Poor Robin, hope he gets better soon :(

I took the 18hr advice one (not exactly the hour aspect but the giving-your-all and more mindset) when I was first starting out in my career at 18. I am now barely 25 and not only burnt out, but seeing a therapist to figure out how to build a relationship with my family again

If a company falls apart when you're on vacation for 3 weeks then YOU should be the owner

21:01 Hank Green is such I kind nice and wholesome guy and I love him for that. A little bit ago he was diagnosed with cancer, but he wasn't worried. This is partially due to his cancer being one of the most treatable cancers to exist, but also due to his overall personality. He is just such a great guy and I wish him well.

I got a LinkedIn account because my community college professor told us it would be useful in getting connected with jobs or whatever. The moral of the story is that I have never used that shit even once. In the 8 years since I made it.

Zasha completely oblivious that most people can't just go out and buy a house. Also, she is suggesting the rent should be $500 more than the mortgage plus upkeep costs, or she's completely "forgetting" you have to maintain your rental properties.

5:15 "And did you get those suits from Etsy?" I'm sorry, Robin, but I have to report this murder to the police. 😂

Bro said he was sick and still decided to record a 30 minute voice over, Robin is awesome. He's just built different, man!

10:39 I'm pretty sure it's her way of describing Zoom meetings for school, if this Tweet was made before pandemic precautions were lifted.

"Competitive salary" just means you'll have to compete to get a salary.

I believe that putting in effort in a job is important, even just for your own self-respect, but whenever I see those “Work all day and give up everything for your career now and enjoy the benefits later” posts, all I can think of is the one guy I knew in real life who had that mentality (he wasn’t a douche who preached it to others, but it was clearly something he believed). Turns out he had inoperable cancer and tragically passed away at just 56, four years before his big retirement plans to travel Europe with his wife. He gave up so much and never even got to enjoy it. His was an especially bad case, but I’ve seen people throw away their families, health, and give up everything for their careers….I don’t think it’s ever been worth it

I love how rhese people are like "dOn'T yOu WaNt To Be RiCh SoMeDaY?!" No! I just want enought to live comfortably on! MAYBE enought to one day own a house and have a fmily!

Ahhh yes, the test to see if you'll allow the company to disrespect you for 11 hours. Such a good hiring criteria 🙄

26:29 I went and looked it up. _According to the Internet,_ that name, spelled that way, is commonly pronounced "shyan", "she-ahn", "see-ahn", "shawn", "sha(r)n", *or "shan".* If she bothered to follow her own advice and actually take a couple of minutes to look it up, she'd know that the Starbucks person was right and she arguably doesn't even know how her own name is pronounced. Arguably, if she wants the typical Welsh pronunciation, *she isn't even spelling the name right.* It should be "Siân" with a circumflex over the "a".

9:36 Don't you just love it when managers are okay with a work-life-balance only after they squeezed you out of your best years in life and you cannot do as much anymore in your free time in the 40s?

Best part about being sick is having the most EPIC voice for narrating! Get well soon! Also, if I ever meet Sian I'm calling him Sheen for the Gits and Shiggles.

If the company can't function without me for three weeks it better be my fucking company. Either that or you owe me a mf raise and a big one.

Poor Robin. Rest well, my favorite angry narrator

And here I thought LinkedIn was just an employment website (I’ve never used linked in) boy was I wrong. Its now I realize it’s more like if non political Twitter and Facebook made a website for ppl that are unemployed

Yes it is equal AND opposite... basically when you press on the table, the table presses back on you with an equal amount of pressure.

"Do you live alone?" stranger danger stranger danger STRANGER DANGER

Robin, thanks for powering through, I'm so sorry that you have to suffer though. Here's to hoping that you have universal healthcare . William, youve done an impeccable job of editing, as always. Thanks to everyone for bringing us joy. Although I'd love for Robin to do a load of wholesome subreddits at some point, just because he deserves to not have the stress levels that some of these subreddits bring on.

I got a coworker who refers to the gravly voice you get when you are ill as "sexy phlegm." Also, let me also add in this thought: I didn't put in "18 hour days" while *in fucking combat* in 2004.

You need to give poor robin a break damn

My former boss is absolutely incapable of posting anything in LinkedIn without a picture of his face shoehorned into the post.

22:12 This sounds like a good way to get yourself a restraining order and your company a lawsuit. Edit: and wouldn't ya believe it, this guy was fired by his company not long after making this post.

I'm glad my country has laws to protect us against that kind of BS... jesus christ this is terrifying

I saw the thumbnail and now I'm scared

Anyone else notice at 17:10 the guy calls himself an "undercover billionaire?" I'm guessing that means he's not a billionaire but wishes he was or, in LI terms, he "has the mindset of a billionaire" or something. If he's actually a billionaire, then he just doesn't know what "undercover" means.

I can't hear "Mac-in Tyre" without thinking of a burger just bouncing around inside a tyre like someone just shoved a burger in a dryer

i have never heard of this subreddit and i am very invested in it

10:42 LoL She's calling Zoom classes video meetings. They're just going to online school.

I recently started job hunting on LinkedIn. I applied for countless jobs and only got like two responses. One was an unpaid internship, the other paid a lot but ignored me when I said I couldn't interview that day. I said I wouldn't be able to interview in literally eight minutes, but the guy was just like, "ok here's how we'll do the interview." I bet he didn't even read my emails. Also, all his emails were written in Comic Sans. This was a fancy architecture company. I ended up just taking the unpaid internship. I have a paying part-time job anyway.

The funny thing about Sian, is spelling it like that would make it pronounced "shun". I have a friend with that name, and she _hates_ it when people spell it "Sian". It's "Siân", and the circumflex is what makes the vowel longer. If you butcher the spelling of your own name, you don't get to complain when people pronounce it phonetically.

18 hour workdays are obvious bs anyway, but please keep in mind the average person needs 8-10 hours sleep and the 18 hour day nets you 6 hours sleep maximum assuming you never eat and there is no commute. No friends, no family, no hobbies, no bathroom breaks, no exercise, nothing. Assuming everything takes one hour (meal prep/cooking, commute, exercise, hobbies, time with friends, etc) that's 2-3 hours meal time, 2 hour commute, 8 hour sleep, 1 hobby, 1 social, 1 exercise, 2 rest/self care, that's already 18 hours. That leaves 6 hours for work if time is 100% efficient. That is the maximum one can work being healthy. On top of that you're expected to have a side hustle to live? When people say there isn't enough time, it isn't about health not being achievable, it's about health not being achievable when time is monopolised in such a way

LinkedIn is the proof that success in this age comes from the ability to brag about urself, and not real talents

0:07 Robin goes full RE4 Merchant for a bit.

My cousin was trying not to cry when firing me. Knowing him it was real tears instead since he was being made to fire me since his boss didnt like me 🤣

I would like to remind people that Recruiters only need to be right once to hire someone, and that a broken clock is right twice a day. We get to see the crazy times where the clock reads 1:30 while eating dinner.

As someone who is currently in bed fighting a sinus infection, im right there with you Robin

The moan at the beginning caught me off guard ngl Edit: I guess it was more of a grunt

20:40 - this actually happened in a non profit I used to work for. I was paid because they did have other avenues of income, they wanted to do full on E- commerce but didn't want to pay for super experienced people. They wanted to rely on volunteers. In the end it ended up with a team of 2, I got burned out and had to take leave because my mental health was shot to bits after my boss left and they hadn't bothered hiring a new project lead so I was soloing a post-christmad backlog. Yeah they eventually got some people to work on it and were then complaining how far behind they still were after the few months I was away. And I was like 'yeah no shit, why do you think I had a nervous breakdown'. So yeah.... I was literally holding that together until they had to axe the project. Too much feet dragging over decisions higher up, a corrupt head of retail that last I heard was being investigated for some illegal activity, he kinda got the last word having made me redundant, but there he did lose out on a sizeable pension by 'taking early retirement'. It's not fun being the one person holding things together. Likely that one person is never paid enough for what they do.

Hope you feel better soon Robin take a good rest 👍

Dude, I haven't seen a shirt like that since 1990! I miss those wacky patterns and bright colors. :)

Missed opportunity not calling them LinkedInfluencers

Feel better, Robin. Working while sick is not fun.

22:15 It is "and." Trent may know Newton's Third Law, but he still needs to work on why stalking and harassment are bad things.

9:47 rona-dhona is a phrase that means 'crying about something unimportant' or something like that. Judging by the poster's name, it's a phrase from their native language. My mother uses it all the time whenever my sister complains that she's bored. ("Apna rona-dhona band karo")

Seriously, let Lexi take over for a while

Yesss, yet another subreddit I can go and enjoy. Thanks!

Hope robin gets better soon, he deserves a break.

25:09 If I show up to a place for a job-interview at 7 AM and at 7:30 AM, the interview hasn't started, I will leave after about half an hour of yelling at whoever happens to be close by for wasting my time and making me get up in the morning for no fucking reason

9:47 Rona-dhona is a hindi phrase that in this context means to whinge. Literally it means 'to wash with tears'. We like making rhyming/whyming phrases.

Video 4 of asking all narrators, Slazo and Kenny to narrate in one single video

The interviewer being the dog threw me for a loop and a giggle fit and a half.

9:30 Assuming that your commute to work is 30 minutes to and from, that’s 5 hours Now also assume that it takes you 30 minutes to get ready in the mornings and at night, now that’s four hours. That’s not safe. You would have to literally live AT your job to safely work an 18 hour day

It's "equal and opposite." You push the wall, the wall is pushing back against your hand with the same force.

Dawg, give Robin PTO. Let him get better in peace. He's earned a break.

The second grader is probably doing online class, back in quarantine i had to have a video meeting for every. Single. Class. And god it was the most frustrating thing ever

15:26 I think Robin's about to teach Bloomberg how to fear run

22:00 Oh man - what a massive fringe. Let's hope Qualtrics don't find his post preaching breaching.

The LaSalle Network guy and his petty attitude kinda confirms a lot of the negative reviews on Glassdoor. “Outdated Business models that doesn’t work” and “overworked with low pay” are the most common negative reviews “How dare they review this place negatively!!??” and “YOU GOTTA LIVE FOR THE GRIND BRUH” is basically most of the positive reviews

It honestly sounds like LinkedIn is becoming a twt for hustle bros from tiktok lmao.

Get well soon, Robin. Also, that shirt is more 90s than a Hit Clips belting out the OG "Space Jam!" theme and I absolutely love the heck out of it.

As someone who uses LinkedIn actively at work (recruitment) it always tempts me to either take screenshot of all the insane things i see, or start posting insane things myself just to see how much i could get away with

The irony is that I know someone named Sian…who pronounces is ‘Sigh-ann’ so it’s not even like it’s a standard spelling for that name

I think I only started a LinkedIn account because when I had my contract terminated unfairly by my last job and was trying to apply for a position with the Coca-Cola company, they wouldn't take any applications that were not through LinkedIn oddly enough... completely forgot this thing exists half the time.

I'm not too sad anymore regarding watching lots of vids on KZfaq when I see what's going on at LinkedIn. Thanks Robin.

10:45 This is probably an old post from during online learning, Robin.

When I introduce myself, people repeat my name back incorrectly. Like, they are far off. So when I correct them, they look at me all confused like "That's what I said"

I'm new to job hunting and got my first "you're hired, we'll call with your start day" and no call and ten days later finding out that they chose someone else. Mmmm, chasing fast food jobs, lovely (note my sarcasm)

LinkedinLunatics... that's a new one lol

Hard to see, like 40% of these dudes being Indian... The job market and unemployment is soo screwed up here

Robin's right about the name pronunciation. My name is pronounced rather differently from how it's written, because my mother liked the spelling of one, but hated how it sounded. So she took the pronunciation of another, which she hated the spelling off. It's a fun thing to try to explain to people, so I just go by my middle name, which is "normal".

15:08 "As a candidate, I do feel like it's disrespectful to interview multiple candidates at the same time. If your interest is purely finding a slave and not paying people fairly, then you should be upfront about that. A lot of candidates want companies that are recruiting to find employees, not just slaves. Agree?"

What the Saved By the Bell?? Nice. Heh. I wasn't prepared for your shirt, Robin. That's great.

F in the chat for Robin😔 But fr get better soon man

What bugs me the most are the posts that use their children for clout, especially the ones with actual pictures of their children. It isn't Facebook and it certainly isn't immune to creeps.

The one where the Boss and the HR manager are talking about "it costs less to keep staff than replace them." reminds me of a lot of companies today who are just taking anyone who has worked for the company past a certain amount of time and firing them since they are paid the most. Also, advertising and training to fill that position, if they choose to fill it? Nah, print up a now hiring sign and tape it to the front window. Problem solved. No need to pay people any more. This is why companies like Best Buy are doomed.

Feel better soon, Robin! ❤

Those are business owners that want you to work for them non stop and hate to accommodate for family stuff 😂🤷💯

On my sigma grind set, watching this video while working... on finishing a nice jigsaw puzzle

some middle manager in linkedin: "i dont usually share personal stuff but..." good, keep it that way; you have survived this far without sharing personal crap and you dont need to fix something that isnt broken. not to mention you are a middle manager, there is no depth to your personality beyond posts like that.

22:20 I'm pretty it IS actually "equal & opposite reaction" . "or" doesn't really make sense in that context.

my favorite part of linkedin is how you need an account to read anything on the site, which i do not have

20:30 A previous employment contract I had forced me to take atleast 2 continious weeks off per year for that exact reason.

I have one of those names that get butchered constantly. I get grumpy when it's in my email, signature, and what not and people still can't take the time to spell it right. 😂

I’m loving Robins Dad shirt. It really fits him.

Emkay Time

20:46 AUTOMOBILES, SON. THEY LIFT HEAVY LOADS IN RESPONSE TO PULLING OF THE LEVERS. YOU CAN'T OUT-LIFT ME, JACK.

Linkedin is one of the circles of hell specifically the 4th one

all praise the EmKay gods.

He had a video, became sick and recorded a new video, then they uploaded a third where he wasn’t sick, and now this is a fourth, newer one where he’s sick again

This video gave me depression. And i currently have a job that does have some pto. I cant imagine how others feel watching it tbh. I hate the work situation right now.

at 19:15 the last line of the post reads "and you can't even make a PPT (powerpoint) on time"

6:38 now karma probably got that person since it all over the internet now lol

is not a test of patience is a test on how much disrespect and shit you willtake for money, how desperate you are and lower your boundaries

18:52 Yeah personally I agree her for a different reason, a wedding feels like a very special, very solemn celebration that should really only be between you, the person you have chosen to die with you love them so much, and (optionally) a relevant priest/officiant for whatever religions the two of you may believe in.

That 18 hrs a day post saying that spending time with family is important but "not that early?" My immediate thought is so what happens when your beloved family member dies unexpectedly and you lost your chance to spend any time with them because it was "too early" to be important? Gonna regret that one for the rest of your life.
