I'm an introvert and got looked down on at my last job because I wouldn't join in any of the team's extracurricular activities like bowling or go-cart racing. They termed it "team-building" or some shit. They said I wasn't a team player. It angered me because I was very much a team player ... when it came to WORK and helping my team AT WORK. I don't need a home away from home family. I have a family that I want to get back home to and enjoy my time away from the people I work with. I don't have to get to know my co-workers outside of work to be a good team player at work.
You probably don't even need to fit into that trumped up category of person, that they call "team player". You are who you are, and if you function well in teams why do they have to pin a label on you. I often think that the term 'team player' is just one of those ways of weeding out people who might be skeptical about dubious or intrusive company social policy. If you're there to just work and don't want to be manipulated into activity unrelated to work, you can be seen as the black sheep, and every social network needs its black sheep of course.
I'm 50/50 extrovert and introvert. Love socializing with work people, but also need my alone time to dig deep & concentrate. I hate those team sports activities. Not everyone likes that stuff, and some of us have physical issues that we don't want to air (and don't need accommodations for work) but make certain activities actually painful. And I agree...if it's something I'm required to be at for my job (even if it's "team-building") outside 9-5, I should be paid for it above and beyond my salary for working 9-5.
It's because everyone is forced to socialize and play politics. Doing so requires setting aside your pride. Those who refuse to do so are seen as too proud and probably thinks he's better than everyone.
Im the same way, did enough of that crap in high school. When they ask me to go I usually say "what are you guys 15? They hate me but need me so we keep each other at arms length.
@@djpunisha29 makes sense if you think it as a big cult of extroverted bias. cults tend to get very homogenic over time, since they have harder and harder to trust people who think differently(cult content somehow goes narrower with time, due to only one person feeding it from top and this content holds people to even narrower mold).
@@shrimpgazing yes. and this outsourcing megatrend is perfect for extroverted organization. any "introverted" work is done somewhere else. What is left, is communication with those offshore teams (which is extroverted strength), also deducing any demanding details from work, making (communication) work easier.
That's because the corporate world is run by HR which have increased their mandate way beyond limiting liability to the company. Instead they've positioned themselves as being the company coaches and started meddling with everything and everyone.
yeah this new trend is creepy. they want you to think they are your family. then as someone pointed out, you need to be cautious at all times, since your "best friend" can become your boss and intricate secrets turn against you.
Sorry everyone. We've decided to disown you all as our company family and have adopted a bunch of pacific islanders to take your place. They dont spend as much money as you all. Thats the only reason we've decide to disown you. We have also filed restraining orders against you. This is no longer your home. Please get out and dont come back.
Taking gamification a bit to far....We are using Asana and sometimes when you finish a task you get a unicorn in screen to encourage you.... the first thing I did was turning that shit off. I love ticking off task, but do not need a unicorn to tell me I did.
My manager sets up a casual connect everyday and wants everyone to join the meeting with their video on. His argument is this is a casual chit chat zoom session where you can take some rest of your schedule and rejuvenate. Who on earth rejuvenates by talking to his/her manager and toxic work colleagues? My idea of taking a break is listening to music and taking a walk being away from screen. Don't know why this is so difficult to understand by these extrovert managers.
A good morale booster would be to fire the useless people who spend all day coming up with forced activities and give their salary to the real workers as bonuses
This Corporate cringe format is BRILLIANT. Love it. I was forced to do the macarena during one of our "training sessions". We also had to act out a mini theatre style play we wrote ourselves to show what we thought our company was all about / represented. It was humiliating and uncomfortable. You just have to dissociate from your body at that point. Served no purpose apart from inflating the egos of our bosses. You are never your colleagues' "family". Your relationship with your boss and colleagues will always be transactional. Why do they insist on making everyone miserable, especially introverts, under the pretense of "fun"? Do any extroverts feel the same?
I've said this before, but you're killing me here man, reducing my options. I was in the corporate world for about 17 years, working in different non-corporate jobs before that from the time I left school. I'm back in college at the moment and, watching your videos, I'm getting uneasy about the idea of returning to any company; I don't think I can EVER go back into the corporate world; especially companies that want their employees to feel like the company is their 'extended family'. I mean, I can only take so much of my 'own' extended family, we definitely keep out of each others' hair; why the hell would I want a corporate company to be an additional extended family? A few friendships have developed over the years with work colleagues, but that has been very 'few' and far between, and never the result of pushing for the relationship.
Idk about you, but I'd rather not have a picture or video taken of me during an interview, have it posted to the company's LinkedIn and other social media, and then NOT get the job.
Never heard about group interviews before... it’s like corporate culture is meant for airhead extroverts that love confrontation. Leave that crap far far away from tech, plz
Group interviews are common in low paying jobs since they get so many curriculums that they want to save time,its usually with like 9 other people and everyone gets 5 minutes to talk,its so stupid,also if you are the first to talk other people just say what you just say in a more elocuent manner(this happened to me many times since im usually the first to talk when they ask who wants to start).
Had one for an internship (I didn't get it). Felt super underqualified because I was comparing myself to the other people who got questions right. I had just gotten out of algorithms and they were asking programming languages specific questions (400 level class at my uni whose pre req is algorithms) like: is c++ pass-by-value or reference?
@@amywright4329 The way a company interviews is very telltale of what they're like or how they operate. Red flags present themselves as early as the interviews.
LOL your Corporate Cringe gets better each time :). Culture can not be forced, my way to having a good culture, is to let everyone work fully remote and fully flexible time - if it gets abused, that person is gone, simples :)
Sick of literally being forced to go to multiple X-mas parties every year. I work with these people 40 hours a day and no, I don't dance and hate eating buffet style dinners at 8 PM with my "second family."
Thank you!! I also really can't stand the fact that we're expected to pretend that we care more about a corporation than we actually do. As you said, we just want a paycheque! Yes, I will put in my best effort to produce good work for you, but don't expect me to prioritize _your_ profits over _my_ health, _my_ hobbies, _my_ family, _my_ friends!
I saw your comment on LinkedIn (that energy clip) before watching this vid hahahahaha! So funny!!! 🤣 Tbh, I think many posts on LinkedIn are very fake... so it’s awesome that you called them out 👍
When I saw crap like this as an intern or in tech companies in general, I always cringed and felt out of place. Glad I'm not the only one. Let me just do my work and leave me the tf alone. lol
it is scary if freshman class is bigger than whole staff. happens in phone marketing etc. Good companies have roughly 3% turnover yearly. They have done research to study this optimal level.
Tbh, I experienced this personally in one company few years ago. I was a (forced) "participant" in one of their so called "team building activities" bs and after going thru several activities for several days with my rapidly growing impatience to put up with all that nonsense, I snapped. Got fired gladly for being so "uncooperative" and was branded "too much attitude".. I was finally free
Josh, you're a hero man. I love this lighter side of you bro. You don't know how much I wanted to say some of these things when I quit my last job. I worked for a big 4 company, the name starts with D. They claim that they have an "inclusive culture" and invite people to "be genuine, honest and report when something wrong happens". I did report something and they started bullying me for that.
Once when asked at an interview with 2 people if I had any questions I asked "Yes thank you. You stated in your recruitment promotion that you are 'Loyal' to your employees. Can you explain that please?" Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they were dumbfounded for about 20 seconds then babbled some nonsensicle schpeil. I REALLY had to grind my jaws SOO hard to stop myself from laughing, especially after THAT they asked "do you have anymore questions?". I said "no thank you I have all I need thank you", smiled, walked out and cracked up laughing outside the building. Didn't care I was starred at I needed to vent.
I love how people in corporate speak to you like you're a child "Hi, my name is scott, and today we're going to learn about the importance of listening" *vomit*....I know I say this to you all the time on your videos...But finding a trade was the best decision i've ever done in my life. A bunch of dudes that all want to make money. No one tolerates this kinda of crazy bs in the field. I actually love the fact that so many people are terrified of working manual labor because it makes our positions more rare. I've been in the field for 6 years and I do very little physical labor anymore. I manage people now and LOVE it. GREAT money, and the work is actually very fun.
"What is this Soap?" hehe. Yeah and some Deodorant, and breath-mints - no one wants to share office with Stinky :D What about a can of Mace? - coz you're gonna be leaving that office pretty late some nights...
Please make more videos on Corporate Culture of India , They think that we are their slaves , more than 9 hours of work almost every day , calling us at odd hours and working on Sat and Sun , unpaid work .
This is hands down my new favorite channel. I really though I was the only one that recognized and despised the never ending flood of corporate weasel posts on LinkedIn. They are uniformly transparent. The titles, though.... the titles.
My co workers (even my fellow millennials) all make me feel like an outcast because I always pass on the after hours hang outs, or yearly holiday parties, without giving it a second thought. I'll choose hanging out with my actual family 10/10 times. I mean for fucks sake, one of the upper management literally calls us "company property" during work hours. And the company owner is "OUR owner". Yeah, I would like to limit my exposure to this sort of mentality.
I don't go to company events unless they pay me, don't work for them to be happy with me or to be nice, I work for money why the fuck I would be bulding someone else's dream if it wasn't for money wtf.
You are very cheeky. "if you didn't like the vid, double click the thumbs down", the first click will dislike the vid and the second one will remove the dislike.
I declined to go to a department luncheon. I was the only employe that stayed behind and worked and enjoyed being by myself. My boss asked me later why I chose not to go and told her that I have issues with the team that I don't want to discuss and I prefer being by myself. All you have to do is show me who you are one time and that's it. I don't have deal with you once you show me who you are. My energy and peace of mind are more important to me than a luncheon.
Louder for the people in the back Josh! I'm so sick of company culture that is a waste of time and utter bullshit. You're right. We're there for the paycheck nothing else then life's a bitch and we die. The. End.
2:56: That Snickers is really what sells it. We value you as an employee so fucking little, that we won't even bother you with a FULL SIZED FUCKING SNICKERS. Because that would just be extraneous waste of money. All this other stuff is just their PR junk about to hit their expiration date, because they ordered a million cups and only managed to push three on people at the previous expo they booked a table at.
joshua. You are truly a legend. I have experienced enough of this bullshit that sometimes i too want to write these kind of comments but then reality seeps in and then I know I have to fake my image on Linkedin. I was a appointed as Digital Marketing Manager in one such company and clearly HR didn't know what my job boundaries are. One day she came to me and said. Prateeeek we are going to shoot videos can you please help me in making our employees boomerang videos so that we can upload it on our instagram and I am like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. I left the company in 3 months and removed that company from my resume.That was my biggest mistake in life to join the company at lower salary just by looking work culture. NEVER SWITCH JOB without average 30% hike NEVER NEVER NEVER. and don't fall into the trap of the companies who would increase package after 6 months (you might be their lab rat for the position)
I think company culture does flow from the top down and permeate your business. So if you're greedy and cheesy, your entire business will be greedy and cheesy
I think it's almost a form of abuse to insist that your employees get emotionally involved in seeing you get rich. All I would ask as a business owner (if I was one) is do the job I'm paying you to do, and do is reasonably well so as not to lose me clients. That's it. I even think that unless you are paying very high salary, you can't expect people to work themselves hard. E.g. Don't expect someone to do 12 hrs work in 8hrs - again that's abuse
@baby turtle uh what world are you living in? There are still a ton of rights that havent been won yet. Conversion therapy is STILL LEGAL on a federal level despite there being numerous studies that say it does more harm then good
What i have learned from corporate america is that ya better make as much as ya can, as fast as ya can for as long as ya can. . . and save as much as you can so you can sqtop doing all of this as soon as you can. Or... Have a better way to make money. I'd go with the better way, if possible. But the first way is okay, I guess, if ya can't think of a better way.
Why I insist to be hourly. I get out of these events by just saying hey am I getting paid to show up? No? Well since I'm not salary I cant be forced to show up.
I have made it clear to my boss that I really do not mind if we have a good solid meeting that it takes longer and I spend some of my own time having it. But I ain't going to plan a meeting outside of work hours because the sales department would be otherwise too busy. If it ain't worth it to do the meeting in "his" time, then ain't worth it to do it in mine.
Company Story: They made us do a 1 week summer camp at Camp Crystal Lake remote first employee event. Mandatory. We were separated into "camp groups", had 2 hour scheduled events daily, on camera mandatory. Campfire horror stories, pictionary (never understodd that one), games, prizes, and a "who am I and what i want to do at fake camp" speech. I was 40 years old and just wanted to work. The week after, I had about 2 deadlines on 2 projects, crunched to make up the time. Fuck Camp.
Felt I had to share a group interview expwrience when you shared it. I was once in a group interview foe an IT consulting firm, they actually had a 'spy' in the group. He asked what we thought about tge company and the interviewer before outing himself. Also tge group interview went on for 2 WHOLE days.
I never found any benefit with Linkedin, all I got was spam and shady pseudo entrepreneurs contacting me. I'm so glad I'm out of the corporate rat race. The last job I had was at a world wide corporate company and there were always these team meetings and group dynamics that were annoying as hell. And of course, if you don't want to go with the flow you're the "bad guy". Never again. I may not have a steady income but I'm immensly happier.
How have I only just stumbled upon this gem!!! This is the reason I contracted for 2 years solid and then piled my earnings into rental properties....I can still hear bullshit but it will fade with each beautiful lie in.
Lmaooo 3:29 🤣 me during most “core values” meetings. 😂 6:00 BAMBOOLIGANS I’m crying. Please call your fan base that from now on. Edit: Josh. Love your content and this series but: please just make sure this doesn’t turn into bullying or hating on people who are just tryna do their job. The problem lies I think with the culture as a whole not as much individuals using buzzwords like rockstar etc....I think some of them are just playing the game themselves.
We have core values....pretty sure if I had to make a choice between following the core values or the €10.000 order my boss would really appreciate it if I went for the order.

You probably don't even need to fit into that trumped up category of person, that they call "team player". You are who you are, and if you function well in teams why do they have to pin a label on you. I often think that the term 'team player' is just one of those ways of weeding out people who might be skeptical about dubious or intrusive company social policy. If you're there to just work and don't want to be manipulated into activity unrelated to work, you can be seen as the black sheep, and every social network needs its black sheep of course.

I actually love the fact that so many people are terrified of working manual labor because it makes our positions more rare. I've been in the field for 6 years and I do very little physical labor anymore. I manage people now and LOVE it. GREAT money, and the work is actually very fun.
6:02 "WHYYY???" hahahahahahaha LMFAO
“Something ballsack”. I was laughing so hard.
These badges are revolutionary
Is it a coincidence that the term 'onboarding' sounds so much like 'waterboarding'
"What is this Soap?" hehe. Yeah and some Deodorant, and breath-mints - no one wants to share office with Stinky :D
What about a can of Mace? - coz you're gonna be leaving that office pretty late some nights...
Please make more videos on Corporate Culture of India , They think that we are their slaves , more than 9 hours of work almost every day , calling us at odd hours and working on Sat and Sun , unpaid work .
This is hands down my new favorite channel.
I really though I was the only one that recognized and despised the never ending flood of corporate weasel posts on LinkedIn. They are uniformly transparent. The titles, though.... the titles.
Your anti-grind work is truly activism
My God, HR has bloated beyond belief...
‘Company Culture’ is bizarro. Bosses are afraid of employees that aren’t dedicated mind body and spirit to the tasks they’re assigned
My co workers (even my fellow millennials) all make me feel like an outcast because I always pass on the after hours hang outs, or yearly holiday parties, without giving it a second thought. I'll choose hanging out with my actual family 10/10 times.
I mean for fucks sake, one of the upper management literally calls us "company property" during work hours. And the company owner is "OUR owner". Yeah, I would like to limit my exposure to this sort of mentality.
I don't go to company events unless they pay me, don't work for them to be happy with me or to be nice, I work for money why the fuck I would be bulding someone else's dream if it wasn't for money wtf.
I hate LinkedIn and deleted it years ago. But now I'm remaking it, and this time I will be a freelance CEO.
Ugh. Some companies just try WAY too hard.
You are very cheeky. "if you didn't like the vid, double click the thumbs down", the first click will dislike the vid and the second one will remove the dislike.
...lol
My thoughts exactly. Plus the interactivity for the algorithm.
WIN WIN!
My first real job was for Wal Mart. That brought back some flashbacks of stuff I rather forget. lol
I declined to go to a department luncheon. I was the only employe that stayed behind and worked and enjoyed being by myself. My boss asked me later why I chose not to go and told her that I have issues with the team that I don't want to discuss and I prefer being by myself. All you have to do is show me who you are one time and that's it. I don't have deal with you once you show me who you are. My energy and peace of mind are more important to me than a luncheon.
Just deleted my account today! Had enough of this corporate CS!!
Louder for the people in the back Josh! I'm so sick of company culture that is a waste of time and utter bullshit. You're right. We're there for the paycheck nothing else then life's a bitch and we die. The. End.
You changed the way I look at the company I work for bro, you're right they treat us like children. love your video's man, keep up the good work
2:56: That Snickers is really what sells it. We value you as an employee so fucking little, that we won't even bother you with a FULL SIZED FUCKING SNICKERS. Because that would just be extraneous waste of money. All this other stuff is just their PR junk about to hit their expiration date, because they ordered a million cups and only managed to push three on people at the previous expo they booked a table at.
Dude, you're on a whole new level now, this is gold! As someone who worked for one of these companies, I can fully relate
And the Snickers Bar is BITE SIZED!
They do all this crap and lay you off during pandemic like you are nothing
@Viganch0 yeh, these companies ain't sitting around to make our lives better, all they care is $$$$!!!
I only got my cheap pen... that didn’t work... after my first year LOL
I just want to do my work and go home. I don't care about company lunches, coffee, snacks, culture etc..
joshua. You are truly a legend. I have experienced enough of this bullshit that sometimes i too want to write these kind of comments but then reality seeps in and then I know I have to fake my image on Linkedin.
I was a appointed as Digital Marketing Manager in one such company and clearly HR didn't know what my job boundaries are.
One day she came to me and said. Prateeeek we are going to shoot videos can you please help me in making our employees boomerang videos so that we can upload it on our instagram
and I am like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. I left the company in 3 months and removed that company from my resume.That was my biggest mistake in life to join the company at lower salary just by looking work culture.
NEVER SWITCH JOB without average 30% hike NEVER NEVER NEVER. and don't fall into the trap of the companies who would increase package after 6 months (you might be their lab rat for the position)
I think company culture does flow from the top down and permeate your business. So if you're greedy and cheesy, your entire business will be greedy and cheesy
I think it's almost a form of abuse to insist that your employees get emotionally involved in seeing you get rich.
All I would ask as a business owner (if I was one) is do the job I'm paying you to do, and do is reasonably well so as not to lose me clients. That's it.
I even think that unless you are paying very high salary, you can't expect people to work themselves hard. E.g. Don't expect someone to do 12 hrs work in 8hrs - again that's abuse
Imagine having to be the admin of your employer's LinkedIn page...yeah that's my hell...
Need more of these Josuha bro
Legit curious if any of them take the time to respond to you, looking forward to next one i guess :)) love from Romania!
They have
@baby turtle that is very rude
@baby turtle maybe because they want to be lgbt friendly because, right now in the US, you can be legally fired for just being lgbt
@@xenonsan3110 huh?
@baby turtle uh what world are you living in? There are still a ton of rights that havent been won yet. Conversion therapy is STILL LEGAL on a federal level despite there being numerous studies that say it does more harm then good
What i have learned from corporate america is that ya better make as much as ya can, as fast as ya can for as long as ya can. . . and save as much as you can so you can sqtop doing all of this as soon as you can. Or...
Have a better way to make money.
I'd go with the better way, if possible.
But the first way is okay, I guess, if ya can't think of a better way.
I’m not trying to abandon the company family, but when can I go home?
Take a shot every time an interviewer mentions “culture” and “family”
Why I insist to be hourly. I get out of these events by just saying hey am I getting paid to show up? No? Well since I'm not salary I cant be forced to show up.
I have made it clear to my boss that I really do not mind if we have a good solid meeting that it takes longer and I spend some of my own time having it. But I ain't going to plan a meeting outside of work hours because the sales department would be otherwise too busy. If it ain't worth it to do the meeting in "his" time, then ain't worth it to do it in mine.
Josh you should make videos about your reaction to firms that won “best company to work for” accolades!
Ooooo
@@JoshuaFluke1 This means you're splitting the ad revenue with me right?

That energy exercise, I've done it before in a shiatsu class, it's the most spiritual experience I've ever had, still not quite sure what I felt.
Anytime my job would have mandatory morning meetings (off the clock of course.)
I just never showed up and they never said anything to me.
Company Story: They made us do a 1 week summer camp at Camp Crystal Lake remote first employee event. Mandatory. We were separated into "camp groups", had 2 hour scheduled events daily, on camera mandatory. Campfire horror stories, pictionary (never understodd that one), games, prizes, and a "who am I and what i want to do at fake camp" speech. I was 40 years old and just wanted to work. The week after, I had about 2 deadlines on 2 projects, crunched to make up the time. Fuck Camp.
Felt I had to share a group interview expwrience when you shared it. I was once in a group interview foe an IT consulting firm, they actually had a 'spy' in the group. He asked what we thought about tge company and the interviewer before outing himself. Also tge group interview went on for 2 WHOLE days.
Hi Josh, I'm new to your channel and enjoying so much your Cringe certified stamps on LinkedIn 😂 Super satisfying, thank you!
I never found any benefit with Linkedin, all I got was spam and shady pseudo entrepreneurs contacting me. I'm so glad I'm out of the corporate rat race. The last job I had was at a world wide corporate company and there were always these team meetings and group dynamics that were annoying as hell. And of course, if you don't want to go with the flow you're the "bad guy". Never again. I may not have a steady income but I'm immensly happier.
There is an episode of dragon ball where gohan teaches Videl the same technique.
Yes, they want you to think of them as your family because getting fired from your family would really suck. Lol
Raising Cane’s is the worst when it comes to corporate cringe it’s like a cult working there.
Yup!
Absolutely love these types of videos
How have I only just stumbled upon this gem!!! This is the reason I contracted for 2 years solid and then piled my earnings into rental properties....I can still hear bullshit but it will fade with each beautiful lie in.
>we're just going to be pushed further towards being treated like children
>hr departments are run largely by childless career women
coincidence?
I died when you made that energy ball appear between your hands 😂
I wish there were more people like you. Life would be more enjoyable even at work
Lmaooo 3:29 🤣 me during most “core values” meetings.
😂 6:00 BAMBOOLIGANS I’m crying. Please call your fan base that from now on.
Edit: Josh. Love your content and this series but: please just make sure this doesn’t turn into bullying or hating on people who are just tryna do their job. The problem lies I think with the culture as a whole not as much individuals using buzzwords like rockstar etc....I think some of them are just playing the game themselves.
yeah I agree with this, I could see it going too far. Especially with his fan base
That said, fuck it it needs to be done
Bambooligains trademarked by Joshua fluke, then they will stop using it.
We have core values....pretty sure if I had to make a choice between following the core values or the €10.000 order my boss would really appreciate it if I went for the order.
Lol, that first energy thing is a party trick we all did in primary school. We called it the invisible bubble.
I'm surprised you didn't review the 'Today's News' section... I mean, that headline about 'more women driven towards trucking' sounds riveting.
I'm with you on the group interviews, having experienced one myself. F that noise.
