For many of us, LinkedIn can feel like an alien environment. The buzzwords and indecipherable acronyms, the sort of opinions that might make you do a double-take. However, if these posts make you feel out of place, it might be comforting to know you aren’t alone.
The “LinkedIn Memes For Go Getter Teens” Facebook page focuses on workplace memes that many of us might find painfully relatable. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the most egregious examples, and be sure to write your own thoughts and experiences in the comments section below.

For many of us, LinkedIn is and will probably remain the place you go when you need a new job. A casual scroll through the feed there is often enough of an indicator that this place is sort of like a foreign land, with its own norms, language, and inside jokes.
Indeed, LinkedIn users do sometimes seem to be some of the most positive folks out there. Every moment of personal growth or job movement is followed by an Oscar-winner-worthy speech about "this opportunity," followed by a host of people being thanked.

#6 Some People Like To Work More. Some People Like To Work Less

One effect of this insularity, which is pretty visible in the posts here is that so many people appear to be hopelessly out of touch. After all, if you were to moan about employee demands on your Facebook wall, at least a handful of your friends would jump into the comments to mock you. As hard as that might be to accept, it's perhaps for the best.

It doesn’t help that often enough, corporate language, with all its flowery positivity, is used to cover up the unfortunate fact that many things often get worse. Even worse, this tends to be presented as an upgrade, where some new, cost-saving technology is supposed to transfer its benefits to us and not the company.

After all, the alternative is the "grindset" purported sincerely in some of the posts here. Without rational voices to keep them in check, some folks in their LinkedIn bubble have started to act like free time is a contagious disease. They have entered the war on the work-life balance on the side of work.

This is why groups like "LinkedIn Memes For Go Getter Teens” are important. Boasting 77.3 thousand members, it's proof that there are folks out there who see LinkedIn lingo as bizarre and quite mockable. After all, it's not just funny internet content, there are decision-makers out there who take these ideas to heart, to the detriment of all of us.

The other, perhaps slightly lesser, issue is that the “grindset” is ultimately unhealthy for the vast majority of the population. While it might assist with some productivity in the short term, ultimately it will lead to burnout. Depleting your mental and physical resources, only to be useless for multiple weeks afterward is not actually useful for anyone.

After all, you are effectively trading a few weeks or months of productivity at best, to then spend just as much time recovering. Even if someone is quite career-minded, it’s important to note that then spending just as much time barely scraping by is going to be detrimental. Even worse, extreme cases of burnout often require and extended vacation.
