Welcome to the bizarre world of corporate buzzwords, where "NATO Applying" reigns supreme. This isn't your granddad's NATO; it’s the latest fad in job applications where caring less about the outcome is the new black. Strapping in as we dissect the absurdity of not being emotionally attached to whether you land the job or not-it's not apathy, it's a strategy!
In today's deep dive, we'll cover:
The tragicomedy of companies striving for employee engagement through painfully awkward team-building activities. Who knew competitive Easter egg hunts could inspire workplace enthusiasm?
CEOs and HR gurus pontificating on the virtues of mission statements to deter NATO applying. Hear about how knowing your company’s "why" is supposedly better than any salary increase (we doubt it).
An uproarious roundup of the latest and "greatest" corporate jargon. From "Quiet Quitting" to "Shadow IT," these buzzwords are not just buzzkill, they're a whole new level of corporate speak insanity.
We'll explore the weird and wacky tactics companies are using to keep employees engaged, dissect dubious office policies, and reveal how shadow policies are creating a new underground in corporate culture.
If you're in for a laugh and some eye-opening revelations about the modern workplace, smash that like button, subscribe, and share this video. Get ready for a rollicking ride through the jungle of corporate nonsense!
Tune in for more episodes where we expose the ludicrous, the funny, and the downright absurd in the corporate world. Keep watching and keep questioning-your sanity may depend on it!

A bit whiny coming from a privileged dude like yourself?
notion's legit, been using it as workflow for my book cover workflows for a long time now.
A CEO is standing in a parking lot with one of his young employees. “Johnson,” he says while putting his arm around the young man, “You see those huge mansions up there in the foothills? Well, if you apply yourself, I mean really apply yourself, work hard and keep your nose to the grindstone, one day…one day Johnson, I’m going to live in one of those.” Keep up the hard work everyone!
Na, he'll tell him one day he'll own all of them and live in none of them because he'd rather live in his million dollar apartment 1 block away from the office so hee only with his private driver for 1 minute
Lol, good one! 😊
I only hear this being dictated by JK Simmons in sincerely
@@YuckFou0x0FFFF Jesus Christ dude, it’s a joke.
"Keep up that teamplayer, rock n' roll attitude, Johnson! Thanks for working 80 hours this week. As a token of my appreciation, here's this ballpoint pen that's been sitting in my desk for the past three weeks. I'm so impressive. I'm really going places, Johnson."
Johnson (Unfortunately said only internally, as his ass would get fired if said externally): "Yeah, to hell, I hope."

Megacorps would breed their own workforce if they could.

Being invested in my job got me fired last month so...who gives a shit.
Just like a whistleblower
If you're at a for-profit company and you're not just trying to get paid, your values do not align with actual corporate culture.
These jobs ain't loyal.
I had a new job a year ago and I ended up with some pneumonia after doing inventory (possibly related. Very dusty old shit).
I called out for 5 days because I was very ill.
Got fired for no explanation.
I was literally one of their best employees already I learned all the assembly tasks very rapidly 😂 they had me training others 2 weeks in on stuff I didn't know how to do because I was apperently able to read the diagrams.
They are so stupid they cast out literally one of their only good employees that could be retained because I actually liked the job.
Everyone else just bounces, horrible retention. 😂
It's funny how I get paid more and more the less of a shit I give about my job.
Just had my supervisor talking about my overnight travel percentage "well we gotta be flexible if the company is successful we are successful" and I'm like..."nahhh, I don't give a shit about that. This is a paycheck and I like being at home." The unspoken part is I could get another job next week.
How can we stop people from realizing they're burning through their prime years, trapped in a cubicle by debt?
You just described corporate hell. Use people's prime ages of productivity for themselves and then fire them when they're no longer useful.
FIRE you work hard then retire at 40

I interviewed for a job a few years ago that i didnt get. The recruiter called me up after the interview and said they didnt hire me because "though you are qualified for the job, you seemed like you could work anywhere.". Like, they only wanted to hire someone who would be emotionally crushed if they didn't get a job offer.
You need to be struggling.
How can they lock you in a terrible situation if you have options? 😒
If you’ve applied for jobs everywhere, and are getting asked to interview, it is difficult to find the time to research even the basics aboutthe company. Companies like to think that they have a unique corporate culture, and worry that you won’t fit in. Hiring managers often don’t have their priorities straight, and waste time on things that are inconsequential.
That sounds like a way to profile a white male but obviously I don’t know your demographic.
Sounds like a typical delusional woman..asking taking
Some of those "unforgettable experiences" look like nightmares I've had. That's not something most people want to do, especially us introverts.
Funny how "inclusivity" never applies to introverts :/
@@GerardMenvussa nothing makes me feel more uncomfortable than that kind of crap. I'd rather call in for my shift if I know it's coming.
As an Autistic person looking for a job (I got laid off in March), those kinds of “unforgettable experiences” will guarantee me having a few unforgettable meltdowns
Yeah those activities are absolute cringe. I don’t mind having some fun on the job like playing a sport, but silly children games? Wtf
I'd tell the kumbaya crowd with the swaying dance touch me and there'll be trouble.
Spare me the infantilism.
It's weird how this company is trying to drag people back into their childhoods. That raises more questions.
right? it's like a great manipulation technique in a way. Inner child expression brings you back to fond carefee times in your life during youth. Then you project those feelings onto the company and become more loyal. Kind of like love bombing that cults do.
Yeah it's like they're one of my narcissistic parents. 😂
nah nah nah the easter eggs hunts and plastic toys are for the actual child workers since they're rolling back labor laws 🤣
And I notice it's women in leadership positions that seem to be doing these things.
@@citydweller99 It's the maternal instinct that they suppressed for the sake of a career bleeding out.
Imagine if these CEOs could figure out that we're only here because we need a job not for any other reason
Imagine if the king could figure out that the peasants only work for him for protection from raiders, not for any other reason.
Imagine the CEO is only there for the salary.
I tried to be engaged once. I was pissed off all the time. Would not recommend.
Do enough work to not get fired, appear busy enough to not get more work
That's exactly how I felt as a low level manager. No one above me ever listened to me or my concerns or took my suggestions seriously so I was just wasting my time trying to be "engaged". I eventually stopped trying and just nodded my head and agreed with everything they said.
Corporations may *think* they want employees to be attached to the outcomes, but they absolutely do NOT. If employees are attached to the outcome of their work, they know how much profit they are bringing vs what they are being paid.
Bring a more productive, quick and effective solution to a task at your work place and see how fast your higher ups will shut you down. Best case scenario is you will just be exploited further and then they’ll ask why you are unproductive when you are unable to come up with other ideas or can’t keep up.
HR women creating so much misery all over the world.
Should we start getting on companies for ghosting us? Seems that they are not attached when they create fake job postings.
These dumb buzzwords on LinkedIn feels like a CEO echo chamber.
Not Attached to Outcome sounds like a management style. Employees become disengaged when tasks are beneath their skill set. It's called down-skilling.
or if your spouse makes the money and you only have a job to keep from them giving you the side eye.
if paying your mortgage is not on the line, you are less stressed out by outcomes.
I wish I were joking right now, but I’m watching this on my phone while I am at my company’s home office for a “team building” week (I really do wish I were joking, because I wish I weren’t here). All that terrible “fun stuff in the office” crap is particularly hitting for me right now.
I love how all these buzzword articles in Forbes come down to “employees are suddenly accurately describing how we treat them instead of passively pretending this is all fine and good”. These articles are all right on the edge of screaming “they’re onto us!”
-Meaningful Purpose
-Hunting for plastic eggs filled with Candy
Pick one.
Lol wonder why company execs don't have as a "mission" to treat and pay employees well 🤔
Nixon. He undid the gold standard as we all know, but ALSO ordered that corporations no longer have to serve the public good. So...Nixon.
@@lowwastehighmelanin “Aaaarrrrroooooo!”
Stop asking what your company can do for you, but ask what you can do for your company, and it is never, never, never, enough.
"We only want the most desperate of applicants to apply." ( but they should also be highly experienced, and not expect a market rate salary. )
Pay increases hasn't been tied to production (outcome) increases in several decades, so you're damn right I'm not attached to outcomes. Attach my pay to my value again and maybe that'll change.
1972
The only thing tied to production has been lavish CEO bonuses.
Unpopular opinion: YOUR skills arent valuable enough to be scalable with salary. There are plenty of people getting paid a ton of money based on their results.
I swear all this bullshit is just to help justify HR budgets. The HR department has got to be the most worthless department in any organization. Really, what value do they provide other than spend budget on stupid shit?
100% that
Thats why im quitting management. Starting a new job next week. Was grtting tired to feed the employes with the HR BS.
I watched once as an HR broad used an employee to setup two of the best employees in a department for firing with cause. Because she had a grudge against that department’s manager.
The third employee then became non-fireable and a nightmare for all in that department.
How else is management going to justify hiring their cretinous friends with worthless degrees?
I agree 1,000% with you!
HR departments are totally worthess nowadays.
Most HR departments are run by women... that should say enough
they are just trying to find out why, or make up a reason on why people don't want to work for their shitty corp.
Anything to avoid having to admit that every single problem with their companies is their fault and failure.
Chances are it's the latter. They've had disgruntled employees bring these issues up before in the past, they just chose to call them disgruntled employees and wait until the problem becomes a dilemma before acting. And that's it, it's an act because they don't care about fixing the problem.
Is it me or do all these explanations of buzzwords sound like made up reasons that giving employees more freedom and happiness is bad?
@@Itsgone99literally HRs job is to address these issues BEFORE they come to a head. That, and protecting the company against the government, is the ENTIRE job of HR
The HR people are just trying to keep there comfortable jobs. They would not make it doing actual work so they make things up to make it look like their doing something.
I thought NATO applying was normal. "Being emotionally involved" means you are more easy to exploit.
Honestly, I've never had a company give a crap about me before I was hired. I was scum on their boot...even with the experience and a mentor at the company...even if I was being poached by a recruiter. You get what you give.
If I took everything recruiters and hiring managers told me personally, or even as it was intended, I would have harmed myself or worse. People say the most awful things when they don't feel you can benefit them at all.
Even when you get hired : you're just a number.
Give your life to the machine for pennies on the dollar, and when you step out of line, you get the boot.
@@No.yourewrong In my experience, the less the role is paid the more people think of you as a number.
It's not about skill, work ethic, or competency...sometimes the most skilled retail associate leaving can break a store as much as the most skilled DBA breaks a business.
I apply to jobs just to see if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Going on interviews allows you to hone your presentation and interview skills for free. Some of my best interviews have been that way because I had nothing to lose. It also gives me an insight into how things are done in IT at other companies.
@@MrSubsound90 There is a recession now which is getting started. In a recession the highly skilled worker costs more than the Indian off shore. Especially true now since remoting is big you do not even need to file the h1b1 visa paperwork. Just buy a PO box in Bangalore and register as an Indian company and you can reply that DBA for someone willing to work for 30k a year.
Everyone is expendable
didn't know that not paying attention during mandatory (useless) meetings would cost 8.8 trillion in lost productivity. i am so proud!
The most effective team bonding I've ever seen was when we got $30/mo lunch credit. 100% self organized, no strings.
We'd go on our lunch hours, so just about no company time was used. We even ordered takeout and ate in office when we were busy.
Now we have $25/year on a "team" lunch, and that barely covers a lunch. And we have various "teambuilding" crap flung our way, sometimes with external organizer. On company time.
I guess you mean $30/day paid 30 days every month?
$1/day for lunch is an insult if it were true.
This video is giving a lot of people that "corporate PTSD."
The more I see shit like this the more I’ve come to realize that business schools and MBAs only learn how to ‘motivate’ employees without actually giving any meaningful raises or actually valuable perks
$8.8 trillion is peanuts compared to what society loses from having to deal with entitled HR, middle managers and greedy CEOs
I wonder where they even got that number from anyways? My guess is straight from the depths of their asses since, unless there is a physical property or time loss, you can't really accurately assess how much money has been "lost" when that money never existed in the first place. Companies don't "lose" 8.8 trillion dollars due to disengaged employees, and the only reason that bogus statistic is even included is probably just to make it seem like a bigger problem than it is to the gaggle of HR and management types who read these articles.
NATO applying is the smartest thing an employee can do.
Don't be emotionally attached to what's supposed to be purely a business transaction.
Yes, I can attest to that it is purely transactional.
Why get attached to a job that can be eliminated whenever the employer wants?
Why is the go to solution to motivate the workforce "be more culty"?
Cheaper than raises. Why give everyone a 5% raise when you can spend $100 on plastic Easter Eggs, dollar store candy, and $5 Dunkin Donuts gift cards?
Because it's cheaper to push a cult and exploit mentally fragile people than it is to face reality and pay good workers properly to attract talent and keep them around.
Because it works really well on some percentage of people
@@ajkulac9895 On * stupid people.
Say it how it is, stop sugar coating it, most people who can vote and work in these jobs are too stupid to be voting or working in these jobs, face the facts people we are running the country(s) and planet into the ground servicing women and idiocracy.
Because the alternative is to pay better wages - and corporate is cheap.
We live in a world whose companies ascribe to these sick, futile behaviors. Thank you for exposing these sick philosophies, Joshua.
If there's anything I've learned from employment articles online, it's that the ideal employee needs to be obnoxiously excited about their role, content with shit pay, willing to bend over backwards to accommodate the company's changing demands, unwilling to challenge compliance "ethics", extremely thankful for their jobs no matter the pay, treatment, or sense of meaning, willing to forgo a mattress or adequate sleep if it means making the company more money, willing to abort their or their wife's fetus for the sake of the company, thrilled to tattoo the company's logo on their forehead, willing to chant the company's mission statement 5 times a day while praying towards company headquarters, and willing to do unpaid work for their former employer after getting unceremoniously laid off, complete with a 5 star Glassdoor review.
You know. Normal corporate stuff.
For starters, yes, but they'll probably call what you said "minimal effort" and ask for much more.
"Only showing the bare minimum? You need to increase your productivity... Also, we're showing new arrivals from Venezuela your department a few days from now so pick it up so you look good to your new... Coworkers." ;)- Boss
"The mission is the reason you exist" wrongo. I define what my purpose is, not you. These psychos really be psychoing. They really think they're gods.
"Are you NATO applying?"
Yes, and I will not accept anything less than an F-35 pilot!
They keep trying to figure out this deep complicated problem of why productivity is dropping. How about, stop treating your employees like shit? Maybe that might help, just a thought. IDK.
Stop wage slaving your people.
Or… dare I say… pay them more? Actually make good on your promises of raises/promotions?
Nah fam, can't do that or graph won't go up anymore, it will go down or stay linear, we dont want that, graph must always go up or something is deeply wrong in the world!
Literally worked alongside these CEO and executive types as an IT person, not only do none of them have any idea what they are actually doing in the company, all of them are fleecing as much as they can for a yaucht or a mansion or a super car, the last one I had the displeasure of meeting had the audacity to call me his IT monkey when he couldn't even figure out why he couldn't save a DOCX to his documents folder on our network drive, because it was full of his family photos we had repeatedly told him and other staff to stop uploading to the network.
Please companies, just pay me well and respect me. That's all I need. Everything besides that does not matter.
Joke's on them, I'm Warsaw Pact applying
Hahahaha, good one.
They promote jobs they don’t intend to fill. So I apply for jobs whose offers don’t intend to accept. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
I am tired of these buzzwords, does artifical intelligence and machine learning werent enough for them ?? 😂😂😂 send these companies to UN
I'm for this particular buzzword. The more it becomes known, the more workers will become aware and adopt its principle.
Companies and managers treat their employees like disposable trash, so workers should reciprocate and have many options available and open.

@@markarca6360 so you’re saying you’ll lose like how NATO is losing in Ukraine?
Just a small comment from someone who's in IT security... "Shadow IT" may indeed sound like a stupid buzzword, but it is definitely real and a security risk. Because, for example, using public cloud storage to share files, while maybe more convenient to employees, can literally lead to violations of industry regulation and international laws (for example if you share highly regulated stuff like credit card information or PII/PHI), leading to *enormous* fines for the company. So yeah, it's a bit more complicated issue.. :)

That's incredibly close to my experience. Been down to the last two three or four times and the news that I didn't get the job, rather than seeming disastrous, now sounds like a thin, wet fart.
My friend, a software engineer, sent out hundreds of applications. He is very sad each day and just applied to do entry-level help desk.
"NATO Applying" is the inevitable outcome of today's burnout friendly job market. It's a simple math and psychology problem: Let's say you have 100 qualified candidates applying to 1 position. That's a 99% rejection rate. Now apply that 99% rejection rate across the job market and you end up with workers having to complete hundreds of applications just to get a job. This rejection rich application process then leads to psychological burn out surrounding the job application process. In the end, you end up with applicants that can no longer mentally buy in to the application process because of too much past traumatic experience.

It's the same crap as "working wives do X/$X amount of house labor on top of their 9-5". They just overinflate anything they can get away with to make the $ big when if you itemize it its all BS
I was wondering the same thing.
Almost no one is loyal to a corporation or any employer for that matter. They need a paycheck. I did a lot of this in the 90's; I just did not have a word for it. Great video.
NATO is a state of mind to aspire to. It took me some time to get there myself, to be able to go out and interview or compete or anything like that without getting stressed about how it might go. Worth it. Job interviews are usually fun now. I talk about things that are interesting to me and the other party for a while, and maybe they make me an offer, or maybe they don't, but for me it's just chatting with people for a bit. And eventually I get an offer from somewhere that I accept.
Corporation: Money talks, bullshit walks. It's just business.

When I saw 8.8 trillion dollars I thought to myself "wow, that's how much employees are missing out on ON TOP OF the wages they are already underpaid on.
these effing companies will do anything to deflect attention from the fact people are simply fed up not being paid fair wages that keep up with inflation, productivity gains and corporate profits.
the tech company i work for encourages us every year to do volunteering in the community to "make a difference", while they funnel profits through Ireland in order to pay almost no taxes in Canada. Start by paying your taxes before asking me to give my time for free.
Its not about being paid a fair wage. Im very well paid and im feedup.
If they pay you more, they will cut the quantity of employes. I rather have a smaller pay and dont have to work for 3 people
@@JonathanVachon777 So just don't do the job of 3 people. Accept the higher pay that you deserver for the job you are already doing. If you're suddenly expected to do the job of 3, just, you know, don't. It'll be weeks before management look to do anything about it and when they ask you tell them you're not doing the jobs of the roles they refuse to fill. If they press the issue, fight. Speak to a lawyer, speak to a union, speak to anyone and everyone that will listen. If you've a valuable skill set, you could also just leave and find another job.
Don't ever accept less in the hopes that the abuser will abuse you less.

Ultimately, the problem with HR is that most HR people are former sorority chicks.
Last company I was at, no one got a raise for two years (prior to 2020, so the economy was booming). Instead, we got pizza parties at work, and occasionally they'd switch it up to Amy's.
Aside from the fact that some cheap-ass in human resources (also known as culture and development) decided that pineapple doesn't belong on pizza (likely because it costs more to buy), when they started asking us for measurements so they could get us bomber jackets, we all basically went in one by one to the HR lady and said "Ma'am, none of us want the jacket. We would like reviews and raises instead. We can buy our own jackets."
There's something so disingenuous about "gifts" that you don't earn coupled with not getting the money and success that you keep being told you *DID* earn but didn't get.
"Emotional manipulation of workers is failing, we are not happy"
Well of course you aren't going to be happy being manipulated. Doesn't mean it will ever stop
You know the people who participated in that easter egg hunt still had to get all their tasks done that week. They're just going to work 2 extra hours in the evening to make up for it. My company does all expenses paid weeklong retreats with the whole company. They're fantastic and it's a really nice way to actually team-build without the stress of the work you're missing.
I'm 56 years old and I implore all young workers to just go for the paycheck. I've been in corporate America for almost 3 decades and I know what I'm talking about.
I've never heard shadow IT used in that context - But I work in IT support, specifically at a larger institution in terms of # of computers to provide operational support for. We've always seen (and teach) shadow IT as "those systems people are setting up with no plans for support and not telling you about, then coming back and making you responsible for any failure or unplanned interruptions". It's like a CYA thing.
I get that's not the way that phrase was used here, just had to provide my unsolicited two cents as someone who actually does have to clean up computer messes.
The arsepulls these companies perform to avoid talking about wages...
They (the companies) did it to themselves. Engagement leads to nothing more than more work for the same pay.
8.8 Trillion in loses, meanwhile humans have never been more productive in the work force...
Im 100% more likely to stay at a company that pays me appropriately compaired to other companies.
Haha, Shadow Learning. good one
Today I got rejected for a second interview for a part time job for a trading card company. Im officially done with this. Im so over qualified for that job and i didnt even get a chance. Screw every business bigger than one of two stores cuz they all get gigantic egos
Great video. Here in the UK they still love corporate away days with boards covered in stickers and what not.
Love the ongoing social engineering of jobs as "family" and "causes" - anything to get you to put up with more than you should. Jobs are transactional relationships - they pay you a certain amount for the use of your skills and knowledge for a certain number of hours.
As for "NATO Appliers" - the woman who appears to be trying to make fetch happen is CEO of a company that purports to teach people how to engage and create passion in employees. Looks like all the things I especially hate having forced on me.
This makes a tremendous amount of sense. Claim applicants don't care, so Corporations can ACT like they care and be the victim[s]. Perfect. When these employers fire employees, they can employ NATO in terms of their former employee's lives. "Yes we fired you, and your new inability to pay your bills is not our problem, but you should still be concerned with our company mission."
Do employers really think NATO applying is real? Are they in that much denial that workers are completely fed up with being underpaid, and mistreated in the work place? Should employees really be grateful that their income isn't paced with inflation, and employees need 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet?
"I know I can't pay my bills, but today at work, we ran around the car park looking for eggs filled with goodies. I got a 5$ gift card for Starbucks. That won't fully pay for a coffee, but at least I can take 5$ off the price."
That was a really smooth ad transition
It's almost as though this Jennifer Dulski is trying to build a franchise around a trademark.
An entire year I searched for a job every day, in person, online, references. Found one by a recruiter, office was cold and depressing. Sit in a cubicle for 9 hours, get tracked for being 3 minutes past your 15, forced to take 50 calls, my 6 supervisors are just constantly in video calls every single minute of every day. Not once in 3 months did they ask how my morning was going when I showed up early at 4:15 and even left late at 1:30.
The fundamental problem is that companies refuse to increase pay, that is the WHOLE conversation to be had here. Companies watch profits hit record highs but pay back non of it to employees out of hatred for the less privileged.
You've never run a business in your life.
@user-ff8rs7gk6r I have actually, one in fashion and one in finance some time after. Especially in finance we work together and enjoy together. Not one person eating while others watch. Everyone got a share of the pie.
I love a good training session, it is always good to be part of a train.
This summer, my all remote team is going to get together here in Texas and as we're going to have a company outing at the gun range and then go have some brisket.
But they could have used all that money to give each individual a cash bonus.
Enjoy your time soak!
Hope that boot tastes good, I mean brisket
Every time I get attached to a job, they leave me out to dry.
HR is like a cancer...... < insert analogy here >
2:10 I would quit on the spot if they told me to do an Easter Egg Hunt. 4-years in Military to get GI Bill. 5-years in college to get a good paying job so I can collect Easter Eggs. 😂😅
I would confidently have to go to the restroom and oh so sadly I missed it! That was the stupidest thing I’ve seen….i can but my own candy or Starbucks or whatever ridiculousness that was in those eggs.
About 3 months out of the Marine Corps, the job I worked at had an employee appreciation day. There was a lunch and a water balloon contest, the entire event lasted 2 hours. After everything, the boss got on everyone's ass about making up for lost time, and we stayed 2 hours late to make sure everything got done for night. Definitely walk out if they ask you to do that stupid stuff
It's fascinating just how many parallels there are between a corporation and a cult.
You should always be detached from the outcome. Just like making a big ticket purchase, if you get too emotionally involved, you could easily end up with a worse deal than if you are able to step back and look at impartially. The author behind that is a buffoon.
I thought you were shifting to Geopolitics now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
