Who knows when the seeking human mind will find an insight so useful that they can actually share silly everyday things.

Who needs to sit still and meditate about cosmic revelation when all people have is stress at work& deadlines to meet 24hrs7days a week365of the year& it(the swirling sequence) repeats every decade or two. The cosmic reality may be.., is too slow for the human mind that needs to pay for food water shelter for oneself& family needs. Or the clock changed to digital& people don’t look at sunrise& sunset, but the ring on their machines in the palm of their hands….

😂😂 This post deserves its own LinkedIn award for "Most Accurate Breakdown of Corporate Cringe"!

Honestly, Sunil and Pooja need to take a moment of silence for their broccoli and samosa struggles—true martyrs in the world of overanalysis. And let’s not even start on the hashtag explosion. #HashtagDetox, anyone?

But let’s be real—no matter how much we roll our eyes, we’re all guilty of reading (and maybe even writing 👀) a dramatic post or two. Next up: “How waiting for my Zomato order taught me patience, resilience, and the art of letting go.”

Absolute gold! Now, excuse me while I go craft my own “10 Lessons I Learned from Watching My Phone Battery Drop to 1%.” 😆🔥

Meanwhile, my curiosity overpowers decency - how do you manage to get such topics for your write ups so engaging as such.

haha. glad you liked it and well we are indeed guilty of taking part / promoting such posts.

and how I come up with such topics? I think every topic can be made funny if humor has been your defense mechanism and self deprecating humor is your go to language. This is what decades long hard work in making everything funny looks like😂 (would not recommend though)

true. at times self deprecating humour boomerangs as it happened in my case on fewer instances and i stopped being humorous with all. just restricted to a few circle.

I still wonder how can people learn 10 things from a random life moment!

I can’t even come up with 3 out of a major event. 🧐

I tried so hard to stick with the platform because it brought me clients but the cringe-fest with a dash of pressure to 'make it' in career was too much! I just got back on that platform yesterday after an year, now I have a whole new outlook, thanks to you!!

LinkedIn is now just another social media platform, so you can relax and focus on who you are and what you work on. And, I am so glad that I could help you (though in a totally different way!)😅

The life lessons are the worst! LI is truly a cringe-fest at times! Though guilty of posting there :P Happy that my posts wouldn't fall under the categories you mentioned :P

Abhishek Singh's avatar

Hahahaha. I'll check your posts and see if it fits in any of these categories. Also, why are you underestimating your posts? Maybe there'll be one more category.😂

Megha's avatar

Maybe. Can add - trying corporate humour as a category - my LI would fit right in :D

Earlier we were told that it's a "professional platform". Posting selfies aren't good. But people, they post selfie, any selfie and write a motivational para or lessons they learnt. And I try to related their selfies and long para- totally unrelated 🤣.

Another thing - out of nowhere everyone is just happy and grateful eachtime. I wish they were so in real life too. 😂

Abhishek Singh's avatar

hahahhaha.

arre yar kya yaad dila diya.

I now find no difference in caption of photos on Instagram and that on LinkedIn - both are unrelated to the photo😂

And gratefulness is as fictional as Shaktiman!

This is hilarious and so on point. Great post!

You mentioned the humblebrag. Those posts are the worst. How do folks except anyone will belive they are 'humbled to have been nominated' for an award everyone knows they paid to recieve!? Crazy .

my boss is a LC (linkedin celebrity) and I open LCs - letter of credits, combining these two LCs how can I make a post out of it guru ji? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 can I add captions with my linkedin posts - like #bossineedpayraise or #whattheinflation or #nopoliticsatofficeonlypoliticaldiscussions?

Maata I learned a new things from you - LC. 😇

But maybe you can take the above two LCs and create a third LC - Lazy Content. Would that work?😂

but if you do publish an article on procrastination, is it really true to its name? 😛

Wait, are you telling me that buying groceries for the week isn’t a life lesson worth sharing with my colleagues?

Recently, I have been enjoying the ChatGPT generated responses to these posts. From the very first word, it’s obvious that not a single ounce of brain cell was used while typing the comment.

Abhishek Singh's avatar

sorry to burst your bubble Tapan but that isn't worth sharing. And now I feel bad now for revealing it to you. 😂

And when they didn't think before posting, using ChatGPT is fair 😂

my favourite: '10 things I learned while brushing my teeth today morning' - I seriously don't get it that how people get some 3K to 4K likes on such posts 🤣🤣
