You should be grinding 24/7. Days of rest are for the weak and those who don't deserve success. Forget caring about your friends and family members; your career is your family now. If you’re not waking up at 4am and drinking protein shakes to save time, you’re never going to have the life you’ve dreamed of.

We’re all familiar with this kind of toxic messaging. We’ve seen the posts on social media and heard the “motivational speeches” on YouTube. But if you’re interested in calling out hustle culture, rather than succumbing to the pressure to be a girlboss or hustle bro, we’ve got the perfect list for you down below. We’ve gathered some of the cringiest posts from the LinkedIn Lunatics subreddit, so enjoy scrolling through and keep reading to find a conversation with the founder of Her Messy Bun, Danielle Clemente!

    Interviewing with multiple companies at the same time is standard operating procedure. And as someone with a MS who has been in the workforce for a while, I feel like it's super disrespectful for you recruiters to keep spamming me phone and get offending when I don't want some sketch entry-level job that's barely above minimum wage.

    I was not familiar with the term 'bleeding edge'. From the definition the internet gives me it is not surprising these companies may not want employees focused on money ----- because they probably don't have as much money due to being newer companies / unproven products. === "Bleeding edge refers to a product or service that is new, experimental, generally untested, and carries a high degree of uncertainty. Bleeding edge is mainly defined as newer, more extreme, and riskier than technologies on the cutting or leading edge."

    Absolutely, not everyone wants to list their positions on what is essentially "social media for business". And like kissmychakram said, the majority of his staff may be contractors. Makes much more sense to hire short term contractors if the work is sporadic than paying half a dozen employees all the time, even when they're not working. Or worse, firing them when you no longer need them.

    What was once a professional site used for networking and searching for jobs, LinkedIn seems to have gone off the rails in recent years. Instead of simple posts about people celebrating being at their current job for 5 years, the site is now filled with toxic advice and “professionals” bragging about their commitment to their work ethic. That’s why groups like LinkedIn Lunatics have begun surfacing. This subreddit, which describes itself as “for insufferable LinkedIn content,” has been around since 2019 and has amassed 324k members, or “LinkedIn Premium Members.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Scroll through LinkedIn and you will find a mix of rampant virtue signaling, cringeworthy titles, and stories that could come from r/thathappened,” the moderators explain in the community’s About section. “This subreddit is for sharing and discussing these LinkedIn characters.” From facepalm worthy posts to the worst advice you could ever imagine, this group has it all!

    Absolutely. My coworkers keep saying "management said they 'probably don't even know half of what you're doing' again? Take two weeks off, then they definitely will." It's the inevitable result of companies trying to cut corners for too long by hiring people with no experience so they could pay them less, then refusing to do what's needed to keep experienced people. They're starting to improve in that regard, but this is a super niche industry and it never hit them too hard where it hurt, so it's very slow improvement.

    Oh good grief. I once TOLD, didn't ask, a manager that I would be gone for four weeks. One week in Paris and three in Italy. In a meeting they requested me to handle a high visual project, when I asked the due date and they told me, stated I can't do it, I'll be on vacation. They replied that it wasn't a hard date, I then replied you don't understand, I'm going to be gone for a month in Europe. Looked at my manager and said you allowed this? Which he replied by stating I didn't ask, I just told him I'm doing it, so he approved it. They laughed and told me to have a good time. Project went to a co-worker who was capable and looking for something to put his mark on. I already had plenty of "marks" under my belt.

    Sweden: if you don't take out the mandatory 4 weeks vacation (at least three in a row, preferably during the summer), and later get burned out, you might be seen as partly responsible for the burnout. It's a mutual responsibility; the company must provide you with vacation, and you must use it to relax and recharge.

    Now, there’s nothing wrong with having a great work ethic. Working hard can be rewarding and satisfying, especially when it translates to higher pay, promotions and greater opportunities within your company. However, there’s a big difference between being invested in your job and being a workaholic. Many of these “LinkedInfluencers” tout the advantages of missing important events in their children’s lives, skipping out on holidays, working while sick and working overtime because “the hustle never stops.”

    To learn more about hustle culture, we reached out to Danielle Clemente, Creative Consultant and Founder of the Her Messy Bun Podcast and Consciously Creative. Danielle explains hustle culture as “when you put work above everything including your mental health, available energy, rest, family and personal time.”

    “Hustle culture is filled with unsustainable practices that perpetuate the idea that you live to work, rather work to live,” she continued. Danielle also noted that hustle culture can negative impact our lives for many reasons, including causing burnout, forcing people to try and meet unrealistic deadlines or expectations at any or all costs, and affecting how we see ourselves in the world.”

    In some cultures, this goes against everything he has been taught, so, good for him. It's a lesson many people should learn, hopefully, before it's too late. I've seen too many people ruin their mental and physical health for a company who is ready to get rid of them to make more money. Work to live, don't live to work.

    If you take four weeks, you'll notice that it takes about one week to zoom out, and about one week to zoom back in again. The two weeks in between, you are very relaxed; you barely know what day of the week it is, nor what time of the day. You just go to bed when you are tired, and make food when you are hungry. It's great!

    “It’s harmful on so many different levels, and it has the ability to affect anyone,” Danielle told Bored Panda. “Hustle culture is sneaky, because the idea to hustle is also tied to the idea of working hard or that you have to hustle in order to get what you want. The word hustle itself is defined as constant movement or forcing movement, so when applied to entrepreneurs (especially neurodivergent creatives) it’s extremely detrimental to your wellbeing.”

    Danielle also says that most of us have participated in hustle culture at one point or another, due to how normalized it’s become. “If you ever went to school sick because your parents couldn't take off work, if you ever worked for a company that only allowed so many sick days or time off, if you ever went to a university that failed you if you missed too many days, if you ever got road rage… The examples are endless,” she shared. “I think the majority unknowingly participate because of how ingrained it is into people's everyday lives. Once you start realizing that there’s an alternative way to work and live, you start seeing how many things are tied to it.”

    Life choices do, on occasions, require sacrifices. When you choose what to sacrifice I only ask that you consider who or what is being sacrificed. If it’s your children’s time with you that’s being sacrificed then consider this, will your bank account or manager bring love and smiles through your life? Will your work ethic visit you in the twilight of your days? Will your grandchildren know who Grandma or Grandad is? If you choose to sacrifice your children then it’s going to be a long and lonely journey through life and you’ll have children who you don’t know. Stop chasing the dollars and build a family home that radiates love and that your children will always want to return to, even when you are a grumpy old f****r and they are parents themselves. Money is good but it’ll never be better than love.

    I (Gen X) love Gen Z. I'm excited to see the changes they make. I am impressed by the insistence on balance and time off. In order to make this change, you have to have thousands ++ on board doing the same thing. Possibly one of the good things about social media in my opinion. Gen X doesn't have that cohesion and we inherited the masochistic "work ethic" of the baby boomers. With my student loans, I will never retire so I look forward to this generation making the changes no one could make before. Good job and keep going!

    But... without a life in your 20's, or, G-d forbid, a personal life disaster happens in your late 20's, you won't have a life to balance work with in your 30's? By then you can count on never meeting your grandchildren if you decide to have kids cause you'll be unalive from stress in your 50's

    Danielle recommends “creating an intuitive work schedule, filled with simple strategies that honors how your brain works. An example of this, I’ve been teaching for years and has helped so many creatives and large creators, is to break up your days into themes and then always start with the bare minimum, the easiest yes,” the expert explained. “Working in themed days prevents context shifting which then intern protects your current energy levels, and allowing yourself to do the bare minimum first takes the pressure off of feeling like you have to stay busy, or constantly do more.”

    Could be right. I also know one guy who only sleeps about 4 hours a night and has done for 20 years. For some reason he just needs less sleep. Some people are lucky that way. On a different note, it's not unusual to wake up at a "pre-set" time either. If I am getting enough sleep I tend to wake about 2-5 minutes before my alarm. No matter what time I've got it set for. It's how I know I'm not getting enough sleep - the alarm wakes me.

Student liaison, maybe a lawyer, or a doctor providing an opinion over the phone (though you'd hope they'd do that in private).

    Yeah, nobody has any else to do, any obligations outside of work. If I am to add any value, add something to my bank account. It's not a oneway, it actually is made to be seen like one, but we should always have in mind that corporate profits have been skyrocketing for a solid 40 years, while wages are stuck and, if corrected for inflation, plummeting at best. Eff this dude, and anyone thinking alike. If they're so about adding value, why doesn't their company lead by good example, and add something to ... everybody who works there. Cut the profit, and spread half of it over anybody working there. Oh, wait a minute ... not gonna? So, adding value is not your intention, then?

    "Work your àss off making money for someone else so that you can be too tired to cook, then spend your hard earned money on low quality, high priced processed shít (and make that company owner wealthy). Next, eat said trash food everyday until you are incredibly unhealthy, preferably obese with diabetes. Follow that with routine, high priced doctor visits for your failing body (so that company owner can make money off you too!). See how everything works out in the end?!"

    This isn't "the office" - it's a public library which thoughtfully provides a spot for your kid while you use the computer to, say, look for a job or find a book in the catalogue.

    Imagined by someone who doesn't have kids of their own. I don't have kids either, but I still know that the kids don't stay where you put them for more than a few minutes. You can't manage office from home if you have kids, either. Both child care and office work will be poorly managed.

    I've seen people online saying that this kind of desk was actually designed for patrons to use at public libraries, which is actually awesome! you can keep your kid safe while you do a quick bit of research/whatever, and the library staff don't have to take time out of their schedule to watch your kid.

    Yeah, the idea itself is not terrible. But he fails hard when he uses "Tony Stark was *proof*". As a fictional example he might be great, but being fictional negates any "proof".

    Engineers are (generally) great at solving the problem in front of them. That doesn't mean they can do it on time, on budget and within the scope of a larger picture they don't necessarily even see. It's two different unrelated skill sets. Which is besides the more obvious point of Stark being A FICTIONAL F@CKING CHARACTER IN A WORLD FILLED WITH SUPERHERO'S, MAGIC AND LITERAL GODS.

    How is Tony Stark unrealistic? Unrelatable, sure, but he's a charismatic, intelligent human who inherited his wealth and his company. No super powers, no metapowers, no magic abilities. His tech is unrealistic, but not his character.

    Noting the OP's occupation, this would be an amusing way to announce their engagement. Clever. Also, This phrase is used when someone tries to teach something to someone who already knows it or is more experienced than the person trying to teach. For example, if you try to teach your father how to use a smartphone and he already knows how to use it, he might say “Abbey chal na apne baap ko mat sikha” which means “Don’t teach your father”. An Aussie version would be "don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs".
