“I cleared bandwidth to lead a higher impact project”
No, don’t say that! Say “I hurkledurked the dooper bobble.” It means exactly the same thing (nothing,) but using the business jargon of the 2030s so you stay ahead of the trend.

Executive turned executive coach = They got fired and couldn't find a job, so now they say their a coach and try to scam people with useless advice.
Lol @ #4
That can quickly lead to “Why are you overstepping/ignoring your duties to go over management’s head? We have a chain of command you need to respect” then get you targeted and creatively fired.
You have to do any of these with a load more tact than the management wet dream infographic suggests
Like that really should be "be good at predicting your boss' wants so you can be proactive" or "start work immediately on new work, and talk about it; slack off later, first impressions are better than results"
#7 lol
Don’t say: “I quit”
why? Quitting demonstrates that you are not passionate about your role
Say: “I exist to serve the company”
Why does the illustrated woman on the list look like the stonks meme?
Don't say: "Please don't fuck me."
Say: "Sure , but get it in real deep and don't use lube."
There's a few weird bullet points in there (the fact that it tells you you shouldn't be happy to be where you're at being one 🙄), but, all in all, I wouldn't call qualify this as "LinkedIn lunacy" for once.
You have no business leading a team if you say things like "this is not my job" on the regular and deflect responsibility and lack direction more generally.
❌ Don't say: 'I don't want a promotion'.
❔Why: you do want to work more for a proportionally small salary increase.
✅ Say: 'I will be pleased to eat shit now both ways for a couple more dollars'.
I assure you, I am qualified to both eat shit and also to serve shit to my team, in quantities you could hardly fathom. I have my bib on and everything, we've streamlined the process so I eat the shit and spray it directly from my ass into the team's mouths, we've overcome process inefficiencies to deliver high impact fecal geysers, empowering the team's ability to onboard more fecal content into their own shit production.
It's a thing of fuckin' beauty, if you can get past the smell. Most don't, but they aren't the team players now, are they?
I work for an international company that locally clears 20-35 million year with 20 employees. They asked me to help them move hundreds of thousands of dollars in inventory in the warehouse while we switch buildings. I said, "That ain't me, dude."
Is hundreds of thousands of dollars of inventory a lot of inventory?
Depending on the nature of the inventory it could be anything between one machine to a full warehouse.
I feel we'd appreciate your comment better if we knew that, and what your normal role in the company is.
Irrespective of the amount of inventory, it's something you may damage while moving, making it your problem, when it's not even your job
Did it have a positive impact? Just curious.
1: Oh my God I'm such an idiot! All this time I've been doing my actual job when I should have ignored it in favour of doing stuff I'm not certified, qualified, or supposed to do! Right. Starting tomorrow, I'll only do stuff I'm not supposed to be doing. I'm sure to get a promotion now!
this is how you know she bullshits through life and %100 replaceable with an LLM
I can personally attest that managers don't appreciate #3. One time I came up with a way to stack twice as many sliced cheeses on a shelf at my old deli job. My boss insisted that I follow procedure, while acknowledging that my suggestion would be more efficient. They don't want you to think outside the box, even if it would benefit the company.
These institutions that mold people into psychopaths are how we decided to structure our society
Don't say: truth Instead say: lie
Also work yourself to death for our profits
Classic.
| . | A | B |

In our world there are two dichotomies.
A is aware of the flaws in the system. B is blind to it.
S says the self is the problem. W says the world is the problem.
This woman is from the shitty quadrant, aware that hiring and promotion are handled in bad ways, but then saying 'Oh, man, the boss is demanding sexual favors before he'll promote you? Wow, so, are you practising your deep throat technique with your dildo or are you really showing you want it by spending money on a sextrapreneur to practice on?' with the implication being absolutely nothing can be done other than just either becoming a lying sack of crap and pretending to support the bad behaviour or actually wholeheartedly supporting the bad behaviour.
Steph seems mentally disabled. Not the first PHD I've met who couldn't live outside a classroom.
Me, who is actively avoiding getting promoted to management: write that down, write that down!
Now that I think about it, it makes more sense to apply for promotion instead of asking for one. I don't think the companies I've been in do the old way of jerking off managers to get promotion. Or maybe I'm just lucky.
I think most are completely misunderstanding the point being made. None of these are changing the meaning of what is said, they are changing the verbiage.
Instead of saying “I don’t have time” you’re saying “I took on a more important task, so don’t have bandwidth to do the task you’re talking about”.
This isn’t “work more complain less” it’s “use business talk against them”.
For some I agree. But the response to the "I'm comfortable in my role" one I really dislike.
It should be fine to be satisfied with your position instead of having to eternally strife to a reach a higher step on the ladder. If that's what somebody really wants, it's ok and they should go for it. But for others that mindset will just end in a burnout and it should be applauded if they are able to recognise their limits. Work to live, not live to work.
Two quick points, the first is that this appears geared towards “getting a promotion” but even then, that text is kinda ambiguous. They aren’t saying “I want a new challenge” as in “give me a new role” it’s saying “I like where I am and can’t wait for a new challenge in my current role.”
Though you bring up a good point, a lot of these are worded kinda ambiguously.
I smell genAI in the text...
Not only she want people to use a pompus language to show off but her advice are bad. The number 3 is the only good one, given that you actually know how to improve the process and haven't simply made change to it to suit your taste or convenience. Number 4 may apply in some situation.
