    Effort does not require effort

    This has got to be satire

    Things that don't require effort:

    Not putting up passive aggressive signs in the office about how you wish your coworkers would do your work for you.

    They don't have the ability to conceptualize reality without a clear and distinct hierarchy:

    Rules for Me

    vs

    Rules for Thee

    ... in other words, a large chunk of their brain is just actually stuck at narcissistic toddler level, who hasn't fully grasped that... other people are in fact people, like themself.

    This is ironic right? Because literally the word "Effort" is an item in the list. I think this is a woosh

    Woah Woah Woah now, you wouldn't want anyone to misidentify you as a socialist soya boy terrorist would you? Cause a real patriot doesn't complain and will refuse to take any bonus or time off. A real patriot pulls down their pants when their asked to bend over. /S

    One of my bosses posted, "Teamwork makes the dream work."

    I wanted to ask "Whose dream?", but I needed the job.

    "Oh, we're all in this together, we're a TEAM! Yes, it's my dream, and I take far more personal profit out of this company than any of you, but we all work for the same goal! I mean, we all have bills to pay. Yes, my bill is the mortgage on my 8000 sq. ft. McMansion, and my ski boat, and your bill is food, and a car payment, but really, we're all the same here, just trying to get along in life. Right!?"

    Fuck you, JOHnaTHaN.

    That's pretty fucked up. I always thought of "Teamwork makes the dream work" as something two people working together might say to each other once they finished a task more easily than they could have alone. A boss saying that to an employee is definitely saying "we (management) have a dream that you should turn into a reality for us".

    Motivational posters are the worst. I've never worked at a place that had them that didn't have their head up their asses.

    Want to motivate me? Give me good wages, lots of vacation and keep the shitheads out of the company. Current place puts a premium on culture fit, anyone can interview, if any single person is uncomfortable, they're a no-go. We've had some solid talent booted out the door because they couldn't stop from being as ass for a couple hours.

    ...and this is what happens when you write bullshit without effort.

    Seriously, an LLM could have done a better job than whoever wrote this.

    I feel like whoever scrawled on the picture in pen missed the joke? One of the items of things that don't require effort is literally effort. Another is doing extra. Surely it's a piss take?

    But if you did all those thing, people would say that you're putting forth a good effort, soo....

    I have seen this exact list posted under the title "things that don't require talent" so it was probably a typo that got overlooked.

    "If that's true you should be able to prove it by doing thrice as much of everything on the list you wrote with no issue."
