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.

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.
Note the memo was addressed to the 'younger folks in the workplace,' i.e. the inexperienced and gullible
If the company can't function without you... ASK FOR A RAISE!!

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!

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."
Your employer will lay you off with no warning. do not treat them better than they treat you. time off is earned, not a gift.
From an older (62) worker who very seldom took PTO,- DO IT! You have earned your time off, and helps prevent burnout. I just recently started taking mine and it has saved my sanity. If management can't function for a short period of time without any one employee, then maybe they need to re-evaluate the other employees performance.
My boss actually gets annoyed at how I make a point to ensure that there are no questions about anything, that I say "please ask me anything before I leave because I won't be reachable once I leave today." She thinks b/c she works 24/7 that everyone else should too.
PAID time off. That's what it's there for. You've earned it. If you need to take it, TAKE IT!
I took a small three week vacation and when I came back I found it some american harassed me everyday about a project and even went to harass my coworkers and manager. Ofc had the mail setup for the OOTO. Some dudes need to understand what vacations are.
Uncle Mikey, looking the paragon of business and industry. Definitely moving him to the top of my advice taking list.
What is PTO (I'm not assuming it is 'Please Turn Over", btw 😉)?
Absolutely take your PTO! But also depending on the job, leave some instructions for the workmates who will be subbing for you. Makes it easier for them to step in and you won't be returning to a disaster zone after the month is up.
Lol, this happened to me back in July. Took a week off to take my family to the beach and participate in some church activities. Came back and two people had quit (one being the person I left on charge) and one had been kicked off the team for being inebriated at work. I have no regrets. I will take my PTO again next year and if I have no team to lead when I get back, then oh well.
I am about to take a week off for the first time in 15 months ( i have had a day here or there,). I am panicking because no one knows how to do what i do. I am worrrried i will get blamed for things not geting done while i am gone and have a c**p ton of work when i get back.
Some consideration for your fellow workers when planning PTO would be nice, only if you care of course. I mean, if you're willing to "stick it to the man" even if there's a negative impact on them, just be careful walking through the parking lot......
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.”
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
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.
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.
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.
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. Do exactly what you are paid for and NOTHING more, enjoy small things, take care of yourselves, spend time with your loved ones and defend work-life balance.
I’ve always loved this. McDonalds cashier = Director of Food and Beverage Sales at a multibillion dollar corporation. Janitor= Public Health and Safety Sanitation Expert. Homeless Dumpster Diver= Specialized Socio-Economic Urban Archaeologist Etc, but like does any of this actually work lol
Hi, Jeff. Thanks for your message. Quick question; What part of "get a chicken" did you think could be considered a low priority?
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.
Isn't life and prison more or less the same? Both are confined, get out for about an hour a day, eat, sleep, repeat. The only difference is the sex. I don't get any 😭😅
Remember my first raise in my first job. Went from $6.23 minimum wage to $6.65. Yippee!!
The problem with this is that many homeless people already HAVE jobs.
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.
