50 Times Companies Made Social Media Fails That Left Everyone Facepalming Online (New Pics)
If you're on LinkedIn, you must've noticed that companies and CEOs love to present themselves as sleek and efficient, but anyone who has ever worked in or around a big business knows the truth is usually a lot messier. Bloated hierarchies, endless meetings, and social media interns left unsupervised — you name it. The well-oiled capitalist machine sure has at least some cogs that are grinding and slipping.
The subreddit r/CorporateFacepalm is dedicated to collecting the silly, awkward, and downright baffling failures of white-collar workers — mostly online, but occasionally in real life, too — so we've rounded up the most memorable recent examples, perfect reminders that even billion-dollar brands can make total fools of themselves.

This is the big lie that major corporations are fooling so many people with: You must recycle, not waste resources, and not contribute to global warming, to save our planet! But those very corporations are doing FAR more damage than all of us consumers put together. Yet they tend to skate by without penalties, because they can basically bribe governments and politicians with their millions, in the form of lobbying.

According to the iHire's 2025 Toxic Workplace Trends Report, which surveyed 2,285 U.S. employees and employers, three in four (75%) workers have been a part of a toxic workplace at some point in their careers, and more than half (54%) have quit a job because of a negative work environment.
Of the 75% of employees who had experienced a toxic workplace, 79% said poor leadership or management was to blame.
When asked why they believed their company’s leadership contributed to workplace toxicity, 72% of respondents said management showed a lack of accountability, 66% noted favoritism or biased treatment of employees, and 52% witnessed unethical behaviors or practices.

Interestingly, employees and employers view things differently, with the latter having a much brighter outlook.
83% of employers rated their organization's work environment as "very positive" or "somewhat positive," while just 45.0% of employees said the same about their current or most recent job's atmosphere (although respondents did not necessarily work for the same companies).
Despite employees’ grievances with leadership, 76% of employers rated relationships between employees and managers at their company as "excellent" or "good." Additionally, 57% of employers rated employee morale as "very high" or "high."

There was a similar themed advert in the UK to publicise government retraining programmes, one of which featured a ballerina who, apparently, really dreamed of being a coder or similar.

And what did they think they were doing suggesting she’d be better off as a coder?? That was a bad advert.

Do They Really Think Anyone Wants To Pay To Access Their Own Records????
How much are you willing to pay me for the privilege of keeping my personal data?
0€. And every medical information about me, is always only transmitted by me. The hospital gives their letters to me, and I give them to the Doctor I see fit, if I see fit. If I, for whatever reason, wouldn't - never happened so far - see fit, I simply keep the letter in my own records, which are the only complete issue whatsoever anyway. No company, no other person, no entity of any sort but me has the right to any of these data, and there are no exceptions to be made. Simple as that. How can I do that? I live in a 1st world country. We have healthcare here, and some sort of sense for privacy, not only against an overbearing state, but against such companies as well.

Ibm May Need To Update Its Job Applicant Page
Actually I don't know if it's changed under Trump but DEI efforts required you to ask this question, there would always be a I prefer not to answer option but a number of places that I applied years ago had notes on their page saying that they are required by law to ask the following demographic questions and that we are free to not answer them if we choose to. The companies would then gather all that data to try and see whether they were getting applicants from all the different demographics that exist in the area, because they want to encourage a more diverse workplace. I can't say that it was never a****d, I can only say that companies I worked for didn't a***e it, and in fact didn't include the information in the application that the manager got.

Load More Replies...We’ve only got a genuine choice between HughesNet or Starlink here in rural/off-grid Hawaii. With HughesNet, we had latency issues and fastest dl was under 100Mbps. Now with Starlink, we have low latency in milliseconds & easily have download speeds near 300Mbps. It was a pretty penny buy the equipment for two accounts (stationary & mobile), but revolutionized how we use the internet. To be fair, I detest the billionaires behind both companies, so not gonna let that affect the choice I made.
Comcast doesn't care. They show us how little being a customer means by constantly playing garbage on tv and taking away channels while charging up the wazoo and trying to push streaming. Their days are numbered.
I havent had comcast in a long time and im sure everyone understands why but for those of you that do...are they any better now that theres so much more competition or are they still quadrupling the price and halfing your channels when your package is no longer available/youre no longer considered a new customer?

Ah, the innocent times when we thought of Assange as an herald of free press and information freedom. Turns out, HE WAS A RUSSIAN ASSET ALL ALONG. Leaked documents were traced back to a GRU team (Guccifer 2.0), specifically released to harm parties threatening Russian interest, while withholding material damaging to Russia. The DNC email hacks have been run by Russian GRU hackers and passed to Wikileaks by people linked to the GRU (proven in the Mueller Report). Wikileaks collaborators openly bragged on Russian newspapers about how they "joined forces" with Russian agencies. Assange in London was documented meeting regularly with known Russian agents and staff from Russia Today (a propaganda op), up to receiving USB drives a few days before "leaks" were dropped on the site. He has been on payroll of Russia Today since a 2012 propaganda op, even participated in some propaganda productions early in his career, and he held a Russian visa since 2011.

Ah yes. I can't afford to live and WW3 is right round the corner, but at least we have facon. 🙄
Any vegan food pretending to be meat should not be allowed to be named after the actual meat... this ought be called Fake-on.

If omnivores can demand a right to cause suffering and damage, the last any sane person wants to her from them is any limitations thrown our way. Don't buy it. Silently, please, I have not asked to be informed about yours being fine with killing and suffering. Stop pestering, leave our products as alone as you can, and do so in silence, please.

On their more obscure shows and movies, Amazon's subtitles are sometimes VERY bad. Not just wrongly interpreting what's being spoken on screen, but also with timings that are way off. Although I supposed that's less of a problem now than it used to be, since speech-to-text algorithms have gotten a lot better in recent years.
