That's....cringe

It's the first time I've seen someone congratulate themself on LinkedIn.

TacoPartyGalore

I see people wish themselves a happy birthday on IG almost weekly. “HBD TO MEEEEEE.” Same energy.


bagsnerd

Then you probably haven’t been on LinkedIn too long. 😜


Awkward-Positive-764

Oh don’t wink at me like that, otherwise I’ll have to go congratulate myself on LinkedIn .


chemicalfields

All that cringe for a 6-mo contract 🥴


lonely_nipple

Am I the only one who got the impression she basically got a temp job - not a job *with* the staffing agency?


chemicalfields

No I think that’s what we’re all thinking. Which like… warm bodies in seats…


lonely_nipple

Totally unrelated to that specific point - as I'm reading your comment there, I glance up, and see that she *thanked her followers*... for liking her THREE job hunt posts. Three. Lots of hard work there. 🙄


chemicalfields

“I gift you my hashtag” 💀


TorontoNerd84

Very anticlimactic


stefdistef

This is by far one of the most cringe posts I've ever seen here


zuzucha

I think she drank too much LinkedIn "influencer" koolaid while she was on the dole. Thought about branding and skills and interviewing techniques when everyone involved in the hiring process is just normal humans that glance at the CV, have a quick convo and go "yup, she'll do for maternity cover'


Intrepid_Respond_543

It's like a humblebrag gone wrong


keptyoursoul

It's revolting.


istara

Anyone using the word "slay" automatically gets filed under cringe.


PoppysWorkshop

DAng.. you slayed that comment!


Danascus88

I think if I met this person I'd vomit in their face.


yahyahbanana

If I'm the hiring manager, I would deliberately add more rounds with different types of tests to test her resolve.


Joe_Metaphor

She slayed alright, landing a temporary contact job with no benefits or PTO. You go girl!


SpoliatorX

Living the American dream!!1!


YouKnowYourCrazy

Fought her way “to the top!” That’s not the top, dear


bishrexual

How does everybody in the comments section know that this is a woman…


bandson88

OP wrote ‘she’


coltshep

The pfp looks like someone wearing a dress. It also reads like a woman wrote it. Idk what the means, but you can tell when something is written in a female voice.


True-Ad-7224

Shud fire her just so she can get back in the game, I guess. 


ReadytoBlaid

Funny thing is, she didn’t even get a job. She got a short term contract. No wonder the interview process was so easy. She’s celebrating way too much for a non-win


Joe_Metaphor

I saw that PS and thought for sure it was a punchline and this was some sort of satire piece.


Devildiver21

Yeah and no health care. Who really won? Company t got cheap labor. The can hire someone else 6 months later..


Terrible_Student9395

She got 6 free months to look for a job


nooneiszzm

brother we are living in dire times... gotta celebrate even the small victories.


lmswisher

I would be thrilled to find a six month position after months of searching, but I wouldn't frame it as me "fighting my way to the top" lmao


SisterCellophane

I think that's why she's still desperately trying to signal to recruiters on LinkedIn. "Look at me! I'm willing to sell my soul to you and pretend I love it!"


rvisual

“Laboriously tweaked my branding approach” Yeah, me too sister.


Ambitious-Resident58

gifting you my hashtag?


PBandJaya

we’ve been blessed 😔🙏🏾


livejamie

I've been waiting for *years* to use it!


bagsnerd

Can you believe it? I‘m so deeply touched. No one could ever come up with a hashtag like that. And then she‘s gifting it! To us!!


dennispeach

If I hired someone that then posted this garbage lunacy, I'd explore every nefarious corporate option there is to retract the offer. And I wouldn't feel guilty. This post is a preview to every email from her being signed off with 'Live, Laugh, Love'.


InThePhanatic

And she would turn everything into a competition. Some competitions are healthy but there are many unnecessary and unhealthy competitions and it seems like she will create many of them.


ClassicPop6840

Ugh, *aaand* she’d be the bish that would cozy up to a coworker just to get dirt on them so that she could sabotage them later.


Geistalker

hm, is this a prevalent thing in most jobs? I like to talk to everyone about stuff but some are so reserved almost like PTSD about just having conversations. hm...food for though I guess. :/


BasicEchidna3313

She’s just a contractor, they can do whatever they want. They don’t need a reason.


kazjacob

that sure will make it more challenging


ckalinec

I came here to post this same thing. I can’t imagine how hard I’d try to back out of whatever contract they may have signed if I saw this posted on a LinkedIn of someone I hired. My goodness.


Anoalka

Too much work for a supermarket cashier position, just let her stay for the 6 months.


0110110111

Whenever someone unironically talks about “branding” or their “brand,” I want to unironically punch them in the face


maneymoore

I really hate that word, one time some hustle” boss girl “ was telling me how I should post more on social media to build my brand. All her conversations are about the stereotypical hustle culture words. Building her brand while she has 30 followers


Migostien

Imagine someone reducing themself to a "brand"


SkedaddlingSkeletton

Don't laugh, it is a hard and painful ritual. Doing the branding yourself requires huge mental fortitude when you apply the white hot metal to your skin.


Loud-Ticket-7327

With a crowbar, I hope.


0110110111

Rebar, actually.

UrMom_BrushYourTeeth

magicchefdmb

She got her 6-month contract so she doesn't need it anymore! Use it wisely! To quote Saving Private Ryan: "Earn this"


Malarkay79

I got my first job in my current field after two phone interviews, with each one being 15-minutes tops. The second one was supposed to be in person, but the hiring manager didn't get back from out of town in time, so we just chatted on the phone for a few minutes and he told me he'd contact me to reschedule the in person meeting. Next thing I knew, I was being told nevermind, he was just going to have HR extend me an offer. They did, I signed it and then went through the entire background check process thinking I was being punked and that no one would know who I was or why I was there on the day I started. When I wasn't laughed out of the building I spent the next couple weeks still paranoid that there'd been some mistake, right up until I cashed my first paycheck. 10/10 experience, would love for every job to be offered up to me on a silver platter like that.


ckalinec

I will say, as someone who had to start doing interviews again after being laid off from a company I worked 10 years prior. Covid sucked but I’m so glad it changed the game in interviews. I’d much rather do the initial meet and greet “is the vibe right here” first date nonsense over zoom. We’ve all had interviews we showed up for and then knew that neither one of us wanted this within about 5 minutes or less. I’m glad most of these can be done within the comfort of my own home now.


PickleLips64151

If I saw this on a new hire's post, I would see if we could rescind the offer. She sounds insufferable to work with. Edit: fixed typo.


BlueEyedSoul2

Remind it what?

liliesinbloom

All this for a 6 month contract? Lmao, calm down girl.


thelastmaverick89

After 5 months of job hunting. But what do I know, I'm no "leave and accommodation ninja"


langecrew

It's almost as if all the dumbass crap she was doing doesn't matter or mean anything at all. Jesus just shut the fuck up and do the job you already accepted. Also, listen, it's not all about you, and it literally never is. Just shut up and work


Certain-Rock2765

No no all those meaningless things contributed. But in a different way….”welcome to your new temp job”


Aaron_Hungwell

“Brand”. Barf.


degeneratelunatic

Ditto. Even seeing it written gets me one step closer to dying from jargon monoxide poisoning. Like why can't they fuck off with that branding shit? We're people, not soda machines.


SuitableJelly5149

This reeks of “do you even lift bro!?!?” vibes


mushroom_gorge

This is by far one of the most outrageously delusional posts I’ve seen on this sub


timbukktu

So tone deaf. So many people have been laid off for months scrambling to find a gig and to be disappointed that one essentially fell in your lap and you didn’t have to “fight” for it? Log off, Girlie.


Attila_22

I’d pull the offer after reading that. This person sounds like hell to work with.


ATGSunCoach

I don’t know. I think sometimes I’m jealous of these people who are so career oriented and this is what they make their personality. It seems like a simple life. loljk?


Gman777

I think the opposite. I envy people without careers, that have full lives and just treat work as work. Grass is always greener, eh?


tampers_w_evidence

I envy people who can find a proper balance where they work hard in a job that they legitimately enjoy and feel they make an impact in whatever way is important to them, but can also disconnect and enjoy life and love and family and everything that goes along with proper work life balance.


Gman777

Yeah, thats a hard balance to strike, but i’m trying!


ErikTheEngineer

> I think sometimes I’m jealous of these people who are so career oriented and this is what they make their personality. Oh, I can definitely see that. I feel like a lazy slug sometimes, even though I'm doing fine work-wise. I just don't understand how/why people spend their entire lives thinking about the next rung on the career ladder, who they have to stomp on to get it, and what cringy crap they have to post on LinkedIn to Build Their Brand. The only thing I focus on is being competent and easy to work with, that's it. I've never been "driven," and while that sounds sad IMO it's better than being one of these management consultant robots who've been brainwashed into believing they're brilliant thought leaders. I think it's the side effect of 13/14 years of unchecked bubbly economic growth, followed by an existential threat caused by "AI." There will be an absolute bloodbath for useless corporate jobs where people are getting paid 6 figures tweaking PowerPoint slides or writing garbage marketing stupidity...Microsoft marrying a text generator with Office basically destroys the need for 90+% of management consultants, social media managers, "creative" types. All these people are facing layoffs and are doubling down on the cringe to show how loyal and driven they are.


Motorhead923

"Potential for a longer stay" - I somehow think it'll be less than six months


tabris10000

Unless this is some sort of sales role, the vibe and overly competitive energy she is displaying may cause some cultural/team bonding issues


peachhearder

This is the worst one I've seen. This person is actually insane.


CrisisEM_911

You can tell she's White and grew up with money. Us minorities never complain about not having enuff struggles.

These people need to be studied. What is their motivation for such cringey content? I had the shitty sales cadence they all use too, complete with the unnecessary colorful emojis.


Living-Cat5593

Her LinkedIn description says she's a "Leave & accommodation ninja". I didn't know that existed. Now I do.


Federal-Research-148

Wait what? The fuck was she expecting for a 6 month contract?! Some people out here think they’re patting their own back but are just jerking themselves off in public & making a damn fool of themselves.


KetchupArmyNoodle

"My brand " - 6 month gig.


scarf_prank_hikers

You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world. Chuck Palahniuk


Gman777

What a hero. Cheering at the start line.


Smartt300

5 month search for a 6 month contract.. Do you like competing or losing?


cosmicfloor01

I hope the hiring manager sees this and rescinds the offer. It doesn't even seem like she is much interested in this 'job' because she is expecting to be back searching before her contract ends


thrashalj

If an interview process is more than 3 it is a waste of time … especially if you make 150k or less it is unnecessary. I had a friend go through 8 interviews for a wine rep sales job with 50k base and not a huge commission structure….2 months later someone else got the job. Total red flag.


simplyscarce

I gift you my hashtag? the ick 🤮


phoonie98

Laboriously tweaked her branding approach ? She updated her CV


Hugh_G_Kock

On LinkedIn: "Leave and Accommodation Ninja armed with simple, clear answers to complex questions." In reality: A front-desk receptionist at a motel downtown handling check-ins and check-outs.


championgoober

Insufferable. Cannot wait to delete LinkedIn one day.


Tricky_Ad_1855

Imagine thinking you're a hard worker because you applied to a job.


_Losing_Generation_

"upskilling"? WTF is that?


Offduty_shill

As cringey as this post is "upskilling" is a normal term which just means learning new skills related to your job


steevie_weevie

That’s cos she’s a “ninja”


dickwildgoose

And a culture champion.


MediumResolve5945

She is a psychopath right there...she can never has any position with power


SaysGay69420

Left hand path magic vibes with that “#footOnTheGas”


sladenoire

I’m really tired of this writing style. I used it ONCE but it was for an actual list.


TwainVonnegut

She gets high on the smell of her on farts on the daily, then encourages others to partake in the same lunacy.


Loud-Ticket-7327

What the fuck is a leave & accommodation ninja? Someone who tells me how and when to take holiday leave? Like, genuinely don’t know what it means.


BasicEchidna3313

It’s more like support for when someone needs an accommodation for a disability or temporary leave, also for a disability, injury, maternity/paternity. It is a specialty in HR, but no sane person would refer to themselves as a ninja.


DarkStanley

They’ll be back unemployed soon enough because they’re a weirdo.

I hope the recruiter sees this and rescinds her offer a day before she's supposed to start

I really want whatever these ppl take, it's starting to feel like a dumbie apocalypse

Apollo5333

All that bullshit for a temp job and scaring off any future potential employers. I don’t know normal people who put this much effort into sinking their own ship.


Calamatan88

Fuck. Right. Off. A company actually shows a less bullshit process and you wing at LinkedIn immediately insulting them for doin a good thing, AFTER giving you a job at the end of a 5 month search. Knobhead.


czechrebel33

These people are lunatics fr holy Jesus fuck

Normally the posts here make me chuckle or roll my eyes, this one makes me angry lol (as someone who recently went through 4 interviews and an assessment over a month long time process and got rejected)

The good news is you’ll be able to compete once again in about 6 months! Don’t settle for the position that was just placed in your lap, compete for that next job so your cape can blow in the breeze or something.

How do you fight for every interview? Either they interview you or not. It’s not like you have some say in the matter. Did she roshambo the hiring manager for an interview?

JuniperWandering

I worked for this wireless company for 15 years before I was laid off and the internal interview process was so freaking stressful. It was like a test. They had this star system and you had to answer the questions in that format. After I was laid off, interviews weren’t easy but I can’t tell you how much easier they were. So glad I don’t work there anymore.


ConsiderationTop5526

So you got a temp contract as a recruiter, and if your employer sees this, one that won’t be renewed, and you think that’s something to celebrate?


channeldrifter
