Who's a Severence fan here? Lumon Industries from the show is on LinkedIn. Watch people who have no idea that this is a fictional company applying to jobs here :D. Can you believe the show is using LinkedIn as part of its marketing? LinkedIn really has morphed from what it started out as.

I would say this is clever, not cringe.

It’s standard practice now to bring fictional shows into the real-word socialsphere. Nothing “clever” or revolutionary about it. It’s free marketing.

LinkedIn is a dystopian site full of toxic positivity anyway anyway so this fits perfectly.

It does say it’s fictional.

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
