30 Examples Of People So Consumed By Hustle Culture They Lose Touch With Reality
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!

My Friend Sent This To Me, Caption: "Wow. This Company Just Invented The Lunch Break"
About sums up the type of thing i would suspect a "chief people officer" titled person to think is a novel idea lol
I read this in a 90s, aimed at kids/infantalized adults, overly enthusiastic voice.
That’s funny, I read it in that voice that’s a bit 1950s either Fallout 4 or Prey information terminals before whatever apocalyptic event happened.

Urgh, how they religiously call their employees “Just Eaters” friendly forcing their culture into people.
Just wait til they learn about coffee breaks! Wonder what buzz word they'll use to describe them? Recharge Moments? Caffeine Infusion Moments?
What the hell is "Chief People Officer" and "Non-Executive Director". They both sounded made up roles for non-existent HR divisions. What happened to the good-old-legitimate-corporate organization structure.
Lunatic From Blind, Thought They Belonged Here
man, i don’t know if you’ll ever believe this, but some of us…. ARE POOR! *scandalous gasp* /s
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 work in IT. I get emails about being a warehouse supervisor.
Load More Replies...Will the recruiter do the same, only interview one candidate. It's very disloyal for a company to select the most suitable candidate that will take the lowest pay package.
I would consider it statistical noise, with enough people taking a poll every response will be given at least once. I wouldn't even trust the data from a poll where the ridiculous answers actually get 0 responses.
Load More Replies...I want to improve things, and work hard, and be loyal and committed to your company... provided you pay me a fair compensation for my time, effort and knowledge. Other than that, I can't care less for you or your company.
I use what I call the Rule of Ten: my employer starts with 10% less loyalty from me than I get from them. That number increases or decreases based on how they treat people, who I see them promote, and the behavior they tolerate from their leaders.
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."
Ouch
i mean, if that’s the case then the stats are technically true 🤷
All the more concerning that the company has written interoffice conversations that need revisiting due to misunderstandings between the two sides.
Load More Replies..."Our output ist 10x higher". Yep. That's exactly why I teach that "outcome" is more important than "output"!
The auto industry is a perfect example, recalls in the millions is ridiculous.
Load More Replies...Not sure that the written word is less open to interpretation that the spoken word.
Just look here in BP, I use smileys and "/s" to make sure when I'm joking etc. But since he was by himself, then reading your own words might do it. But I sometimes can wonder what the heck I wrote some month ago,when I scribbled down something 🤔
Load More Replies...Could be he's hired people who think LinkedIn is for tossers. Which it manifestly is.
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.
Load More Replies...And let me guess: 100% of the employees is satisfied with their boss and vice versa
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.”
“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!

The real equation in physics is E^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2 where p is momentum, if you really want to know. You're welcome.

I Finally Have Something To Contribute To This Community
No kidding. USA is trash. I can say that because I'm a voting citizen who pays taxes. It's my country and I sometimes hate it. We could do so much better.
Load More Replies...They BETTER be able to manage without me, jfc. They'd be a pretty shoddy company if they are hanging by the thread of a handful of analyst level workers.
OR it could show how invaluable you are. I know it was always interesting to listen to the stories of when I left.
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.
Load More Replies...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.
I love our summer semester, it guarantees my husband and I time off together. :)

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.”
He Loved Being At His Office That Much
if anyone sprinkles my ashes outside of my old school i will unalive them /s (i hate that place)
but you’re dead…? ooohh is your ghost gonna murder them??
Load More Replies...Nobody ever said on their death-bed 'I wish I'd spent more time at the office'.
Yup. My dad missed quite a bit of my childhood while he was working to make partner in his law firm. (And I was always desperate for his attention when he was home ) But I know he'd haunt me until the end of time if I took his ashes anywhere near where he used to work. BTW he's not dead. :) He's been retired for 10 + years now and loves it.
Weird. Sprinkled my dad's ashes in Khao Phing Kan, he'd always wanted to go there and never did, we were supposed to go the previous year when he was still alive but that bloody Icelandic volcano kicked off. He got to go the following year albeit in a diminished capacity.

Others Take Vacation - I Take A Think Week. We Are Not The Same
Better late than never, though. More of these LinkedIn psychos need to rediscover the week off.
Load More Replies...From the picture he looks like he's 20. Guess he's never heard of a "staycation"?
Was wondering what he was on about, thanks for input 👍
Load More Replies...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.”

Appalling lack of foresight on his part not to have his work laptop in the operating theatre with him
He was supposed dead for NINE MINUTES? I guess that explains the post since only someone that braindead would publish that.
If you are dead for nine minutes, you will have at least some brain damage from hypoxia even if they did CPR from the moment you went down. My brother in May and my neighbor in June...😢

I wouldn't go that far. Assuming this really happened and isn't him just doing an imaginary flex, he acknowledges that the staff did it and appreciated it. That says to me that his ego hasn't completely overinflated yet.

This Upset Me Just As Much Seven Years Ago As It Does Today. Choose Momentum Not The Movies
It's at night. They're sleeping. ...which, if you think about it from this guy's mindset, is actually the most constructive thing they could be doing, since when they get off the plane they will be ready to start their day and this guy will be worn out. He can't even get his own point right lol
Right, I'm checking out here. Any more corporate / sales / motivation / management talk is going to cause me to have an aneurysm or something. Good luck to you if you can read on.

Load More Replies...He’s delivering an international seminar and he’s flying coach on a long haul flight? LoL Even as an intern I was flying in business class when traveling for my cie. What a bullshiter
When you get down to it, "delivering a seminar" just means "talking to people in a room". For all we know, he met with five people at the airport TGI Fridays.
Load More Replies...He clearly is doing well with all his hard work....and sitting in the back of the plane. 🤣
He was on a flight home from Barcelona, delivering a sales seminar. No wonder everyone fell asleep.
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.”
“I’m On Vacation But With A Hotel Lobby So Nice, How Can I Not Work?”

I'd say staying in a hotel that makes you feel that you have to work is not a selling point...
Easy. You read a book, people watch, scroll the interwebs, have a conversation with somebody…. Anything except working

Load More Replies...Ask my sister - I was too young when he died at 45. Mom had to sell the house and it was very rough on her. No he did not have enough saved up
Load More Replies...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.
No job is so important that you can't take a few hours a handful of times a year.
He clearly has no interest & is working hard to justify his self centered life
Load More Replies...But we’re not all doomed to a life of perpetuating hustle culture forever. “What I teach burnt out creatives and entrepreneurs, is that there’s an alternative way to work, there are simple solutions to everything,” Danielle shared. “On the small scale it looks different for everyone, but when you zoom out and look at the big picture, it’s all about learning to work around your different energy levels and as I call it – Work Intuitively.”
Work Life Balance Isn't For People In Their 20's!!!
So a family instantly appears when you get to your 30s? What about your 20s also generally being your healthiest to allow for a more energetic parent who can give more to a baby?
Can we please stop treating parents in their thirties as old and fragile? Honesty I know some many twenty somethings on antidepressants and in such bad heath that a lot of those parents in their 30s are much better prepared for parenthood both physically and mentally
Load More Replies...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!
Or maybe having time in your 20s to do fun stuff before you have a family??
Especially for women in countries without leave or affordable childcare.
Load More Replies...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
Yeah. That's what I was wondering. It looks as if you only deserve personal time if you have a family.

Always Choose Linkedin Followers. Agree?

He's an idiot. I'll take the $1.2b then advertise that I'll be giving $10 million to a random LinkedIn follower in a months time.
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.”

He doesn't say what time he goes to bed. Maybe he does that 8pm. Still gets 7hr45min.
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.

"Yellow Flag" To Not Work For Free Before Your Start Date
"Startup investor." - Pay is not guaranteed even after they start working.
Load More Replies...Sounds like something from the "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch: "In my day I paid the owner for permission to come to work"
Has this guy ever started paying someone before their start date? Why doesn't he "add value" too?
I recently started in a new job. There was a two days meeting one week before my official start day. This meeting happens once every year so when asked whether I would be able to join I said yes. The first couple of minutes there I was told that these two days were going to be given to me as additional PTO.
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?

Yeah, why figure out how to manage your own time and life when you can just hate p***k the planet by having multiple daily deliveries made. That's not saving time, it's stealing it from the future.

Meet The Final Boss Of Linkedin
I feel like I'm chanting a spell trying to read this. It's not going to release some ancient evil or some such if I finish, is it?
Draw an org chart on the floor in black ink, and light candles above each top tier name, then have the high accountant chant the tax ID number in Latin...

Load More Replies...The Dystopian Future Where Daycare And Parental Leave Are Replaced With Babies At Your Workplace
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.
Up vote this!!! Yes, a library that helps parents get back on their feet and out of poverty.
Load More Replies...imagine working super hard on a project and suddenly you hear an infant screaming from the other side of the office
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.
Once kids get to be crawling and climbing they ain't staying in there.
I love my dog but giving him a computer seems excessive

I've Just One Question. Why?
Snoopy is proof that dogs make good pilots. In the attached PowerPoint we will examine how his creation of "doggles", along with his use of a scarf and leather helmet, made a lasting impact on canine aviation and related fashions.
I had to scroll back up to read this again because I enjoyed it so much the first time. STILL laughing! 🤣
Load More Replies...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".
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies..."Tony Stark is proof that media perpetuates myths surrounding the actual contributions of wealthy people to their companies" FTFY
Because Your Professional Network Really Needs To Know This
I'm with Bruno on this one. She's a "branding and content strategist" so this sort of post is very on topic. Lots of people do funny engagement or wedding announcements related to their career or hobbies so I see no problem with this.
Load More Replies...Already spouting jargon. I suspect her utility will become very marginal when he starts fooling around with a newer investment asset with great legs
This may be an attempt at humor. She might be making fun of the obsessions of somebody in particular.
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".
"I badgered my boyfriend into marrying me. We're gonna be so miserable for a few more years!"
"Abbey don't teach your father" is what google translate says the quote is
It means 'get lost. Don't try to teach your father'

i have 7533873 things going on and can’t even get out of bed
But do you have abs? (note:title does not specify "chiseled"
Load More Replies...Ah yes, those 1% overnight successes after decades of *frantically checks notes*
The last time I had 7533873 things going on at once I had a breakdown so maybe it isn't go great after all
There are 43 degrees? I’ve heard of line-up changes, but that’s ridiculous!
That's the temperature at which morons work out and get a heat stroke. Just last week, a couple people died from exercising in a heatwave.
Load More Replies...There are 43 degrees of what exactly. If you are going to b******t, make it coherent.
This story just inspired me to center my a*s for the next 12 hours and watch TV
Or you'll get burnt out and end up doing significant damage to your mental health and relationships.
All I got from this is that every single person on every single post sounded miserable, frightened or both.
If someone is miserable/frightened, that's fine, and it's great to ask for help, but trying to drag others with you, or worse, use them as ground to stand on, that's where I draw the line for my sympathy.
Load More Replies...He/she/they who dies with the most money still dies. Why bother getting more money than you need?
Right? And I’d rather spend my life nurturing my hobbies and interests and work only enough to live within my means. I’ll probably never retire… but oh well, I might die next week too
Load More Replies...My heroes are the bosses who understand humanity. The ones who give the musician the rural signal box so that they can be paid to practice, or who don't penalize volunteer emergency workers for office hours call outs.
We all know people like these who are so obsessed with work and "getting ahead" they don't have time to have a life. And most of them are so smug and obnoxious you can't even feel sorry for them.
We all "know" them... As in 'yeah, we used to hang out, but i haven't seen him in five years, cause He never had the time anymore, so i stopped trying. I wonder if he's still alive'...
Load More Replies...I f*****g hate LinkedIn. It's just as shallow as IG without the pretty photos.
most of these people seem like they don't have actual jobs. It's just a bunch of made-up toxic bu**sh*t to massage their egos and make them feel important. I feel sorry for their families, wives, kids, etc.
Seems to me that an awful lot of this hustle is to make it look like you're working, when you wouldn't be caught dead doing actual work. It takes a lot of effort to a) convince someone what you're selling is real, b) convince them they need it, c) convince them they need it from you, and d) convince them your price is worth it. A. Laubin Oboes has a multi year wait list for their instruments, and very close to $0 advertising budget. They haven't had to convince anyone of anything in about 60 years
