Corporate Cucks / Hustle Culture / LinkedIn Loonies - Corporate bootlickers and shills

I have a former boss who likes a lot of posts on Linkedin. No big deal, right? He is pushing 50 and all the posts he likes are from women half his age. What a dildo.

I also know a woman who was in HR at the same company but left to be a manager for a real technical department doing real work. Just think, the work culture at the old company was so toxic that even the fucking HR lady said "fuck this" and found a non-HR job just to get out of there.

The ideal workforce for most modern corporations is a totally elastic labour pool that can be scaled up and down at a moment's notice and can be monitored very closely to ensure they're extracting the absolute maximum possible value from each employee.

This post is good but most corporations have already “solved” these problems. Most of them have outsourcing and temp agency contracts to scale the labor pool up and down. If an employee gets too big for his britches, they’ll just find a bunch of minor offenses to needle him with and if he quits, no big deal, he wasn’t the right “fit.” AI will have flaws but there are a lot of useless office lumps who are often kept around to bolster ESG scores or nepotism. They never contributed in a meaningful way either so they can continue to just post on social media all day.

Quiet quitting might have had an effect 20 years ago, but with the state of automation today, plus recent breakthroughs in natural language AI, I honestly think the next step will be to do away with huge swathes of human employees entirely where possible.

I’ve said this before but quiet quitting should only be utilized when you’re actively looking for another job. Managers are being trained on how to identify quiet quitting and are being pushed to get rid of them. Unless you qualify for a “diverse” category, then they’ll keep you around. It’s another way to purge white guys from the talent pool.

It’s why I advocate for identifying as LGBT on your HR profile. That basically means you get to escape these office witch hunts. Of course, the real question is why you want to work for these places to begin with but many medium- and large-sized corporations are doing this. It’s not going to get better any time sooner either.

Linkedin is like those "professional circles" for newbies. Everyone who is active on linkedin is either looking for a job, or looking to hire someone for a job. No one who actually has a good job spends much time there.

Nobody actually gets a job off Linkedin, it's for vapid white women and DEI hires to post vapid feel good nonsense and corporations to spew propaganda.

If you need an entry level white collar gig you are much better off just calling Robert Half or something. Linkedin is less than fucking useless.

Where are you getting this? Tons of people (myself included) have gotten hired off LinkedIn. Sure, the jobs are hit or miss, but it's not impossible to get hired of the site, either directly or through a connection.

It really depends on whether anyone can hire you johnny on the spot. Linkedin (as well as other competitive sites such as Indeed) are a mixed bag of getting hired or not at all.

I always hated those corporate "activities" to try and add "fun" to your work. Call me a jew but the amount of money I get paid is the only thing that effects my happiness at work.

Pay me more? No problem I'll stay and work for you. Pay me a shit amount for the work? I think I'll leave. Try and add cringe kindergarten activities to form a sense of "community"? I'm giving my two weeks notice.

I wonder how those workaholics tell their kids "Sorry kid/s, I can't be you today because I will be out on a treasure hunt/ some other kindergarten bullshit with my coworkers!"

They drag their children to it and make them be more miserable than if Daddy just left them at home.

One thing led to another and I found out "work spouse" is not a new concept.

With so many of the quality hours of a day spent at work, having someone there who has an intuitive understanding of the pressures, personalities, interactions, and underlying narratives of the workplace society can add safety and comfort to what can otherwise be an alienating environment.

Am I crazy or do I think this is actually a symptom of a bigger problem?

It's a symptom of a bigger problem. We spend most of our waking hours at work. That's why we hear stories of shitheads cheating on their spouses with their coworkers.
