For many of us, LinkedIn can feel like an alien environment. The buzzwords and indecipherable acronyms, the sort of opinions that might make you do a double-take. However, if these posts make you feel out of place, it might be comforting to know you aren’t alone. 

The “LinkedIn Memes For Go Getter Teens” Facebook page focuses on workplace memes that many of us might find painfully relatable. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the most egregious examples, and be sure to write your own thoughts and experiences in the comments section below.

Makes perfect sense. However, corporate capitalists don’t believe in sensible solutions. They’d rather waste money getting another corporation to come in and “study” their company, meaning they will just sit down with other management and not actually lower themselves to talk to non-management employees, then give them a bunch of b******t ideas how to make it “better”—-ideas that just make it worse for everyone. Except for management, of course. They’ll just give themselves raises and bonuses after laying off half the workforce right before Thanksgiving or Christmas.

For many of us, LinkedIn is and will probably remain the place you go when you need a new job. A casual scroll through the feed there is often enough of an indicator that this place is sort of like a foreign land, with its own norms, language, and inside jokes.

Indeed, LinkedIn users do sometimes seem to be some of the most positive folks out there. Every moment of personal growth or job movement is followed by an Oscar-winner-worthy speech about "this opportunity," followed by a host of people being thanked.

Its our job to live the parts of life our betters don't want to live, while they take all the best parts of our life for themselves. Its called capitalism and we are the ones being capitalized upon.

One effect of this insularity, which is pretty visible in the posts here is that so many people appear to be hopelessly out of touch. After all, if you were to moan about employee demands on your Facebook wall, at least a handful of your friends would jump into the comments to mock you. As hard as that might be to accept, it's perhaps for the best.

It doesn’t help that often enough, corporate language, with all its flowery positivity, is used to cover up the unfortunate fact that many things often get worse. Even worse, this tends to be presented as an upgrade, where some new, cost-saving technology is supposed to transfer its benefits to us and not the company.

After all, the alternative is the "grindset" purported sincerely in some of the posts here. Without rational voices to keep them in check, some folks in their LinkedIn bubble have started to act like free time is a contagious disease. They have entered the war on the work-life balance on the side of work.

I went to a place to apply. The clown hiring said, "here's our contract to sign". I read it instead and saw a dozen red flags, so I decided to leave. The clown demanded I explain why I don't want the job, proving why I was right to walk. Then it refused to unlock the security door until I started calling the local equivalent of 911.

The lesson I get here is: the law is far too lenient. He should have been banned from driving after his second DUI. I actually think the first should be the last, but all the "goodies" in the world will claim "everybody deserves a second opportunity". Ok, if he didn't kill anybody the first time, let's give the a*****e a second opportunity to kill an innocent while drunk driving.

This is why groups like "LinkedIn Memes For Go Getter Teens” are important. Boasting 77.3 thousand members, it's proof that there are folks out there who see LinkedIn lingo as bizarre and quite mockable. After all, it's not just funny internet content, there are decision-makers out there who take these ideas to heart, to the detriment of all of us.

I can only imagine explaining that at the funeral. "Were you his friend?" "No, I want his job, so I'm making sure he's definitely dead."

Then later they'd be fired because everyone else uses 100% kidney function but it seems like he's only managing 50% but thanks for your service. Don't put us on your resume.

The other, perhaps slightly lesser, issue is that the “grindset” is ultimately unhealthy for the vast majority of the population. While it might assist with some productivity in the short term, ultimately it will lead to burnout. Depleting your mental and physical resources, only to be useless for multiple weeks afterward is not actually useful for anyone.

I really don't think that most people look down on these jobs, only some loud and biased and stupid people. A person with average intelligence and education should know that those are some of the most important jobs.

After all, you are effectively trading a few weeks or months of productivity at best, to then spend just as much time recovering. Even if someone is quite career-minded, it’s important to note that then spending just as much time barely scraping by is going to be detrimental. Even worse, extreme cases of burnout often require and extended vacation.

Good thing companies can't do anything against unions here in Germany, though the system is way different from US unions as well

Also the Dems have spoken against the $2/hour wage in at least their last two presidential campaigns, so if you’re a Republican just know that you’ve brought all this on yourself.
