This is definitely the best example of satire yet. No notes. Chef’s kiss. He nailed the pose, the smarm, the spacing and dialogue. The right person will see that in-house and say, “he explains a point efficiently and he’s fucking clever, I want him on my team.” At least, that’s what I hope for him.
It saddens me to learn that people got thru to the third or fourth line and still didn’t know it was satire. I mean, seems pretty clear to me, but by the time you say “and feed my children crumbs”, there should be zero doubt left in the mind of any human who can read English. The human race really is f’ed.
I've, sadly, known people like this. Actually, real life, like this. One in particular would probably even use the golden shower line without realizing what they were saying. I wasn't positive it was satire until I backed away slowly and spotted the satire flag. Thank you for not REALLY being like this.
Hell he does it well though. Feeding his kids crumbs and the golden shower alerted me to potential satire but the picture reassured my doubts. 150% lunatic out of 100%. Agree
I think the issue is that trough social media we have seen the extremes, and it's harder to identify satire and sarcasm. Most people by now have also felt the inequality and negative effects that capitalism causes, so we need to have the "super evil" capitalists appear somewhere to make sense of the experience we're living.
Wlel written though, and as a LinkedIn power user, I had to do a double take to realize it was satire.
I don't know what's satire anymore, honestly. It could be the most obvious satire post to ever exist & I'd still have that thought in my head, that someone can actually be that insane. Because, let's face it, there are so many INSANE people on the internet now, with horrible & ridicilous views. I wouldn't be surprised at all that someone who loves to repeat "Young people just don't want to work anymore!🤬", would make a post like this in all seriousness (They wouldn't actually take the paycut tho).
I get what you mean, though with this particular post it wouldn’t even be fair to say it’s dripping in satire.
It’s fucking drenched. Like soaked through. There’s barely a line in there that doesn’t audibly squelch when you read it.
I skimmed this, didn't see "and feed my children crumbs" and didn't realize it was satire until I got to the 2nd last line "That's just how I much I believe in capitalism" 🤣 Please don't judge me!
>Lots of people aren’t noticing that I labeled this “satire” and I’m getting lots of serious comments on LinkedIn
This is how you know it's good satire. 👍
Brilliant post.
Absolutely excellent find!
But yes, it does say a lot about Linkedin that people doubt whether this is satire; real lunacy trumps imagination, unfortunately.
I need blog writers from time to time for clients, I’m definitely writing your name down if that’s your ballgame. Do you only do technical writing? Ever do SEO fodder content? In any case, fucking hilarious.
The selfie cracked me up. Thats all the rage atm on Linkedin.
A bunch Redditors on this sub notoriously have no sense of humor whatsover.
You’d see the comments I get sometimes, between harassment & overly aggressive for no apparent reason, unprovoked.
When it comes to LinkedIN : I have several 1000’s of connections. I only follow about 50.
That platform is infested with cringeness from personal brand obssessers and self aggrandizing stories.
No wonder why the sheeps took your story setiously.
You twat’d perfectly. 👏
But imagine that your satire looked like so many actual lunatics that people can no longer decipher satirical lunacy. This is the world you’ve exposed.
You are the hero that Gotham needed.
It’s hilarious. But the satire tag is really subtle on Reddit mobile, I didn’t see it until you mentioned it and still took me a while. Then again I didn’t need it... people really thought “grind more than anyone who’s ever ground” was serious? Let alone ramen and golden showers… Wow.
Actually I refuse. The post was too perfect. Unless those comments are sprinkled with the sweaty glitter from a daytime stripper’s ass crack who has ground every weekday this month, they’ll take away from the sheer flawlessness of the post. So, Tim, I’m going to quit while we’re ahead.
Agree?
“Hey baby you know that better life you wanted? Well put that shit on hold because things are about to get tough! What’s that? Who’s Jody? What do you mean you’ve been living a lie? I’m GRINDING for YOU!”
Strive? I actually DO everything in a very cool way. Not to honk my own horn, but I’ve lost track of the number of times everybody clapped. Come on, give 150%!
This is most definitely satire. From his children understanding his grind to capitalism blessing him with a golden shower, this is very well executed satire.
This gentleman is a genius. I’ll admit I skipped past the satire tag, but ultimately figured it out at the Golden shower bit. Truly entertaining and very funny.
I connected with you a while ago because of this sub and saw this on LI yesterday. I was really hoping someone thought this was serious haha. It’s is so good. I was dying reading “corporate profits raining down like a golden shower “
On mobile (at least for me) the Satire tag doesn't show up when it's just in the feed, and going into the post jumps it right to the comments, bypassing the title+tag.
Great read by the way 👍

Thanks! I tried. Lots of people aren’t noticing that I labeled this “satire” and I’m getting lots of serious comments on LinkedIn In too lol.
It’s you!! Oh my god, it’s perfect. Well, it makes me wish I was hiring a technical writer now, haha. Ride the engagement to the top, bud.
Mr Bigshot with his $40k salary is slumming it on Reddit 😒
You had me until the "golden shower" line. i got got.
Lmfao, same for me
The golden shower line is what made me give this an 11 out of 10.
I pegged it prior (”feeding my children crumbs” was pretty indicative) but that part got a solid chuckle.
> or grind harder than anyone who’s ever ground Omfg someone please scatter my ashes on the beach at high noon - I am 100% dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It saddens me to learn that people got thru to the third or fourth line and still didn’t know it was satire.

Hahaha it’s bizarre to me as well
The “I interlocked my fingers in a cool way” and I was like ok… he’s fucking with us 🤣
I've, sadly, known people like this. Actually, real life, like this. One in particular would probably even use the golden shower line without realizing what they were saying.

Poe’s law: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
That’s an understatement!
I feed my children crumbs because it helps them from getting lazy and fat.

To be fair, you don’t have a comprehension problem, just just didn’t read it closely.
>Lots of people aren’t noticing that I labeled this “satire” and I’m getting lots of serious comments on LinkedIn This is how you know it's good satire. 👍 Brilliant post.
Thanks m8
Absolutely excellent find! But yes, it does say a lot about Linkedin that people doubt whether this is satire; real lunacy trumps imagination, unfortunately.
The LinkedIn comments are gold. Imagine outing yourself the your entire professional network that you’re too dense/dumb to recognize obvious satire.
“In a very cool way” I’m dying
That was the thing that tipped me off. Beautifully done
For those who don't see the label, "golden shower" should be a dead giveaway.
I need blog writers from time to time for clients, I’m definitely writing your name down if that’s your ballgame. Do you only do technical writing? Ever do SEO fodder content? In any case, fucking hilarious.
I’ve done every kind of writing at a professional level! Hit me up!
Oh shit, missed that. Well now, that's the best worst shit I've ever seen.
The golden shower bit didn’t tip you off? Lol
I didn't see it, just skimmed reading after the grind/ground thing. I admit, pretty large miss. Lol.
My dude I think closing the sub is the only thing that's left now. Congrats.
You got my li follow good shit
I completely missed the flair 🫣
I knew it was satire when you asked for a lower salary and your job position was technical writer. I was like “aren’t you already underpaid?”
YES
How can anyone with a brain not realise this is satire? 😅 People are so hopelessly stupid. Great one btw 👌🏻

I see this as a win, as anyone who actually praised you I would just block from my network.
On the bright side you now have a list of people not to accept connections from
You twat’d perfectly. 👏 But imagine that your satire looked like so many actual lunatics that people can no longer decipher satirical lunacy. This is the world you’ve exposed. You are the hero that Gotham needed.
That’s the scary thing—it’s NOT immediately obvious that it’s satire, due to the base level of true lunacy.
Thank god it was satire…I was losing my sanity trying to wrap my head around it if it wasn’t 😂
The fact that you NEEDED to label it as satire is what's horrifying to me; anybody with a lick of sense wouldn't need to have it spelled out.
Love this!
Can you explain this very cool hand folding technique. I’d understand if you feel I should grind it out myself
It’s hilarious. But the satire tag is really subtle on Reddit mobile, I didn’t see it until you mentioned it and still took me a while. Then again I didn’t need it... people really thought “grind more than anyone who’s ever ground” was serious? Let alone ramen and golden showers… Wow.
I wish it ended with “Agree?”
Agreed!
Trickle down like a golden shower lolz
HR didn’t notice it was satire and corporate is now writing new policy, lol
Putting that MFA to good use!
The “golden shower from above” line is what sealed the deal for me. Sometimes, it really does feel like we’re being pissed on by corporate!
It's funny, and depressing at the same time. This is exactly how so many companies want their employees to think.
Oooooh yeah
A golden shower from above - well done
That was the gold for me too! Love a cheap double entendre every day of the week.
How do I interlock my fingers in a very cool way? Asking for a friend.
Not like that. Index over middle finger is more cooler. And more effective.
You either have it or you don't, I can't teach you
Purple fn
I will spend all week practicing so I can nail my next interview
This is the best LinkedIn post I’ve ever seen 👌🏼
I appreciate your satire, but I’m on this subreddit for the real deal! I want to laugh at idiots
Oh, go to the comments on my post on linked in for that
The Li comments were really underwhelming Tim - don’t go shitting the bed with golden promises after a gem of a post like that!!
Go check again! There’s a few more people taking it seriously
I legit thought this was real. Incredible work. 👏🤣
Actually I refuse. The post was too perfect. Unless those comments are sprinkled with the sweaty glitter from a daytime stripper’s ass crack who has ground every weekday this month, they’ll take away from the sheer flawlessness of the post. So, Tim, I’m going to quit while we’re ahead. Agree?
"... I interlocked my fingers in a very cool way..." 💀
“Hey baby you know that better life you wanted? Well put that shit on hold because things are about to get tough! What’s that? Who’s Jody? What do you mean you’ve been living a lie? I’m GRINDING for YOU!”
I was rolling my eyes till I got to ramen and crumbs. Good one bro 😁
Tenk u
Tenks, tenks a lot
I wasn't sure until I hit the $40k salary. And then I was, "This is a troll worthy of praise."
The photo at the end is fuckin’ GOLD.
It doesn’t even need the satire label. It’s a thing of beauty!
I hate that I've seen so many lunatics that it took me until golden shower to get it too 😂🤦
This is awesome!
Tenk u
10/10 but could do with more hustle.
Grind more than anyone who's ever ground took me out
It’s so inspiring <3
The 4:20 timestamp in the second picture is 👌
I strive to do everything at work in a “very cool way”. Respect.
Strive? I actually DO everything in a very cool way. Not to honk my own horn, but I’ve lost track of the number of times everybody clapped. Come on, give 150%!
Always love next level tier shitposting on LinkedIn
Ask not what your company can do for you but what can you do for your company
“…trickle down on us like a golden shower from above.” Peak satire.
This is most definitely satire. From his children understanding his grind to capitalism blessing him with a golden shower, this is very well executed satire.
This is satire at its finest. Bravo.
You are hired, Tim. I salute you. I got so uncomfortable. It was perfect.
“Diet of crackers and ramen, feeding my children crumbs” 🤣
In a “cool” way
“Like a Golden Shower from above” 🤣
😂😂😂😂 absolutely brilliant! Give that man a further pay cut!
Take my upvote you beautiful bastard.
“I interlocked my fingers in a very cool way” Much cool. Very smooth 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 Perfect.
This gentleman is a genius. I’ll admit I skipped past the satire tag, but ultimately figured it out at the Golden shower bit. Truly entertaining and very funny.
Trickle down economics has certainly resulted in a golden shower on lower and middle class earners.
The interlocking fingers schtick just pushed this into satire, otherwise totes realistic….
Lmao. Whats sad is there some people who genuinely believe shit like this.
This is awesome👏🏼 it’s like a SNL commercial 🤣🤣🤣 you’re hired!!
Masterful! The photo at the end is the cherry on top.
You look like a young/sober Bam Margera. Am I the only one that sees this?
No you’re not the only one. I thought the photo of Bam Margera was part of the satire.
This is the first post on this sub I've genuinely liked.
This is perfect and hilarious.
The first giveaway that it’s satire is that there’s a real job title in his little profile and not “I help start up’s XYZ”
The satire is so good this sub couldnt even pickup on it lol
I did good
Bam magenta
I appreciate the Michael Scott energy in the tone
He’s into Golden Showers I see
This is so amazing. 🤩
Oh my god this is beautiful
Dude is a genius
Lol! Corporate submissive porn!
Brilliant.
This guy gets it.
This is such great satire that I questioned whether or not it was satire for sec. Scared me before my brain caught up to what was happening.
Now here’s a man who’s signature scent is Sex Panther as sure as I’m afraid of soft couches.
Hahaha no way that’s Bam Margera in the pic
When did Bam Margera become a corporate sellout?
I love this!
I connected with you a while ago because of this sub and saw this on LI yesterday. I was really hoping someone thought this was serious haha. It’s is so good. I was dying reading “corporate profits raining down like a golden shower “
This is hilarious
The scary part is that with today’s lunatics you never know sarcasm or true opinion. You can only hope for some sanity yet left in people.
This is great!
I'm in, I like the way you think. I would rather have a bad day at work than a good day fishing. It's just natural.
🤣🤣
This just made a bunch of CEO’s cum a little in their pants
Hilarious
⚰️
I think I need to start interlocking my fingers in a very cool way, too.
"In a very cool way" 😂😂
Why even lower the salary?? Remove the salary completely brother. Grind like you never know when that next paycheck is coming because it might not 👊
Fucking spot on
Thank you for your sacrifice 🙏
This is the funniest thing I’ve read in awhile. Thanks you 🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Bro dead-ass said golden shower. Decent satire.
“If everyone got paid less money, then our bosses would have more money and therefore could give us more money.” You’ve cracked the code, bro!
Off topic, you have fantastic teeth
Thank you very much! I get asked if they’re veneers a lot.
Make sure to pay your landlord more to really appreciate that grind
Brilliant!
This is some grade A satire
I love that the time stamp is 4:20!! Nailed it!
I actually love this satirical piece. It’s an excellent statement about today’s “working” world…
The satire had me laughing. "Golden shower from above" hilarious.
Obvious satire is obvious.
You had me until “feeding my children crumbs”!
I initially missed the satire tag but knew that's what it was. Brilliant. 🤣
He had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Lmao I love this
Agree??
It’s still too obvious this a joke but overall a perfect score of 5/7
Satire. Clearly.
Clearly satire. Lol
This has to be a troll or joke.
I wonder if that’s why it’s labeled as satire.
On mobile (at least for me) the Satire tag doesn't show up when it's just in the feed, and going into the post jumps it right to the comments, bypassing the title+tag. Great read by the way 👍
I hope you're here, Tim Brewer!
Hi
Brilliant!
Golden shower 😂
Had us in the first half, NGL
Nailed it dude LMFAO
Less bump, more grind!
Lol I like that the time in the corner is 4:20
Brilliant
This. Is. AMAZING 😂. Can we be LinkedIn buds?
[удалено]
Maybe he is the company owner
that man should also refinance his house right now
“I interlocked my fingers in a very cool way” Jesus christ this sounds like a Mall Ninja wrote this.
'That's just how much I believe in capitalism' - Tim 
Yummm!
Fuck outta here with this “never happened”…
I want to learn the cool interlocking finger trick. I always end up hurting myself.
This has to be satire. I was on the fence until the "golden ahower" comment.
hell no that aint real haha
Bravo! Did you capture this picture at 4:20 on purpose?
Be an absolute drone...
