LinkedIn Rule #76:

Always post something that potential employers will want to hear; especially when it helps keep underpaid employees complacent.

I mean I love where I work now but if I get an offer for a significant amount more then I am making now then I might have to jump ship just like a lot of people here cause bills still have to be paid lol

Very much agree actually.

I see where the poster is coming from. A good work environment goes a long way but if I’m getting offers for nearly double my current salary I’m gone.

I took a job paying less for better WLB and I still have problems. It’s just that they stem from having less money as opposed to less time.

yeah but how you know the new job would be toxic, maybe it is great + more pay

Someone should tell Elvi that happiness isn’t a legal form of tender so it unfortunately doesn’t pay the bills no matter how bad we want it to

Right because your work environment never turns unpleasant.

like

A higher paying job can offset a work environment somewhat. What you need to have is a good balance of both to be successful, but if you want to get down to brass tacks, then what ultimately matters is how much you get paid, because that's what allows you to pay your bills and survive, and fund your hobbies.

I agree with that sentiment as learned from personal experience. The stress of a poor working environment affects your health, in turn impacts your happiness, and in turn impacts your life.

lack of positive work environment sooner or later leads to burnout and therefore may keep you
out of work ie no income at all

Nice work, if you can get it.

Stay in low paying jobs and be happy. Na bruh

Does anyone else feel that the more content someone puts in their LinkedIn headline, the more full of it they are? I say this as someone with a bunch of stuff lol but at least it’s all at one company and accurate.

I’m talking mostly about two kinds of people. 1. The influencer who is actually unemployed, but lists 25 BS things they do
2. The brand collector, who writes “ex-“ for every former company they worked at and school they went to. Maybe less full of it but still insufferable.
