - an independent contractor who temporarily replaces a permanent teacher) exist though - you must take time when you need it!
Load More Replies...If I want a day off because I just don't feel like working, I'll consider the impact of my day off to the rest of the team and ask if I can have it off. If I want a day of for a family event, no matter how small it is, I tell everyone I'm taking the day off. Either way, I don't check my emails, I don't look at Slack/Teams and I don't reply to texts.
My former boss tried to pull this on me when I requested a day off for my master's thesis presentation day. Saying stuff like how I should be more mindful on how this will impact the workflow, etc. Nah. I told them if I fail my capstone course and have to redo it, would they be willing to cover the cost? That shut them up.
6. Enjoy the compensation that your employer is contractually obligate to give you.
I'm not a young person, and the reply is right. When I was 18, I overheard a colleague saying, "they don't think any more of you if you do extra and put yourself out", and guess what? She was right. You are being paid to do a job, not sacrifice your life. My motto: "Get it right, get it done, get home."
If you feel stressed in your workplace, humor can help minimize it, especially when you can view the problems you face from a different perspective. This Facebook group, which is known for finding cringy LinkedIn posts, is the place to go when you are looking for that kind of comfort.
In a previous post, Bored Panda got in touch with the Facebook group’s admin Victoria Zhong, who shared that this is “a place where people can use humor to discuss or vent about frustrations they have about work or finding work.”
J. Paul Getty had a similar quote: "Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil"
You're failing to understand why arriving at work on time is a great starting point.
Also this is the fallacy of the survivor. How many had the same drive, intelligence and opportunities and failed? https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1827:_Survivorship_Bias
yeah, people tend to forget the element of luck, and how big a role it plays in the outcome of things. Sometimes being at the right place at he right time is more imporatant than anything you have done or could do. But those who succeed often have a tendency to associate it with talent, competneces and hardship rather than the far less flattering true story of how they got lucky, or was given a favourable position from the start. This has even been demonstrated by letting people play Monopoly and given on player a clear advantage like getting double the money each time the crossed start and an extra dice to roll. However that was not what they pointed out as the reason why they won, when you asked them.

This and other online communities that share work-related memes can provide a sense of belonging. Especially when nowadays the internet is full of posts that try to spin mundane events into fables with some lessons when in reality, that's not how it works.
Constant exposure to idealized professional success can have a negative impact on self-esteem and job satisfaction. Therefore, keeping in touch with reality and people who think alike is important for your mental health, as well.
About 10 years. Unfortunately no children, we both have above average paying jobs, my husband is a very very frugal person. We bought a house on my income when he studied back in 2012 when houses were relatively cheap. We currently save his income 100%, paid of the house as soon as possible after he started working. We do fun things and splurge occasionally, but are frugal.
I suffered no management fools and got that a lot on my reviews. Was always from first time supervisors who couldn't manage their way out of a hat and I was semi-retired professional manager. Wasn't going to play their dumb games.
Notice that it's brilliant WOMEN who often get that assessment?
Load More Replies...This is true up to a point. But on the other hand, some people really are a******s.
Worst example being actresses who lost jobs because Harvey Weinstein told people they were "difficult to work with". I remember hearing that one even lost a role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy because of that.
One of my very productive coworkers at Amdahl got the complaint on his review: "Does not tolerate incompetence well."
Of course his superior thought it a negative trait.
Load More Replies...I was told that once. Later realized it was b/c I did more than just sit on my azz like everyone else and actually DID my job. So to fix that phrase, "you're making us look bad by how hard you're working, please stop"
My manager bullied 11 people into leaving. I laid a complaint instead of leaving. I was told the problem was just me and I was "difficult to work with" (along with "everyone in the office dislikes you" and "you are resistant to change"). Turns out the whole difficult to work with thing was part of a constructive dismissal process. Another 2 people in her team left just a couple of months after me (one had only been there a few weeks). The manager is still there.
Or it could just mean the person is an ahole, that's always a possibility
Same. I also have no problem walking away if I'm unhappy.

This movie traumatized me as a kid. My dad got yelled at for taking my brother and I to see it because we were way too young. Thanks dad! ;)
Correction... dude was murdered on the job for corporate profits, then sold to a corporation and sent to work against his will after death.
Besides the laughable advice and inspirational posts, we can also find the ones that resonate with us on the deepest level. One example is such as requesting to get a rejection email from a company you have been applying to as opposed to ghosting. This and other similar topics regarding a more positive work culture should be more approachable as they relieve tension around them.
Get addicted to crack, start a pillow company, get a lot of money, do cocaine.
Don't forget the step - lie about election results, make a bet you can't cover then whine about how awful you're treated.

I absolutely hate when an email goes out globally at my job that doesn't apply to anyone. There's at least 10,000 replies about "take me off the email list", memes about reply all, heartfelt explanations about the differences between reply and reply all.... it's a madhouse for like three days.
We got a company-wide email instructing us on the difference between "reply" and "reply all." A good third of our staff "replied all" to say thank you. Lol
For GDPR, you need to know the difference between "to" or"cc" and "bcc"!

Load More Replies...Oh yeah. If only more people knew and had a better email culture, a lot of time could be saved. E.g. don't CC me on a thread that has been going back and forth for years, and where the topic no longer have anything to do with the subject line, and the thread was just used because it was just an easy way to get the contact information from someone. Often, I am not able to immediately pick up on why you did that just from the last mail, or the one before that, and hence I have to start at the bottom and work my way up from there, only to figure out that the majority of the content is no longer relevant. ...and please remove my name from the list or recipant once it is no longer relevant to keep me part of the conversation. How to write emails should really be taught in school instead of how to analyse novels, as it would be far more relevant to the majority of people. But for some reason you are just expected to figure that out on your own (which many people don't succeed in doing).
Preach it! Reply all is a trigger for me. I don't care that you are wishing someone good luck. Wish it to them personally and not the whole freaking company. ' Seriously, my photo in outlook (what gets attached to every email I send/reply to) was bright red pic saying: no reply all
"Fast paced and dynamic" is code for "overworked, underpaid, with a high turnover rate for good reason."
Yes! Worked at a place where a teams 'group manager' was a 'nice' manager (i guess). Because our little team jokingly said there will be cake if no one will quit from that team during a week... There were no cake, and soon the manager got a "We wish you the best of luck in the next step of your career."-card...
Load More Replies...The overuse of the word "dynamic" in job posts is insane. Any HR Pandas here? Stop using it.
Dynamic = "I've changed my mind and all this written you did is now garbage. Do it again, in 5 minutes."
Load More Replies...Most of the time, my coworkers were only fast paced and dynamic is when free food was announced.
That's basically what I've been asking my work for! I was hired as a second (part time) staff member at an after school program, but right from the start I have had to step up and run programs myself, because of short staffing. When I have been able to do what was in my contract, things have been so much less stressful, because I have someone ese to work with (who calls the shots), less paperwork, and everything is just easier. Now I'm worried that if they do get someone to take over the manager's job, I will be mad redundant, because the owner is saying they can't justify having a second staff member at programs unless there are much higher attendances! They said when I was hired that every service should have two people, regardless of amount f bookings.
All in all, if sometimes we can’t change our workplace despite how far away from the ideal match it can be, we always can find a community that helps to relieve that stress and change our perception for the better.
Hate your coworker? Put a period in the same cell, change the text color to white. Then hand it over and tell them it's ready to go.
Open your company's annual report. Type ctrl+a then increase font size to 700. Then print. One letter per page.
Maybe it's because I'm up at the asss crack of dawn, but I'm confused. What office printer holds 34 million sheets of paper? You're going to get fired if you attempt to spend the next millennium restocking that paper tray.
You're not going to. Everyone else who prints something and goes to the printer and sees the paper tray empty warning will add a ream, only to see the millions of black pages continue.
Load More Replies...Just tried it (without actually printing obviously) and it would have been 40,628,331 pages.
Unplug the printer, send a ticket to IT to clean the print server spooler and go on with your day.

The skills to build a large company are valuable enough to hire others to stay adept in the minutiae.
When resumes use first initial and no other gender-defining attributes, women get interviewed vastly more often.
As with anything else, it is true to a certain degree, and it is true in moderation. The issue is that life is a constant balancing act, and figuring out what is the right amount of something can be hard. Sure make up can improve your look when applied in the right amount and in a skillful manor, and if it is not done correctly you'll end up looking like a clown, and in that case no make up would have been better. Same goes with skirts, it is all a matter of context, and there is no simple rule for when it is right and when it is wrong - but in general don't where a skirt in those situations where they would be impractical which is in general situations where you need to be able to move freely (e.g. sports or physical work)
Best advice: dont do admin unless its actually part of your jobdescription and dont voulantair for everything and every time.
"Girl Power" is the most sad thing I can imagine. You really think that having a slogan will make you equal to men. Girl Power is the acceptance that you are inferior.
My dad actually hired a girl once because she focused the interview on asking about the company.
I may not be a climate scientist. But I know enough not to argue with climate scientists.
Good on you. I'm on the borderline. I'm almost a climate scientist. When you combine wind engineering and microclimate prediction using PDEs, that's what you get. I also know enough to argue with climate scientists. Science peaked in the late 1970s, that's the last time that any new physics actually agreed with reality. The new century will be one where science continues to degenerate.
Load More Replies...Does this refer to all the scientists out of work after Trump shut defunded the EPA?
It also doesn't help that way too many jobs, at least in biology, have an extremely low salary range. I got lucky, but while searching for jobs, most of the jobs had a pay range between 33k/yr, and 46k/yr. That was only a few years ago.
Oh... as someone with a bachelor in environmental science, we are DEFINITELY about to find out...
My old manager said once in a big meeting of all of us from around the country in the business group, "Our (meaning the older set) parents worked one job for 30 years. We have worked in 3 jobs for 10 years, but you will be the generation that gets to work 3 jobs at once!" and she didn't understand why I stared at her, scowling. She called me out, asked why I "wasn't smiling". I said something like "do you not realise how dystopian this is? We don't WANT to work 3 jobs, we are forced to by you and your parents who gave us no choice." She looked at me like she wanted to punch me and quickly moved on.
They're not "saving" they're poking fun at all the other brands paying celebrities for their testimonial.

There is an episode of the TV show Mash where Radar takes a correspondence class in writing. The advertisement said that the teachers and mentors included Steinbeck, Hemmingway, Fitzgerald, and more. Of course, these were not the famous authors, just folks who shared their last name.
Okay I'm going to be laughing at this one for the rest of the evening.
The best thing about this is that the one representing the boss is the one with only occasional access to a single shared brain cell.
Omg I can't contain myself... the look on the gray cat's face- I can relate.
That's actually an excellent question, if asked without an attitude. I've had interviewers wander into a long explanation about why they have such high turnover
I once said in an interview, it seems like you are a training ground for other companies." I had a lot of questions about why people were leaving and s**ty schedules. I was told later it was the longest interview the guy ever had. In the end I declined the offer.
Unfortunately, lots of bosses downright lie about why people leave. They can tell you one thing but no guarantee it's true. My boss told me the previous employee in my spot left for a higher pay that couldn't be countered. That person met with me later and said that was a bold lie, that it was b/c of the boss and her toxic work environment.
"Can you shed some light on why I've seen this position on Indeed for the last 9 months?"
One place I applied kept cycling through the hiring manager very quickly and then they'd email to let me know the new name...after the 5th person in 6 months I pulled my application.
I alwqys ask why is this position open. The answer tell's you a lot on how they operate
Dear Gen-Z, take it from us Millenials - don't go above and beyond. We did it basically our whole lives and only thing we got from it is burnout.

they can't let a computer read your resume, dismiss you, and automatically send the generic rejectionletter, unless you put that information in a very rigid form that it can actually work with. Only giving them a resume would actually require them to lift a finger and do some serious work.
They should ask for the rigid form and not the resume then
Load More Replies...This literally brings out rage in me. I always put "see resume" or just leave a period in the field if it's required. If a company has a problem with that I definitely don't want to work for them.
This is one of my pet peeves from job searching - when you submit your resume and then the web page asks you to fill out all your recent jobs. At least one wouldn't accept cut-and-paste - I wish them luck in getting anybody to apply!
Load More Replies...Sadly all this does is automatically reject you altogether, so you HAVE to work with their games to get a job
I’ve only ever applied for one job, and when I was handed an application to fill out after having handed over my résumé, I said that I’m not filling the application out when all the info they want is in the résumé. I was asked whether I can’t follow instructions. I responded by asking whether they’re looking for people who do everything twice. He looked at me cockeyed and then said he thought he might offer me the job. I looked at him cockeyed and said I thought I might reject it because the company struck me as overly rigid. Surprise! I was offered the job (and the money was more than I’d been initially told; I ended up taking it). Was a good job; I enjoyed myself enormously there, and might still be there had I not gotten a killer offer from a big fruit company.
i do this on every rehash of a form i have to fill out for anything. "on file' 'on file' 'onfile'
Amen! Going through a job search right now, and I'm so very sick of this song and dance.
Lol a girl I used to bartend with had business cards with her name , a hilarious photo of her and the occupation listed as “I’m kind of a big deal” and also her phone number 😂 she used it to flirt and give out her number, I thought it was hilarious
Of course, when she gives people her business card, they just ask "What? Are you Amish or something?"

I used to have a news aggregator app called Pulse, which was a fantastic app. Then Linkedin bought it and forced me to make a Linkedin account to use the Pulse app. So I made an account and, as I am the person who makes all of the financial decisions for my household and Linkedin demanded a title to make a profile, I listed my position as CFO of my house. People came out of the woodwork claiming to know me somehow, but I'm a SAHM and a recluse, so, no, they didn't. Also, Linkedin shut down the Pulse app shortly after so I deleted that freaking annoying account.

Honestly, though, it's tricky. Superstore (the TV show) got it right, that if you try to form a union, the company will push back, HARD. Starbucks has been closing down unionized stores and laying off all staff, of course finding unrelated reasons to do so. Unionizing need to be a company wide move, not a store-by-store move, or the company will just start union busting and open a new store half a block away.

Seriously people, she is just being really sarcastic about the fact that pads cost way more than they should. Pads get taxed like luxury items (Viagra like medicine).
my ex would buy a years worth at a time. after we split I had so many I just could not toss that much money out. So I learned all the things you could do to use them. They work great at polishing your motorcycle.
just ditch having children altogheter and you will save a fortune and won't need to setup a colledge fund.
In what world does sanitary products for 9 months cost the same as a child and a house
I don't know where he's living but pads must be worth a fortune if not buying them equals the price of a house or even the cost of a down payment.

"Entry level" and farther down "have experience acting as a lead designer"... Hmmm, maybe it's because the candidate was only acting in a more advanced role?
This is the catch 22. They want work experience for the first job you get to GET work experience so its actually, they hired from inside the company families but have to put out these forms by law, to make it look like they hire from outside.
If you are entry-level, you have little to no job experience. If you have 8 years of experience and can act as a mentor/manager of others, you are an experienced designer and should be paid accordingly.
My husband's workmate has fairly serious health issues and when I asked my husband if he's going to take his pension and retire, his reply made me furious with their company. He said "he has the money to retire but I think he's now just working for the insurance. If he retires, he'd have to spend that money on medical bills," F*****g. Hell.
i know an 70 year old man, looking after his disabled wife as a scammer took out his entire life pension, and the banks just say, not their fault he was scammed...
Don't post ableist s**t like this. We get enough hate being in public, going to doctors and just existing. Why do random people feel they have the right to judge whether we are truly disabled? And they expect us to wait a minute while they consider the matter. You have no idea what it's like for an individual, but YOU can become disabled at any time. And you think you can do your job disabled? Most of you can, but you will become invisible and your corporate overlords will find a way to get rid of you. Stop making it easier to hate us by posting memes like this.
I think BP is posting it precisely because it's such BS. Toxic work culture in one infuriating picture.

They don't see that complications from causing me to use a chair also can render my bed bound for weeks at a time and even when 'well' a weekend away will fatigue me so much that I need to sleep for 2-3 days to recover. Many disabled people are able to work and yet no one will take them on, but many of us have hidden disabilities that you can't see that stop us. If I could find a flexible enough job, I'd work- but when I can be in hospital for 2 months occasionally and other times like the past 2 weeks be bed bound, no one is going to be able to offer me a post. I'm lucky I live in the UK where I can claim fairly decent sickness benefits.
Seem like the work equivalent of the romantic game of playing hard to get. The job market (also) don't work like that, as no one have time for that sh!t.
How stupid. Instead, put your email address in your resume; remove your physical address. If you want two or more remote jobs doing what can be done simultaneously within the same time frame, Google will give you a VOIP# for each email. Set yourself up for success. Eg. Gig 1. Online customer service. 2. Gig 2. Tech support. Gig: 3. Paid Blogging. Gig 4: Website Evaluator. Remember, only you know your bills; so do what it takes to pay them.

Just keep fights and homicides for after work hours and do it off property but not at the bar across the street because we all go there". He was a great manager and I hope he's doing well
What that means is plan on living here because we’re going to run you to death with overtime
Whenever a boss says "We're like a family", I always think "Really? I didn't know that it was that bad."
"beauty of stagnation" "relentless dedication to mediocrity" - these are the keyworsd that show it is a SATYRE.
That's funny stuff! As a passive-aggressive myself I loved every word.
Look at all these wonderful comments from people who can't see satire when it SMACKS THEM RIGHT IN THE F*CKING FACE.
What a sad pathetic person (and a terrible liar for attention)
Please note that the banana is to be used for scale only and not to be eaten.
More proof that your employers think of you as nothing more than monkeys... they pay you peanuts and try to feed you bananas to make you happier at work...
Penicillin is barely a 100 years old, still do enjoy the occasional shot when the alternative is death.
Yeah and sleeping at night is overated too. So just do all the family building, cleaning, cooking, building that shed etc. in the night, in the dark, so you can work all day every day while the Sun shines outside.
I actually had an interview like this, they called me next morning and offered more than I asked for (not 190k $ though, I wish!).
Load More Replies...Sinilar scenario here, I basically wrote my own ticket. Turns out they were desperate for people due to being a s****y company to work for. I could have been a serial killing cannibal and their only question would have been "When can you start?"
I fell for one of those too. They offered me a job during my 2nd interview - before even checking my references. I should have been more suspicious about the fact that they had so many open positions. Turns out there was a reason for all the staff turnover. I quit after 6 months, before I had another job lined up - but I just couldn't spend another day there. :( Lesson learned!
Load More Replies...OK, while I realized that this is a bunch of BS, I am retired and not that familiar with the current hiring processes and recruiter techniques. What are you referring to?

How that want their employees to think they are valued, versus How The company really views them
My guess is that you can't normally use the green emoji on SoMe as a "like". The blue one is a normal "like" option...

Do you want a virus? Because that's how you catch viruses. So quit spreading those sheets and get back to work. And I don't care what your justification is, or your size or orientation or your layout. Just stop merging your centers. (Besides, we know it's Micro and Soft.)

Load More Replies...We had (maybe still have) a software company here in Poland that had the motto "every senior software developer can be replaced by a finite number of computer science students". They did a few government projects, including one for social security that cost more than a space rocket and is a bug-ridden, outdated-looking piece of c**p. I wonder why :)
true, but sometimes that number, despite being finite, can be really really really high, as each of those junior engineers will only have had enough time to pick up a tiny fraction of the experience of that senior, and if they don't have the pondus to put their foot down and is "outvoted" by all of those who have yet to learn why what they are suggesting is a naive and a bad idea, it doesn't really matter.

If you were completely honest and ethical you wouldn't be working for this snake oil merchant.
yeah because a guy desperate for 5 bucks is going to get a credit line of 200k
Like you can buy a distressed house for $200,000. I got excited when i saw a listing for $239000. Read the text: house is uninhabital, needs torn down. And 3% on $200,000 is $6000.

Only when you belong to a union. Also, this means a lot of useless idiots who should be fired still have jobs
Load More Replies...This is satire. A NY Times columnist went off on how unreasonably expensive his airport burger was. The owner of the burger restaurant explained how his $78 bill was almost all whiskey.
Load More Replies...What cocktail of drugs do you take in order to sleep at night and what's your over/under on 18 months before you overdose?
Ok, but this is funny. He's actually making fun of some guy who complained about a burger and a drink at Newark Airport costing $78, which was, shockingly, a lie so he could get attention.
boohoo. How about (A) set up a charity, (B) bail everyone you know out of debt?
Yea I'd definitely go for an "A". If done right it's a perfect vehicle to avoid taxman and gain reputation. As for B - it would very fast make me millionaire out of billionaire...

F**k off Tanvir like you wouldn't run from your job once a better opportunity showed itself
My time is a valuable and finite resource, therefore, when I am job hunting, I'm looking for the most money for the least amount of my time. You can always make more money, but you cannot ever replace my time. As for you asking the question "Are you interviewing anywhere else?", my answer is "How is it any of your business?"
Not really. Knowing what it's based on learnings algorithm, in order to progress it requires as much data as possible and from the data gathering perspective various weirdos and religious nuts are as valuable to them as any "normal" person to have conversation with.
Load More Replies...Yup, I was thinking about that too: what the f**k could be the guys name?
