82 Funny Memes Mocking The Go Getters And Grinders That Remind Us That It Wasn’t Supposed To Be This Way (New Pics)
LinkedIn is a curious space. Part professional tool, part social network, it’s designed for the business community, sure, but what people use it for depends on who you ask. Some use it purely for job hunting, some to receive and share news about their industry—and others, let’s be honest, to creep on that former colleague who never pulled their weight but somehow just got promoted again.
Somewhere in this strange mix, the platform has earned a reputation as something of a cringefest, and it’s not hard to see why. Scroll for a minute and you’ll inevitably come across the humblebrags, the mundane epiphanies repackaged as “leadership lessons,” and “Let’s connect!” sign-offs on posts that read like they were written by people who’ve never heard of work-life balance.
It’s all part of the “grindset” that groups like LinkedIn Memes For Go Getter Teens take to task, showing just how unhinged it’s all become. Check out a few of their funniest posts, no connection request required.

And it's never enough. Sisyphos at least knew why he was bound by his neverending task. Do hustle-bros?

Good. That means it's a genuine job advert, not a fake one.

The initial assumption is that it is a PBCAK issue (problem between chair and keyboard) and that they would fix it quickly....

If it's the bottom right one, then yes, either he's riding a rollercoaster or he's used the Grindr-in.

My great grandmother advocated AGAINST an eight-hour work day. She said only eight hours didn't allow her to earn enough money to feed her family. All sorts of things wrong there.

I was looking at this one, thinking “Who the hell is unfamiliar with KFC?” and assumed it was either stupid or I don’t get the joke. It was when scrolling to the next entry that I saw the chicken!🐓 🤣

Rules don’t apply to exempt employees. Which is basically everyone in management, supervisory and trainer roles. There are others, but that is a start of the list. Since exempt employees earn the same wages no matter how many or few hours you work to finish your tasks. I worked through every single lunch break for the last 5 plus years of my employment. When I went out on disability, I had so many accrued flex leave hours that I got a full salary for months and had to wait for those payments to cease to submit my pension disability benefits. But, I didn’t have to wait several months for that to kick in because they were already receiving information from my doctors while I was spending down my accrued time.

There's only so many bars and so many people you can pull this on before you have to start going to other areas and cities and the cost of that is going to cut down what you make.

That caption sounds like a joke but it may actually be legit. There are things employers can't directly ask about (race, seㅤxuality, gender identity, reproduction plans etc.) and so they try to find more or less stupid ways to circumvent these rules.

I can see it says he performs “corporate humor,” but I’m unsure whether this is some of that. Broadcasting my SSN on the net terrifies me. Hell; Saturday, some thieves went shopping with my debit card number (I know not how), and spent nearly $750 before my bank alerted me and I filed a fraud claim, and the spigot was turned off. It seems they didn’t believe it, and so rode around Virginia checking the balance at several different ATMs. *That* terrifies me. My SSN, though? I’d prolly fling myself in front of a bus before I’d tell it to absolute strangers. This post seems to belong to the “horror” genre of tweets.

Ken is funny as hell, and because LinkedIn in so full of psychopaths, a lot of people haven’t twigged that he’s a comedian.

A good flight crew isn't a democracy yes, it's more of a comunune of equals when it comes to safety. Anyone is encouraged to speak up and inform the pilot or crew chief or who may need to know of any issues. Flight crews aren't rigid disciplinarians , they are a band of brothers keeping each other alive in a flying blender 2000 feet in the air.

ISB = Islamabad, Pakistan. KSA is Saudi Arabia. Given the treatment of women in KSA, this is a wise move.

My current lifemaxxing stack: Get up. Feed birds. Feed cat. Feed me. Play on the computer. Feed me lunch. Read a book. Do a crossword puzzle. Play online games. Write. Feed me supper. Watch a movie. Go to bed. Rinse, repeat. Change only when something better comes along. After working for 38 years, it's heaven.

Reminds me of that one time I missed a ferry because of an accident that made me late. I got chewed up by my superior, who initially said I should have planned for the possibility of traffic being slow. I asked "hm, how much of a security margin would you recommend for next time? -try an hour, an hour and a half! -cool, I had two hours. As explained, a man died, the road was closed for 8 hours. -well, that's very convenient for you, isn't it? And now I just have to take your word for it. -it sure is more convenient for me than him or his family, but it's in the newspapers, I can send you a link to an article. -ew your morbidity is off-putting, I don't need to read such things! -ok well if anyone wants to check, I can send it, otherwise you just need to believe what I say." Next ferry was two days later and my ex had left so he couldn't drive me to an airport, + that job really didn't pay me enough to afford a taxi+plane. The mayor of the village came to my workplace when I came back, to ask if I was alright after seeing the crash (I was, but props to this guy), but my superior was a major a*****e who tried to get revenge somehow.

And a lawyer would tell you that anyplace you even think of a client is work, so bill them accordingly.

If it takes that many words to tell it, you're doing something wrong.

I actually couldn't tell which ones were real and which ones were satire most of the time. LinkedIn is pathetic.

I have a LinkedIn account that I haven't looked at for over a year, since I was made redundant, realised I was replaced by a machine and did some maths and started working part time in a supermarket. I don't have to deal with this s**t anymore and instead I have 4 days off a week and am much happier.

I had a boss when I worked at a small company <15 employees, that used my eMail address from my resume to create an account for me. I had to fight to get the password reset so I could delete the account
