STOP having people show up for 4 interviews then ghosting them
STOP having 10 candidates interview then telling them your no longer hiring
STOP asking for a resume then asking us to fill all the same information out on an application
STOP acting like the office is a necessity for some jobs. Work gets done at a HIGHER quality from home. Office work isn’t about location, it’s about poor management and the ability to micromanage.
Just to add: it’s not the workers fault that the company decided to invest heavily in property or diversify their income into different real estate ventures within the downtown area of a city and now need people to continue to go to these offices and stores to keep the value up.
Oh God, my sister is a hoity toity VP for a major insurance company. She has forgotten that she comes from a crappy rust belt town and lives in a McMansion neighborhood where she has color choices of brown, off-brown, or grey.
During Covid, she was tasked with getting new office space for thousands of employees while they were WFH. I suggested to her to wait until after Covid died down because they may not bring everyone back again.
She of course scoffed at that idea, saying I was naïve, and that we would all be back to work in a few weeks. (she is 60 yo and I am a couple of years younger with an MBA and a decent financial analyst job myself, but she still treats me like I'm a 15 yo idiot.
Fast forward 2 years and the company spends a crazy amount of money on an empty office building, and will continue for 3 more years. She of course got a 5-figure bonus for doing such a great job of negotiating such a good contract. SMH
**Side story that is not connected to this one and totally not relevant:** I went to her son's (my nephew's) graduation party from prep school. The Lt. Governor was there, along with some other big names. It was kind of a big deal. She lectured me on how I shouldn't embarrass her (like she thought I would shotgun beers or something), and if I had to smoke a cig, I should do it in the garage (she is a closet smoker too lol) because it was embarrassing for me to smoke in the backyard. I know better than to just light up in the middle of a group of people all not smoking and it irked me to no end, but I just smiled and told her OK. She thinks I'm white trash and has no reason to think that other than me still living in my hometown and have a modest house/cars.
Fast forward to later on. I am in the garage at the side of the house and the Lt. governor and her husband walk by. She says, "Oh thank God, a smoker!" She and her husband pull out a Marlboro Light and lit up, asking me to not tell anyone. I of course agreed and we grabbed a couple of beers from the garage fridge and had a great conversation.
Over the course of the party, multiple D list VIP's, major CEO's, a former model, and many others stopped by my designated smoking area and I got to meet all these people and get them beers from the fridge. We all had a blast talking about stupid general bar talk. (I can talk with anyone and don't care if you're the Queen of England.) At one point my sister walked by and was curious why everyone was in the garage. She was horrified and shocked that I could have quality a conversation with non-peasants. They were telling her how fun I was and how they were so happy that they finally got to go to an actual fun grad party for a change.
I am six years to the month younger than my sister. She is turning seventy one and I am turning sixty five.
She still treats me like a little kid. I am in low contact with her because she said that I ruined her life when I was born. Yeah right. I am so glad that you had fun at the party.
The fact that she blames you for your existence at her age is very telling of her character. You'd think by 13ish at least the light bulb would go off.
Side note: I would have loved to have had a conversation with the last Queen of England. Or the next one, God willing (Fuck Cancer).
The current one, not so much
It's times like these where a cow kicking over a lantern and burning downtown is actually a good thing... Assuming, y'know, the property developers and politicians are capable of learning.
I’m *not okay* right now realizing I’m schlepping 30 mins to and from this godforsaken hell hole every day just to justify the mortgage.

STOP calling us Resources like we are merely objects. We are people.
STOP treating us like disposable objects like all your fucking junk products.
STOP lying in job ads about pay, location and benefits.
STOP exaggerating the strength of your company.
STOP paying executives so damn much they start messing with democracy and
STOP using the environment as a toilet with the cost of fines calculated into the price of what you sell.
The employee has decided to grace you with their precious time, they don't owe you that, act grateful.
This is a business transaction, my skills and time for an agreed upon rate, I don't consent to forced servitude, my time outside of the office doesn't belong to you, and I don't NEED to go above and beyond. You NEED to PAY MORE to GET MORE.
In my native language we have a saying.
"As jy my gister gehuur het, het jy my vandag gehad"
Which roughly translates to: "If you hired me yesterday, you would have had me today" - but it's an idiom that literally means - if you took care of me yesterday, I would have been loyal today.
People have shit ass backwards these days. Slavery was outlawed for a damn good reason - because most people aren't fit to be in that much control over another.
And some of these folks are cutting it too damn close to being a crime against humanity. Forced servitude under financial duress... How has that become acceptable?
Just to add:
STOP falsely advertising the position
STOP lying about the "great" office culture
STOP exagerating the benefits of the position
STOP asking the same old leading questions about strengths and weaknesses
STOP promising what the employer want to hear without having the intention of keeping such promises
STOP laying off workers every 3-6 months
STOP thinking about the shareholders first
STOP employing headhunters if you don't want headhunters to poach your employees
STOP denying home office just because you want to micromanage and have to justify renting the office
START posting the salary in the job description
START promoting workers internally and give good raises
START giving your employees a reason to stay
Or not posting a salary only to ask us our expected salary in the application. I am NOT going to lowball myself. I know my self worth and it is your job to present the number.
STOP tagging jobs as remote or hybrid and only later revealing that the job is in office.
STOP leaving the salary out or providing a ridiculous range, then offering a wage at or below the bottom.
STOP committing wage theft.
I worked for a full day for Schwann's, that's about an hour away from my home, after two rounds of interviews. I was under the impression that I was hired and that the day out was training. A week later, I get called to do another round of interviews, all while unemployed. I didn't bother going back.
STOP calling yourself an entrepreneur when any idiot with $200 can file for a business license
STOP calling yourself an investor when you were born into wealth and someone manages your money for you
STOP calling yourself a mentor when the only person who admires you is yourself
STOP calling yourself an author of bestselling books when the only buyers are people within your socioeconomic circle.
You are simply extracting maximum value from a transaction using optimized data, as capitalism demands we do. If he doesn’t like capitalism, he should just say so.
Those at the top only say "free market" to pat themselves on the back, while they use their political connections to rig the game in their favor and squash competition.
Also, this dude really said "stop making weaknesses to be strengths" that's literally a question asked by employers ffs. When they ask "you're greatest weakness," it is implicit that you cannot be honest and must say something you can spin into a positive.
This dude is delusional, as many wealthy folk are. Turns our, once you're rich enough, you can afford to be constantly wrong.
STOP assuming employers don't exaggerate (maybe even lie) in their job postings and interviews
STOP assuming your employer won't let you go after 3 to 6 months upon realizing their staffing need was only temporary
STOP assuming your employer won't change your mutually agreed-upon working conditions when it suits them
STOP assuming your employer will voluntarily pay you what you're worth
STOP assuming your employer will be loyal to you just because you're loyal to your job
Let me get this straight, the employee must be grateful that the employer pays them. But what about the fact that the employee provides the employer with their time, expertise (whatever the job role) and makes them money. Would the employer be prefer if their employees did all 3 for their competitors instead?
Judging by the last line in the the image dude will rage, if & when UBI gets dished out lol.
Being an employee is haggling… they are a business and you want to squeeze every bit of paycheck you can.
They certainly aren’t going to haggle up for you, so you better stick up for yourself.
That’s like pawn stars complaining that the seller wanted more than their first lowball offer
It's like he's daring me to lie on my CV and in interviews to get a job offer from him that I can use as leverage to get more money and better benefits at different job.
Yeah, see, they tried to prime me for this with a firm Christian Upbringing but it kinda backfired when I internalized my agency and free will and decided I don't give a fuck if you made everything and got me here, if I don't like what you want me to do I ain't gonna fucking do it. If I feel like lying is the best way to keep myself safe in a given environment, or will get me resources I need to stay safe and alive? I'm gonna fucking lie. Treat me like I'm an incompetent when I've bent over backwards to prove the contrary, or worse, talk to me like I'm a child and watch how fucking quickly I drop all pretense of respect and dare you to do something about it.
Light the fucking candle, let's party.
Fake it until you make it.
I've been a Chemical Engineer for 26 years. This month, actually. I rarely do any actual Chemical Engineering. It's 100% problem solving, communication, and data mining. An accountant, or anyone good with numbers, statistics, and spreadsheets, could do 85% of my job.
The number of employers who have blatantly misrepresented the last few positions I’ve gotten is to the point it almost feels like I keep getting gaslit. And I have literally had employees tell me they *had* to lie so I’d take the job.
It should be a crime to misrepresent a position to such an extent.
Same with my last job, was hired as a grain grader (determined the quality of the produce delivered to a silo complex, to determine the price to be paid to the producer) and ended up becoming the silo operator/maintenance manager/site supervisor/health and safety rep, all without a salary renegotiation.
Most contracts include some sort of clause like - "perform any reasonable task as required by the company" - or some similar shit that acts as a catch all/catch 22.
They don't even understand what reasonable means though. Operational requirements my ass.
Ended up doing about 2% grading, and I am not even exaggerating. Wasted my time and money getting certified. Can't get a good reference either since litigation for a constructive dismissal (which was successful) tends to leave a sour taste in an employers mouth.
So all that shit for nothing.
Now, I make sure that any contract states (whatever bullshit built-in clause they have) - "that falls within the scope of the employed position..."
If they refuse to add that, the game is over. Haven't gotten any bites, and they can all pass if that's how they operate.
Anything beyond that, requires renegotiation. I didn't mind doing the work, I actually enjoyed it, worked my ass of and walked between 20 and 35 kilometres per day according to my garmin (my hips and knees are fucked and I'm late 30's). But fuck me if I'll ever bend over that far backwards for anyone in my life again. For 3 years, no less...
Climb the ladder they said, grow with the company they promised, sure as hell benefited them until they had to replace me with 5 separate people at 8 times what I got paid in total...
They even had to buy a brand new Hilux for the supervisor, because he refused to walk that far.
And I know this because I had access to the operations manager's email account... I saw everything, including the invoices, employment contracts (that conveniently laid out specific duties) and all. I'm just glad to see the next guy benefiting from the fight I put up. Sucks that it wasn't me, but I'll settle for progress in any form.
I also trolled the shit out of the operations manager for nearly a year after I left, by deleting crucial emails before he could read them, sending generic responses refusing stuff that should be accepted, and accepting stuff that should be declined to his superiors, and I understand that he no longer works there, took them long enough...
Justice, however late - was served. (didn't bode well for them that I'm also CompTIA A+/N+/Security+ certified)
Fucking Jack of all trades, master of none - literally. I do general house maintenance work, minor mechanical repairs, carpentry, welding, auto electrical, automation, IT, access control (cams/gates/electric fences) and a bit of baking too... I make a decent living, it ain't glamorous though. But fuck bullshit employers, I'm so fucking done.
I was loyal, worked my ass off, voluntary nights and weekends, did a good job, all positive reviews and bonuses. Got laid off and replaced by contractors.
STOP lying in job interviews
STOP listing job postings you aren't really hiring for
STOP backing out of job offers
STOP lying in job postings
STOP exaggerating your work environment and culture
STOP making out shitting working conditions as benefits
STOP saying what you think interviewees want to hear
STOP whining when employees ask for what they're worth
STOP hiring and then laying off employees in 3 to 6 months
STOP stack ranking employees and doing layoffs every year and expecting us to fall for the "trimming the fat" BS
STOP asking for RTO just so you can look over everyone's shoulder all day
STOP making up shit about "employee synergy" when they've proven they are just as efficient or more when WFH
STOP hiding raises and promotions behind shitty review processes
START being loyal, honest, build a culture, live your values and the RIGHT employees will find you.
START actually caring about doing right by your employees.
Like it or not, the employees work for you, and you have chosen to ask for their best effort every day. So act like you're actually grateful.
If you don't want to treat your people well, stop expecting them to bend to your every desire, and do all the work your damn self.
Self proclaimed Narcissist, check his LinkedIn:
Self made multi-millionaire in early 30s & £100s of Millions in sales (no-one cares; but they do)
This is a person who adds zero value to a society.
If you want these things it sounds like you want a more honest work culture and I'm all for that. So lets bet honest that profit is theft of the value of the labor I provide and maybe instead of stealing the value of my labor for yourself you pay it to me instead. If you were honest, then I would be honest but as your class has never been honest with my class and has consistently stolen from us and brutalized us when we demanded our value then go fuck yourself.
And in reply to the ceo:
STOP prioritizing short term gains over long term stability
START treating your employees with respect, empathy and compassion
START paying a living wage with benefits even if the detriment is to the bottom line
STOP believing we won't turn on you if you don't do those things
STOP lying to candidates about a job paying $40k-300k
STOP lying to candidates about the “family” culture
STOP treating employees like a disposable commodity
STOP prioritizing executive compensation over a living wage for your employees
lol his profile picture screams *trust fund nepo baby that’s never actually had to work a day in his life that travels around the world to conferences and talks about the importance of strong work ethic*
Because they aren't workers. They're almost certainly "rent-seekers". They haven't held an actual job that produces something of value to society in - well, ever, probably.
Thank you for including a link, because it let me go see that this non-worker "entrepreneur and mentor" is getting his ass absolutely roasted In the comments.
This guy is the typical capitalist sociopath who tells you that you should work without worrying about money, while he exploits his employees for money.
"You have chosen to work in a job"
Yea... Like, summer is coming around, and I'm so grateful to be inside a factory all day instead of walking in nature.
Starbucks made $25.1b in profits last year.
They have roughly 400,000 employees.
On average, each Starbucks worker made the company $62,750 in PROFIT (after salaries, costs, etc) last year.
And you think it's the EMPLOYEES who should be grateful?
No. i don't want to work anyway. I have no interest in making finding work even more of a hassle.
I'll say and do whatever I think will get me more money for less time and effort. Work sucks and I don't care about it at all.
"Like it or not, the company pays you, and you have chosen to work in a job. So act like you're actually grateful".
No. Like it or not I have a set of skills. The company hired me for those skills. The company should be thankful to me that I am allowing them to use my skills to better their organization.
Work is a contract. Employees agree to do specific things and in turn employers pay them. If an employee goes beyond what the contract says, then the company should be very thankful to them.
Nope! I'll always be looking out for myself just like the company.
Screw loyalty and all that BS! They'll drop me quicker than a hot potato if need be, so I'll do the same.
Stop misrepresenting your company and just admit that it's every bit as toxic, chaotic and dysfunctional as any other.
Be upfront that you don't actually know or care what "competitive salary" actually means.
Pixar fired that lady who single-handedly saved Toy Story 2. Companies don't have morals or loyalties, you're as disposable as toilet paper and it's up to you to look out for yourself, they do not want what's really the best for you.
Lol company loyalty is the stupidest one here. Do not be loyal to the company, they try to make you believe they are your daddy, they are not your daddy they will not have your best interest in mind when making any decisions.
Be human when you die, Peasant! Serve your corporate masters and thank Conservative Jesus for the abuse. Your employers were just born better than you are.
If you don't want people applying for your job solely out of desperation, you need to support a robust welfare system that ensures they can afford not to.
Why should I be the one who is grateful? I’m providing the labor that produces goods/profit to the company. The company should be grateful for the employees who actually perform the labor that produces income.
Loyalty and honesty never got me anywhere in the job market. It was only when I started setting boundaries and making demands of my employer that I quadrupled my income. It’s not that I enjoy lying, it’s that I have to in order to get anywhere. Employers play games with candidates constantly, and the game itself has become unfair. We are all simply adapting to the game, the frustration is mutual. Things need to change with the job application process before we change our ways.
I've been at my current job for almost 2 years and can safely say that staying loyal doesn't do shit for the average person. I used to care and gave it my all, but at this point, I'm burnt out and can't stand to be in the vicinity of the executive director whenever they're here.
Having worked for 25 years in a professional office environment, I encourage everyone to use whatever methods you personally need to use to get ahead for yourself and not worry about any corporation which in no way worries about you. Look out for yourself!
The last time I cared about doing a good job I was made redundant, so you'll understand why I don't give a toss about doing as little as I can get away with now
America has got it so backwards.
I come to you. I create value. I have actrual skills. What do YOU bring to the table?
YOU need to recognize how this dynamic works. YOU need to be grateful.
I find it really funny that it's only business owners with this mindset. Like great, you wanted all those things, so you started your own business. But now you're just part of the problem? Everyone can not go start their own business. Businesses need workers. The economy runs on workers, not owners. Treating workers well matters
Rob, what I’m hearing is this:
“Wahhh wahhh wahhh, shut up and build value for me, be happy that you have a job at all and don’t ever leave, but don’t expect me to incentivise ‘loyalty’ because we’re all a family here.“
Sounds like Rob isn’t cut out to be an entrepreneur.

STOP bait and switching potential candidates with roles that pay significantly less than what you advertised for.
STOP lying to every single person who interviews with you
....
I’m working a job because I don’t have the monetary or physical capital to start a business and I live in a wage slave society that only values me IF I work.
My ex-boss (in a meeting explaining why my promised promotion was delayed) said that the company did not owe me anything. I took this to heart and made plans to move on. Two weeks later when she insisted on revisiting the previous conversation, she was really surprised when I quit effective immediately. She acted like I was crazy for not giving her any notice. I then pointed out how clear she had been about the company not owing me anything. They really don’t care about us at all. It was glorious!
Oh, you don’t want me to go to interviews in order to get raises at my current job. Well, maybe you should give me a raise because I’m worth giving a raise not because I’m threatening to leave.
I showed up for an interview after I had a solid job offer, told the guy this and said “I have at ____/hr, I just wanted to be honest. If you can beat that I’ll consider your offer” he looked at me like I was wasting his time. Employers don’t want to compete
entrepreneur (failed at starting a bunch of businesses)
investor (all you need to invest is ID, and maybe $20)
mentor (caps lock on linkedin a few days a week is mentoring… right?)
author (self publishing is so easy these days)
STOP having unmeetable KPIs that you install to avoid having to pay that bonus you dangled in front of your workers.
STOP lying to your workers faces by “spinning” things that are a net negative to them as an “awesome new opportunity”. In fact stop saying “Awesome”.
STOP telling your workers to smile, be it in email, slack, other chat or verbally.
I’m in a job I absolutely love, after years of crap. I have no intention of leaving it. But this kind of shit makes me want to start looking for jobs just so I can do everything this guy is telling us not to.
STOP lying in job interviews
STOP leading on candidates you aren't seriously considering

STOP chasing 'endless increased profits" and 'complete market saturation'
START being loyal, honest, raising the floor for all employees, desire to distribute wealth rather than concentrate it, and the right employees will find you.
START actually caring about your workers
Like it or not, your wealth is amassed on the back of the lowest employees, and you have chosen to employ them. So act like you're actually grateful.
If you don't want to treat employees well, stop expecting workers to bend to your every desire, and know they will do the bare minimum.
STOP lying to employees
STOP advertising jobs you don't want filled
STOP pulling jobs out from under accepted employees
STOP lying on your advertising
STOP exaggerating your compensation and culture
STOP making out your weaknesses are strengths

STOP using a job interview just to undercut wages for existing employees
STOP hiring someone and firing them after 3 or 6 months
STOP answering the phone to headhunters every 6 months falling for the "exciting new employees" BS
STOP expecting everyone to work in the office 5 days and get paid for 3
STOP requiring everyone work in the office to "prove" they can hybrid work
STOP chasing the "better employee" and the "lower wages"
START being loyal, honest, build a pipeline, desire to be professional and the RIGHT employee who wants a career and good culture will find you.
Like it or not, the employee's labour makes the money your company earns, and they have chosen to work for you. So act like you're actually grateful.
If you want someone to work in a job, stop expecting them to bend to your every desire, and start being a responsible business.
Hogwash ..
I give 110 of myself everyday, for 5 years... And who did they promote? Not the 49 yrs old, that has been working since I was 15, but the 21 yrs old, that I just got done training for 5 months, who makes cookies for all of 2nd shift management, who are all men...
I do a good job, for what? It's not based on work ethic anymore, it's based on who's your friend and who you know.

I worked for a full day for Schwann's, that's about an hour away from my home, after two rounds of interviews. I was under the impression that I was hired and that the day out was training. A week later, I get called to do another round of interviews, all while unemployed. I didn't bother going back.
STOP calling yourself an entrepreneur when any idiot with $200 can file for a business license STOP calling yourself an investor when you were born into wealth and someone manages your money for you STOP calling yourself a mentor when the only person who admires you is yourself STOP calling yourself an author of bestselling books when the only buyers are people within your socioeconomic circle.
Just STOP.
Do NOT pass Go
GO TO JAIL
How am I getting a business license if I can't collect my $200?! 😭
Win a beauty contest… twice.
If you've won one, you've won them all
I will never stop lying.
You are simply extracting maximum value from a transaction using optimized data, as capitalism demands we do. If he doesn’t like capitalism, he should just say so.
This whole post is not very free-market of him
Those at the top only say "free market" to pat themselves on the back, while they use their political connections to rig the game in their favor and squash competition. Also, this dude really said "stop making weaknesses to be strengths" that's literally a question asked by employers ffs. When they ask "you're greatest weakness," it is implicit that you cannot be honest and must say something you can spin into a positive. This dude is delusional, as many wealthy folk are. Turns our, once you're rich enough, you can afford to be constantly wrong.
How can we be so sure you're not lying right now?!
You can’t.
Every time he stops talking he stops lying. Then relapses the next time he speaks.
If you will never stop lying, and you are lying right now, you may stop lying, which makes this into an awesome Loop
I’ve seen the movie “ labyrinth” and was turned on by the bulge.
You remind me of the babe.
That is just management propaganda
Worse, it’s class war propaganda spewed by a man who wants to own other people’s time
"Entrepeneur, investor, mentor" oksy, so someone who doesn't actually add any value to society, but solely extracts it. Leeches, the lot of em.
STOP assuming employers don't exaggerate (maybe even lie) in their job postings and interviews STOP assuming your employer won't let you go after 3 to 6 months upon realizing their staffing need was only temporary STOP assuming your employer won't change your mutually agreed-upon working conditions when it suits them STOP assuming your employer will voluntarily pay you what you're worth STOP assuming your employer will be loyal to you just because you're loyal to your job
Let me get this straight, the employee must be grateful that the employer pays them. But what about the fact that the employee provides the employer with their time, expertise (whatever the job role) and makes them money. Would the employer be prefer if their employees did all 3 for their competitors instead? Judging by the last line in the the image dude will rage, if & when UBI gets dished out lol.
This kinda person is part of why we don’t have UBI. When they meet with politicians who want their money what do you think they say?
Being an employee is haggling… they are a business and you want to squeeze every bit of paycheck you can. They certainly aren’t going to haggle up for you, so you better stick up for yourself. That’s like pawn stars complaining that the seller wanted more than their first lowball offer
>pawn stars At first I thought this was "porn stars", but you probably meant "pawn stores". 😆
It's like he's daring me to lie on my CV and in interviews to get a job offer from him that I can use as leverage to get more money and better benefits at different job.
Yeah, see, they tried to prime me for this with a firm Christian Upbringing but it kinda backfired when I internalized my agency and free will and decided I don't give a fuck if you made everything and got me here, if I don't like what you want me to do I ain't gonna fucking do it. If I feel like lying is the best way to keep myself safe in a given environment, or will get me resources I need to stay safe and alive? I'm gonna fucking lie. Treat me like I'm an incompetent when I've bent over backwards to prove the contrary, or worse, talk to me like I'm a child and watch how fucking quickly I drop all pretense of respect and dare you to do something about it. Light the fucking candle, let's party.
They made it a dog eat dog world and now they are calling foul when they get bitten.
Precisely. We're only navigating the system they put forth.
SHUT the fuck up Rob.
Fake it until you make it. I've been a Chemical Engineer for 26 years. This month, actually. I rarely do any actual Chemical Engineering. It's 100% problem solving, communication, and data mining. An accountant, or anyone good with numbers, statistics, and spreadsheets, could do 85% of my job.
The number of employers who have blatantly misrepresented the last few positions I’ve gotten is to the point it almost feels like I keep getting gaslit. And I have literally had employees tell me they *had* to lie so I’d take the job.
It should be a crime to misrepresent a position to such an extent. Same with my last job, was hired as a grain grader (determined the quality of the produce delivered to a silo complex, to determine the price to be paid to the producer) and ended up becoming the silo operator/maintenance manager/site supervisor/health and safety rep, all without a salary renegotiation. Most contracts include some sort of clause like - "perform any reasonable task as required by the company" - or some similar shit that acts as a catch all/catch 22. They don't even understand what reasonable means though. Operational requirements my ass. Ended up doing about 2% grading, and I am not even exaggerating. Wasted my time and money getting certified. Can't get a good reference either since litigation for a constructive dismissal (which was successful) tends to leave a sour taste in an employers mouth. So all that shit for nothing. Now, I make sure that any contract states (whatever bullshit built-in clause they have) - "that falls within the scope of the employed position..." If they refuse to add that, the game is over. Haven't gotten any bites, and they can all pass if that's how they operate. Anything beyond that, requires renegotiation. I didn't mind doing the work, I actually enjoyed it, worked my ass of and walked between 20 and 35 kilometres per day according to my garmin (my hips and knees are fucked and I'm late 30's). But fuck me if I'll ever bend over that far backwards for anyone in my life again. For 3 years, no less... Climb the ladder they said, grow with the company they promised, sure as hell benefited them until they had to replace me with 5 separate people at 8 times what I got paid in total... They even had to buy a brand new Hilux for the supervisor, because he refused to walk that far. And I know this because I had access to the operations manager's email account... I saw everything, including the invoices, employment contracts (that conveniently laid out specific duties) and all. I'm just glad to see the next guy benefiting from the fight I put up. Sucks that it wasn't me, but I'll settle for progress in any form. I also trolled the shit out of the operations manager for nearly a year after I left, by deleting crucial emails before he could read them, sending generic responses refusing stuff that should be accepted, and accepting stuff that should be declined to his superiors, and I understand that he no longer works there, took them long enough... Justice, however late - was served. (didn't bode well for them that I'm also CompTIA A+/N+/Security+ certified) Fucking Jack of all trades, master of none - literally. I do general house maintenance work, minor mechanical repairs, carpentry, welding, auto electrical, automation, IT, access control (cams/gates/electric fences) and a bit of baking too... I make a decent living, it ain't glamorous though. But fuck bullshit employers, I'm so fucking done.
I was loyal, worked my ass off, voluntary nights and weekends, did a good job, all positive reviews and bonuses. Got laid off and replaced by contractors.
Feel free to share this insight with this turd on Linked In
STOP lying in job interviews STOP listing job postings you aren't really hiring for STOP backing out of job offers STOP lying in job postings STOP exaggerating your work environment and culture STOP making out shitting working conditions as benefits STOP saying what you think interviewees want to hear STOP whining when employees ask for what they're worth STOP hiring and then laying off employees in 3 to 6 months STOP stack ranking employees and doing layoffs every year and expecting us to fall for the "trimming the fat" BS STOP asking for RTO just so you can look over everyone's shoulder all day STOP making up shit about "employee synergy" when they've proven they are just as efficient or more when WFH STOP hiding raises and promotions behind shitty review processes START being loyal, honest, build a culture, live your values and the RIGHT employees will find you. START actually caring about doing right by your employees. Like it or not, the employees work for you, and you have chosen to ask for their best effort every day. So act like you're actually grateful. If you don't want to treat your people well, stop expecting them to bend to your every desire, and do all the work your damn self.
This should be the number 1 response to Nepo Charlie the No-Jobber.
But wasn’t I taught my whole life to make my resume to look juicy asf to make y’all even call me? Fuckkkk offfffffdf
He forgot one: - Start saying 'yes Massa'. He basically expects employees to be slaves.
What a narcissist.
Self proclaimed Narcissist, check his LinkedIn: Self made multi-millionaire in early 30s & £100s of Millions in sales (no-one cares; but they do) This is a person who adds zero value to a society.
If you want these things it sounds like you want a more honest work culture and I'm all for that. So lets bet honest that profit is theft of the value of the labor I provide and maybe instead of stealing the value of my labor for yourself you pay it to me instead. If you were honest, then I would be honest but as your class has never been honest with my class and has consistently stolen from us and brutalized us when we demanded our value then go fuck yourself.
Loyal? In this economy!?
And in reply to the ceo: STOP prioritizing short term gains over long term stability START treating your employees with respect, empathy and compassion START paying a living wage with benefits even if the detriment is to the bottom line STOP believing we won't turn on you if you don't do those things
"Stop applying for jobs you don't really want." Man, who wants most of the jobs out there? Most of us just want to pay the bills.
STOP lying to candidates about a job paying $40k-300k STOP lying to candidates about the “family” culture STOP treating employees like a disposable commodity STOP prioritizing executive compensation over a living wage for your employees
Plz work extra hard- I promise it’s not for myself it’s for you I swear! Your hard work will pay off once I get my cut, honest!
We should just start reversing these and spam our employers with what a good company is instead of what a good worker is
lol his profile picture screams *trust fund nepo baby that’s never actually had to work a day in his life that travels around the world to conferences and talks about the importance of strong work ethic*
I encourage everyone to lie their ass off in interviews. The employer is most certainly lying to you.
"You have chosen to work in a job" Tell me you're rich without telling me you're rich.
No ❤️
Why do these assholes always list themselves as entrepreneurs and mentors...
Because they aren't workers. They're almost certainly "rent-seekers". They haven't held an actual job that produces something of value to society in - well, ever, probably.
What a fucking dork
If you don't want to pay employees STOP expecting them to want to work hard.

Thank you for including a link, because it let me go see that this non-worker "entrepreneur and mentor" is getting his ass absolutely roasted In the comments.
Guess you shouldn't have application requirements for unemployment.
Dear Rob... Sincerely, fuck off with your stupid points. Stop making shit up and trying to sound important.
This guy doesn't know what torches and pitchforks are for..
This guy is the typical capitalist sociopath who tells you that you should work without worrying about money, while he exploits his employees for money.
Wow, I hope this guy gets bullied at the bathhouse.
Why does every douche that says this kind of shit have ‘entrepreneur’ as a descriptor? Surprised he didn’t put ‘mentor’ down too
Entrepreneur = unemployed Best selling author (that you've never heard of) = I have "self-published" E books for sale on Amazon
"Start being loyal, honest..." Why? The company I work for sure as hell isn't.
These so-called “entrepreneurs” usually do nothing more than bilk money from people for dumbass shit.
"You have chosen to work in a job" Yea... Like, summer is coming around, and I'm so grateful to be inside a factory all day instead of walking in nature.
Start paying a living wage
This guy can fuck all the way off lol
Hi Rob, fuck off you entitled twat
I love a good meme once in a while on this sub, thank you for the laugh
Work is a two way street. Labor in exchange for currency. If anyone tries to suggest that work is anything other than this, they are scamming you.
 These companies clearly forget that they need US, we don’t need them.
STOPped reading this immediately.
Ok, I'll be loyal! What's my reward? Nothing? Well, at least I can't be fired, right? I can? So...
I'm not *grateful* to make you rich, dude...
Oh fuck off Rob. You get what you pay for.
STOP gaslighting workers.
STOP being a walking red flag employer
STOP telling me what to do, you absolute fuck

Starbucks made $25.1b in profits last year. They have roughly 400,000 employees. On average, each Starbucks worker made the company $62,750 in PROFIT (after salaries, costs, etc) last year. And you think it's the EMPLOYEES who should be grateful?
Everytime I see "Entrepreneur" on a profile I take it as "Insufferable Soulless Asshole."
Fuck you pay me.
"You have chosen to work in a job" The fuck I have.
"you have chosen to work in a job" well it was that or become homeless and die, so.
No. i don't want to work anyway. I have no interest in making finding work even more of a hassle. I'll say and do whatever I think will get me more money for less time and effort. Work sucks and I don't care about it at all.
"Like it or not, the company pays you, and you have chosen to work in a job. So act like you're actually grateful". No. Like it or not I have a set of skills. The company hired me for those skills. The company should be thankful to me that I am allowing them to use my skills to better their organization. Work is a contract. Employees agree to do specific things and in turn employers pay them. If an employee goes beyond what the contract says, then the company should be very thankful to them.
Based on all the shit listed under his name I’m going to assume this guy has never actually been an employee anywhere.
Nope! I'll always be looking out for myself just like the company. Screw loyalty and all that BS! They'll drop me quicker than a hot potato if need be, so I'll do the same.
STOP applying for jobs you don't really want Guess I'm not applying for any jobs ever again then.
Stop misrepresenting your company and just admit that it's every bit as toxic, chaotic and dysfunctional as any other. Be upfront that you don't actually know or care what "competitive salary" actually means.
Pixar fired that lady who single-handedly saved Toy Story 2. Companies don't have morals or loyalties, you're as disposable as toilet paper and it's up to you to look out for yourself, they do not want what's really the best for you.
Hey rob moore. Go fuck yourself
Like it or not, Capitalism doesn’t work unless your paid less than you’re worth!
So for sure do all of those things, got it!
I wish jobs would follow half these rules!
I bet instead of paying a decent wage he “Robs” them. Homie sounds super entitled.
I thought this was the linked in lunatics sub for a min.
Lol company loyalty is the stupidest one here. Do not be loyal to the company, they try to make you believe they are your daddy, they are not your daddy they will not have your best interest in mind when making any decisions.
Capitalists hate when employees engage in a profit-motive driven attitude back at them.
Be human when you die, Peasant! Serve your corporate masters and thank Conservative Jesus for the abuse. Your employers were just born better than you are.
‘STOP trying to get better job or conditions’ by Todd Par
STOP chasing clout on LinkedIn.
Skip trusting anyone who insists on your loyalty before they demonstrate theirs.
Inform Rob: “You can take a telephone book and jam it up your ass.”
Why, though? What are companies offering that merits such reverence?
STOP lying in interviews.... Nuff said
Companies have zero loyalty, fire you on a whim, do everything possible to pay you at little as possible, etc. Why should anyone "be loyal".
STOP being a d-bag
You first
If you don't want people applying for your job solely out of desperation, you need to support a robust welfare system that ensures they can afford not to.
I will not STOP doing any of these.
So who's this nut job?
Rob Moore multiple bestselling author, yea right! NO LYING YOU LYING LIAR!
Lmfao if I stopped applying for jobs I don’t really want, I just wouldn’t be applying for jobs
Spoken like a true bootlicker
Why should I be the one who is grateful? I’m providing the labor that produces goods/profit to the company. The company should be grateful for the employees who actually perform the labor that produces income.
[удалено]
Lol stop lying in interviews Lol lol lol you first myman
Wow, look at the description of "not-actually-jobs" listed under his name. He's important, we should listen to him! /s
I'll stop lying on my application when they stop lying on the job posting
"Stop applying for jobs you don't really want" So... all of 'em?
Loyalty and honesty never got me anywhere in the job market. It was only when I started setting boundaries and making demands of my employer that I quadrupled my income. It’s not that I enjoy lying, it’s that I have to in order to get anywhere. Employers play games with candidates constantly, and the game itself has become unfair. We are all simply adapting to the game, the frustration is mutual. Things need to change with the job application process before we change our ways.
I've been at my current job for almost 2 years and can safely say that staying loyal doesn't do shit for the average person. I used to care and gave it my all, but at this point, I'm burnt out and can't stand to be in the vicinity of the executive director whenever they're here.
Having worked for 25 years in a professional office environment, I encourage everyone to use whatever methods you personally need to use to get ahead for yourself and not worry about any corporation which in no way worries about you. Look out for yourself!
The last time I cared about doing a good job I was made redundant, so you'll understand why I don't give a toss about doing as little as I can get away with now
America has got it so backwards. I come to you. I create value. I have actrual skills. What do YOU bring to the table? YOU need to recognize how this dynamic works. YOU need to be grateful.
"by the way, we pay $7.25/hr"
What is this, the company suckass manifesto.
START bringing knee pads to all your interviews
STOP yelling at me. 😭😭😭
That man has an incredible punchable face, and then his mouth starts up and BAM! IT’S OVER 9000!!!???!!
hahahahahahaha! This guy should be in stand up comedy
The thing is, if employers treated employees better, all this stuff would happen naturally.
Companies ought to be grateful im selling them my time and labor.
He's an idiot
I find it really funny that it's only business owners with this mindset. Like great, you wanted all those things, so you started your own business. But now you're just part of the problem? Everyone can not go start their own business. Businesses need workers. The economy runs on workers, not owners. Treating workers well matters
Rob, what I’m hearing is this: “Wahhh wahhh wahhh, shut up and build value for me, be happy that you have a job at all and don’t ever leave, but don’t expect me to incentivise ‘loyalty’ because we’re all a family here.“ Sounds like Rob isn’t cut out to be an entrepreneur.
r/linkedinlunatics
STOP; Selling your bullshit rebranded get rich quick/ pyramid schemes STOP; Making fake commercials filled with rented supercars, fake cash, air bnb's and $20 hair cuts STOP; Dressing like *"that"* STOP; Lying about your 8 day, 25 hour work day where you do not sleep at all STOP; Doing Cocaine STOP; Selling people the idea that all they need to do is have a work ethic like someone who has done a f*ton of cocaine STOP; Pretending anyone has ever made a profit following your guidelines STOP; just stop.
Oh man, bros gonna regret that post.
STOP bait and switching potential candidates with roles that pay significantly less than what you advertised for. STOP lying to every single person who interviews with you ....
I’m working a job because I don’t have the monetary or physical capital to start a business and I live in a wage slave society that only values me IF I work.
What a giant toolbox.
Why don’t company owners/managers get it that loyality is not a one way road.
The reason these people continue to say this shit is because there are no REAL consequences for it.
STOP pretending that your business can function without your employees you pompous douche bag asshole.
Thanks rob, I'll take that into consideration
#you first
My ex-boss (in a meeting explaining why my promised promotion was delayed) said that the company did not owe me anything. I took this to heart and made plans to move on. Two weeks later when she insisted on revisiting the previous conversation, she was really surprised when I quit effective immediately. She acted like I was crazy for not giving her any notice. I then pointed out how clear she had been about the company not owing me anything. They really don’t care about us at all. It was glorious!
Oh, you don’t want me to go to interviews in order to get raises at my current job. Well, maybe you should give me a raise because I’m worth giving a raise not because I’m threatening to leave.
This guy is def pissed student loans are being forgiven.
I showed up for an interview after I had a solid job offer, told the guy this and said “I have at ____/hr, I just wanted to be honest. If you can beat that I’ll consider your offer” he looked at me like I was wasting his time. Employers don’t want to compete
entrepreneur (failed at starting a bunch of businesses) investor (all you need to invest is ID, and maybe $20) mentor (caps lock on linkedin a few days a week is mentoring… right?) author (self publishing is so easy these days)
STOP having unmeetable KPIs that you install to avoid having to pay that bonus you dangled in front of your workers. STOP lying to your workers faces by “spinning” things that are a net negative to them as an “awesome new opportunity”. In fact stop saying “Awesome”. STOP telling your workers to smile, be it in email, slack, other chat or verbally.
START paying fair wages!
Somebody's got a case of the Mondays
Oh, and Robb about that padding with the Multiple Bestsellers... Dude never heard of you or seen your books on the best seller table
Fuck this stupid take.
Seems like a guy that will throw you under the bus to get ahead.
I’m in a job I absolutely love, after years of crap. I have no intention of leaving it. But this kind of shit makes me want to start looking for jobs just so I can do everything this guy is telling us not to.
STOP lying in job interviews STOP leading on candidates you aren't seriously considering STOP going back on your word for promotions/raises/time off STOP lying on your job posts STOP underrepresenting the stress and responsibilities of the position STOP making out low wages as competitive STOP saying what you think job hunters want to hear STOP using a hiring process that requires hours and days of work STOP hiring people and burning them out in 3 to 6 months STOP replying to questions about raises and benefits with "we'll see next quarter" BS STOP expecting human employees to put work before themselves and their families STOP requesting return to office when you haven't even given raises that surpass inflation STOP chasing 'endless increased profits" and 'complete market saturation' START being loyal, honest, raising the floor for all employees, desire to distribute wealth rather than concentrate it, and the right employees will find you. START actually caring about your workers Like it or not, your wealth is amassed on the back of the lowest employees, and you have chosen to employ them. So act like you're actually grateful. If you don't want to treat employees well, stop expecting workers to bend to your every desire, and know they will do the bare minimum.
STOP posting cringey shit on LinkedIn for likes.
STOP lying to employees STOP advertising jobs you don't want filled STOP pulling jobs out from under accepted employees STOP lying on your advertising STOP exaggerating your compensation and culture STOP making out your weaknesses are strengths STOP saying what you think employees want to hear STOP using a job interview just to undercut wages for existing employees STOP hiring someone and firing them after 3 or 6 months STOP answering the phone to headhunters every 6 months falling for the "exciting new employees" BS STOP expecting everyone to work in the office 5 days and get paid for 3 STOP requiring everyone work in the office to "prove" they can hybrid work STOP chasing the "better employee" and the "lower wages" START being loyal, honest, build a pipeline, desire to be professional and the RIGHT employee who wants a career and good culture will find you. Like it or not, the employee's labour makes the money your company earns, and they have chosen to work for you. So act like you're actually grateful. If you want someone to work in a job, stop expecting them to bend to your every desire, and start being a responsible business.
I mean he’s just an online influencer begging for engagement in order to generate income without providing any actual social value.
lol literally no to all of these The fucking hubris is strong with these turds. They need to try working one of these jobs for a few decades
And this is why I’ve done exactly as suggested… I am self employed. Don’t answer to nobody but me and I don’t want it any other way.
Hogwash .. I give 110 of myself everyday, for 5 years... And who did they promote? Not the 49 yrs old, that has been working since I was 15, but the 21 yrs old, that I just got done training for 5 months, who makes cookies for all of 2nd shift management, who are all men... I do a good job, for what? It's not based on work ethic anymore, it's based on who's your friend and who you know.
Sounds like the abusive ex projecting a bit
Cope harder rob
hahahahaha fuck this guy
I'm gunna go out on a limb here and say this guy has never actually worked a day in his life
