    “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.

        A lot of these examples also seem to require you to function differently, or to lie about what you’ve been doing.

        It doesn’t make you look better if you’re shirking your own work to work on stuff other people want you to do. “Clearing bandwidth for the important task” is a fancy way of saying you’re making someone else do your work so you can work on something that someone else considers a higher priority.

        Seen that bite helpers in the ass more than once.

      It kind of sounds like they’re advising you to ditch responsibilities that you don’t think matter in favor of more important-seeming ones, which is the kind of fucked up ladder climbing and damn the consequences that puts sociopaths in most of the positions of power in the world.

    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”

    Don’t say: “I quit”

    why? Quitting demonstrates that you are not passionate about your role

    Say: “I exist to serve the company”

    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.”

    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!

    cool, I guess I will switch back to trading shitcoins if this is what everyone expects because I am definitely not cut to jerk off a manager providing infinitely less value than me
