I am very silly I just realised i read the post at 1:09 wrong and he was actually talking about delivering it while in Barcelona and not on the plane, my bad, still a cringe post though
Haha oh George
You like kids
George your crimes have not been forgiven
@@sageghosts what
I was just about to scold you for this
"Everybody has to be there, nobody wants to be there" is really Linkedin summed up.
bot
Unless its these psychos making twits of themselves.
U also have the top comment on the aimsy vid I watched
Heya you again!
Stolen no doubt
LinkedIn is a goddamn hellhole when it comes to fake positivity. Everyone is trying to boast about "oh, I attended this awesome seminar", "I got to participate in this cool nation-wide project", "I enjoyed my time at company X, but immediately got hired at company Y, while rejecting company Z because it didn't fit my standards" or even worse "I will take a small break and figure out what kind of job I want next".
I'm jobless and actively applying for jobs, and I get mentally nauseous whenever I briefly have to log on just to provide my profile url for the next job search I do. People are so pretentious. F*CKING HIRE ME ALREADY, after 50+ tailored applications and 100-300 applicants for each one I'm literally going insane
It's truly awful, I only joined to job search and left a year or so later because it's filled with monumental pricks! It sucks for job searching too, had zilch from there. Don't give up hope! I've always had better luck with recruitment agencies or other job sites, LinkedIn sucks ass... best of luck to you 👍
😊😊
I managed to do my last job hunt without using linkedIn and I'm so grateful. It probably took me longer and I lost on some jobs automatically for sure but god, I hate linkedin and having to build a network.
omg tell me abt it ;-; ive been trying to find a job since i graduated HS and for abt 3 years now, 30 diff accounts of job sites, 7 diff resumes and im just tired of looking,, it sucks seeing other ppl have such an easy time with it while not even getting your foot anywhere near the door
"Great initiative Tom!" It just all seems so fake, I'm only on there to follow the organisations relevant to me, which are Government Orgs.
Saw someone on LinkedIn post about the brith of their new baby. They called it “the companies newest shareholder” and put it in a company branded baby grow 💀
Some people are just disgusting. Is there anyone that actually believes this bullshit? Or are all these people just going through the motions thinking everyone else will believe it?
You know that saying about how every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child? Yeah, that seems extremely pertinent here.
More linkedin cringe pls. We need to normalize shitting on this website the same we do with Facebook
I'm still coming to grips with the fact that LinkedIn is considered a social media platform now. I haven't opened that coffin since at least 2014-ish and it was just a place to put your resume back then ... Jesus, this is like waking up from a coma and finding the world altered in a way that you could have never predicted.
i thought linkedin was a job application site
It is, don't forget, you need 5 years of experience at the age of 18
@@yamiali1783 by the age of 18 they expect 21 years of experience
@@yamiali1783 i thought it was and yeah gonna go start grafting at 13😂 people baffle me with there ideas tbf
@@yamiali1783And 20 by 25!😁
It’s supposed to be. In practice, it’s what happens when you try to make an internet community out of nothing but finance bros
I feel sorry for the grind people. They always seem miserable
"My dentist said I grind in my sleep...he's real as for saying that"
Fr, it's their whole personality and it's dreadful
That's why they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are. Helps them feel better about their sad, pointless grind of an existence.
Dont feel sorry for them, they're the fools who wanted to everyone miserable, a negative emotion black hole
Can't be miserable if you're always grinding, no time to think about it, because there is no sleep, just more grinding
Not to get radical on a George Memeulous video but to get radical on a George Memeulous video. I fucking hate how capitalism has created a society where there are people who think that people should put all there time into working and that being capable of doing work is a necessity for people being able to live
no one's last words was ever "i wish i worked more".
Balance in all things; a lot of work will always need doing for a society to prosper and provide for its citizens. But yeah. Our current society provides way too much for a select few of its citizens, with no particular correlation to actual merit or effort involved in their work or anything. In fact, the most privileged tend to do the least work. They just sit, and own, and collect the fruits of others' efforts. This is not a working economy, this is banditry in a metaphorical silk gown - or in the Emperor's New Clothes, that we are only just beginning to gather the courage to admit are just not there. Much like the 'value' of the wealthy themselves.
Anti capitalism on a George m video… so real of you
I mean being capable of doing work has always been a neccesity for people to live so I'm not sure if I get your point there.
@@kodiwtf my point is, though I should've clarified it more, that a universal basic income should exist which covers the base essentials in life

5:57 Chris Donnelly's tiktoks are worth watching, he basically exposes dumb bosses and managers and it's so infuriating
LinkedIn is also the reverse of Tinder, where women makes themselves attractive to nerdy men who reject them
So here's something I've learned pulling an 16 hrs a day, 7 days work (yes, weekend was not off the chart, very huge crunch time)
It made me so much exhausted that by the time I was done with the work, my brain was constantly saying "please leave, please leave, I don't need the money, please leave." It was as if I were in a survival situation, like you see in horror movie. Kinda reminded me of the "Ready Or Not" movie.
I hope you listened to your brain, mate. Please, tell me you did?
@@Thurnmourer Yes I did, Im now working for a much better corpo. Salary is good, worktime is usual 9-5, overtime aint a thing here, in short situation is much better. Well, thanks to that workplace, my current employee took me in for the experience.
'Imagine where you could be working 80 hours'
Divorced, probably in the grave by the time I'm 40
I once walked 15 miles home in the snow because my work didnt let me go home when it started knowing I catch buses and sure enough they all got cancelled. They said how I could just sleep in office, but I would have to sleep in my office chair and would be woke up when the early shift came in. I left work at 7pm, and didn't get home until about 2am. Needless to say, I did not turn up the next day and my work actually did want to give me disciplinary for missing the day
Such a weird place filled with people virtue signalling non stop.
And the virtue is always not virtues at all like "give up your family to hustle 25/8"
@@Fr0stbite1801 it is to the target audience 😂
the hotel lobby one is literally a wheterspoons in Dublin lol
Orson Welles made a movie about how trying to always prove yourself leads to a life of misery, solitude, and regret.
5 minutes of a LinkedIn reaction video is 10 minutes IRL
HES SAYING HE DID THE SEMINAR IN BARCELONA NOT WHILST ON THE PLANE
Calm doon
I am on LinkedIn by virtue of being potentially seen by future employers. No more. No less.
Linkedin is full of roasters
I think he meant he was delivering the international sales seminar from Barcelona Spain, George 😂😂
How can you make a bed in just 60 seconds?
I'll be honest, I don't think UK LinkedIn is this dire. American grind culture is just wild... and bizzare.
RIP To The Dog 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
4:55 - Imagine bragging about how smart you are for "investing" your money ($35 of it, about enough to buy a one-billionth ownership share in some utterly worthless company, I imagine), while failing a math question as simple as "15+15=...?", in a hypothetical context _you_ created in the first place. Smh, smh.
Just goes to show, rich people =/= smart people... as much as they love to pretend the opposite.
3 weeks of off time even PTO would get me fired for sure 💀. 3 weeks is wilddddd
Not in Europe, where we have 4 weeks plus some extra days off.
anyone who has a packed linkedin profile is either a narcissist or just extremely good at what they do
U will never convince me to work longer hours if you arent guaranteeing me the salary. A suggestion that in the long run i’ll be richer for giving 50% extra without a direct paycheck, is absolutely ridiculous. Dont give in guys. Work what u have to, then go home and have fun, enjoy your life.
I think most of those who preach about working 20 hours a day simply don't realize that they are wasting time on a social thinking that someone will actually find them cool 😵💫 Of course, if you have the opportunity it's better to spend extra time working than to throw it out the window, but you also need to be able to re-establish your mental serenity in order to perform at your best at work. 🤷♂
6:39 when your parents tell you about how they got to school
10:57 damn vergil really let himself go
A lot of stuff posted on Linkedin these days is a wind up
At 10:50, I completely agree.
Since you mentioned Come Fly With Me, how about doing a rewatch with your friends, geezer?
I was thinking off making a comedy company on LinkedIn and just make some weird ass shit to sell in.
This guy is about to talk to you about LinkedIn and then pull out his gun and rob you LOL
I am so glad to be living in Europe where this insane grind culture is no where to be seen.. I think I'd lose it if i had one friend/coworker who was like that lol
If i ever get fired Im using "promoted to entrepreneur"

12:10 Imagine telling on yourself publicly like this
The thing about LinkedIn is that yes it’s awful but it can help finding jobs. My last few have been on there so I keep it for my next move
George threads is so much better than twitter now😂
People struggle to buy one house PERIOD let alone one a year
my other half gets up at 4 to get to uni, we are glasgow based his uni is in edinburgh this is 3 times a week its brutal
for context i get up with him and make his tea etc i have been tired for a year and he is close to a mental breakdown we are moving to the capital but not untill september, cant wait for sleep
I hate linked in.
6:43 yooo that’s my birthday!!🎂
ahhh, i see where i've been going wrong, i've been buying two houses a year, that's why i'm broke af
George you’re a specially driven person
Hey!! The bandanna is centered!! 🤗
Yo!
But... i dont want a career... i had one and it was crap. Ya know why? Because i literally did nothing else and was miserable!
Now i work part time and i love it!
So they can stay awake on planes, ill be happily snoozing through the films
You bastard. There is an alarm sound in the intro.
1:49 You will be the most enthusiastic , go getter i have seen , and boring as hell i bet
Been watching since 2016 💪💪
4:52 this guy clearly doesn't invest because he'd be bragging about investing in multiple funds rather than just the S&P500, diversification is literally the main principle of investing jfc.

Fucking hate linkedin. That's a site that needs to go permanently
Its main way of attracting new users seems to be having existing users invite everyone in their email contacts without knowing it. Nor consenting to it, obviously...
@@hazukichanx408probably did consent to it tho when logging in or signing up
The only thing it's good for is seeing how many of my Physics classmates went into consulting and other such wankery
This is an example of when 4chan and anonymous would be very handy
i just interviewed 30 candidates and guess what? not a single one of them was accepted.
want to know why?
they all kept asking about 'safe working conditions', 'being able to leave the building', 'getting a salary' and 'not wanting to be whipped until their morale improves'. 🤦♀
job seekers: slave mas- i mean, interviewers don't like all these kinds of questions! it tells them what's important to you and whether or not you're a hard-working sla- i mean, 'committed hustler'.
Same here, they kept waffling about human rights and all sorts of other nonsense. Back in my day being whipped was a privilege, it proved you were a man of substance.
No joke, I've literally heard a manager in upper management say something along these lines before: "We want to be assured that our employees would be happy to work and provide for both their company's prosperity and their employer's comfort and lifestyle even if they haven't received pay in months or even years time. Sometimes we may even count on your own money to pay for some of the company's costs and mandatory training. It just means we can depend on you to be a subservient slav - I mean a dedicated, good-natured and hard working employee who's valuable to the company. We also don't like hearing employees unnecessarily complain about being mistreated, especially when the mistreatment is being done on low levels, or low levels as perceived by the company. We also value our employees mental and physical well being, that way they can still provide for us at their optimal level." Look, there is some truth that employees should be ready to resiliently and professionally handle some things, as well as prioritize some things in their workplace, especially when its a job working with the public or some sort of client, but to be treated or viewed as a near slave or even mildly abused shouldn't be the standard work life.
Meanwhile those of us looking for coworkers: pls just hire someone to help lighten our load already!!!!
@@jin394then they hire the one armed gimp who's no use to the Job, so they can click their new disability check list. 😅
Job:duel lifting items with weights from 25-50 kg 😂😂😂
I heard this too
LinkedIn just the tinder for jobs except almost everyone there is insane
so the yubo for jobs 😭
So quite like Tinder.
so tinder but for jobs
The “except” part doesn’t exclude Tinder.
It's probably more like Grindr...
''there is no point being the richest man in the graveyard....,,'' quote my late father , he left me some things not much , but he and my mum enjoyed life to the full and good on them ,expect nothing anything you get is a bonus
Damn thats a good quote, sounds like a good guy
My Grandad used to say that, And "You cant it with you" whenever he spent any
"Shut up..." is the best possible response to this nonsense
bro was dead for 9 mins? wow hes a real hard worker since the brain is alive for only about 3 mins max after oxygen loss
‘the weekend is a modern invention’ compared to when workers had no rights?? also literally in the medieval age they worked short days, they spent a lot of time recreationally
There is a slight caveat to that, a lot of 'free' time was spent for religious purposes (Sunday mass, religious holidays, etc). Summertime was spent mostly harvesting - one could expect to work 12+ hours a day while doing that. However, in winter after crops were sown, there was more free time
I hate LinkedIn so much but unfortunately it’s necessary for the job search ☹️
People in secondary school with Linked In profiles always annoyed tf out of me 😭😭
wa people in academy/ highschool/ secodnary have profiels ruhh waaa
@@justaguywithapowerpole Its just a bit wet mate imo
I feel like they're the type of ppl to make Andrew Tate like courses
My English teacher forced us to make one in year 7
I remember accidentally making a LinkedIn when I was like 10 or 11 because you could sync it with Google or something like that
Everyone thinks that reddit and twitter have the most unhinged opinions on the internet
So linkedin is like the corporate version of those, i say this because I've been there(still recovering to this day)
0.8 miles is just a little over 1 km, on average that would take at most 16 minutes. Okay it’s snowing and they’re bare foot, that should make you move faster honestly. I live in Canada and I had to walk like 1 km to get home from the bus stop, even when it was snowing or pouring rain, if my shoes were soaked through it made me walk faster because they’d be wet and then freezing at the same time. I’m really stuck on the fact they repeated 0.8 miles a couple times as if that’s the longest walk they’ve ever been on 😭
Edit: where I live in Canada when it gets cold it gets COLD, like in the negatives
Imagine being smart enough to invest on trading platforms all your money, when you are convinced that 15 + 15 = 35.
that woman in the private plane got caught out for faking it from her Instagram,, she actually hired a fake private plane for one hour that was in a hangar to take her Instagram photos, you can see it is in a hangar if you zoom in and look through the windows, there are also no pilots in the cockpit. you can see the bad paint job on the step up to the cockpit, the thrust levers are in the ground idle position, so it is not in the air, the panel above the pilots is missing lots of switches that would normally be there.
There are plenty of aircraft interior mock-ups around that are exclusively hired out to Insta-whores et al on an hourly basis so they can fake it rather than make it!
George…. I think he meant he was giving a seminar in Spain, not on the actual plane
Old people will ache and groan about participation trophies then hop on LinkedIn where they expect people to care when they attend a meeting
Haha stupid OLD people. If they were smart they would have stayed young.
LinkedIn started as like, a way to check out jobs and make career connections, right? Did I dream that? Is there some sort of singularity that slowly transforms every app and website into Facebook/Twitter?
i had to use linkedin for a school project and i remember i got a comment from some random guy that was like “this is a great video! but here’s some feedback on what you can do better!” FIRST OF ALL WHO ARE YOU???
Those are super insufferable ppl. Seen them in most of companies i worked for.
Constantly "working" and doing so little. I realized i do more productive work in 1 hr then they do in a day.
Someone working before their start date is someone currently unemployed.
The start date is generally the notice period that they have to give for their current job.
The last job I took (still my current job) I joined a week early, but only because it was a week away working and staying in a Hotel every night. It saved me a bunch of money that I didn't need to spend on food back at home!
linked in was supposed to be for people looking for work just ended up being bitcoin stans
Lol, In Sweden most people go on vacation for four weeks during the summer.
It is the norm. Letting people have their uninterrupted time off is good not only for the company but also for the employees.
The idea of "that shows them that they can manage without you" comes from people that don't know how much it cost to find, train and get someone up to the same level of work skill as the the one that was let go.
I have a new job (Germany) and we have just been asked to submit our annual leave and make sure to take at least 3 weeks of vacation during summer. Minimum 2 weeks. Americans are strange.
Yeah. It’s bloody annoying having crucial people just fuck off for ages.
Funny how we can both work hard and have 6 weeks of vacation a year in my country. You need to unionize.
Every person in this vid should start an alpha podcast.
I’d love to see the parents story of why they were chatting about their kids dead dog on linkedin
If LinkedIn was owned by Andrew Tate 💀
There's one thing that's evidently missing in the minds of those posters who think they are HR geniuses for squerzing the last bit of lifeblood from employees that way. And that is that as a candidate, you are free to tell them anytime to get bent, and go look for a job elsewhere where they don't treat you like you're in a Soviet gulag.
Thank you for reminding me why I’m a socialist

RIP To That Person’s Dad 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
great video to remind myself why I'm a socialist bro we gotta stop these people
Never had LinkedIn profile and never will.
linkedin has done absolutely nothing for my career and job search. I was getting recruiters reaching out but they end up ghosting me, when I try to follow up about a SWE role I know I can do in my sleep.

The guy with working on weekends has a point sometimes at my job someone has to be at the company on Saturday for 12 hours with nothing to do. Due to it beeing the weekend the 12h „work“ are 27h pay(9h*2+3h*3) 😂.
