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
Well done for taking time for yourself. Sucks you had to suffer so much first, but it sounds like you're taking good steps. Keep it up! x

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.
I got one because my boss said it would be useful. I don't think I've logged into it once since I made it.
What do you upto now
I hate the whole "professional social media" thing, but I don't know how else to track job openings without greatly limiting my options
I have a LinkedIn account and find it very useful. Not for finding actual jobs or networking or anything, but it's a good gauge on how insane your company is. As in, the more active the employees are on LinkedIn, the less stable and sane your job is going to be.
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.
A treatable cancer in someone with a lot of money and access? Yeah I wouldn't worry much either.

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.
I couldn't help thinking pyramid scheme while listening to that. I know it's not, but this is pyramid scheme-style thinking.
oh, she's absolutely the sort of landlord who never fixes shit and then complains when the tenants stop paying rent cause it's unlivable.
Zasha has a poor understanding of how that works.
Well, buy-to-rent mortgages often just charge the interest while letting the original loan sit there until the contract term ends, and then you pay off the full sum. The idea being that as long as you have the initial 25%-or-so deposit, you can just get good income from the get go, and just sell the house at the end as long as the property value didn't fall since then. (Which, considering the timescale of mortgages, is not too likely as long as the house is taken care of)
That said, still crazy to think most people can just buy themselves a house every year.
For a property to leave you with a net monthly profit of $500, at least where I'm at, the property needs to be 100sqm/1100sqft of high quality living space, which goes for about $300.000 to $400.000. So her advice is basically 'Just spend 350k a year lol' Or she's trying for a 10-20% down mortgage, which a bank isn't just going to grant you without good evidence of stable income. Even if you can somehow find a bank that ignores all safeguards, after 6 years you "own" 420k worth of real estate with a debt to the bank of nearly 1.7m. All this to make a profit of $30k/y from renters? Even if one could, I'm not sure one should. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure landlords can make quite good money, but you kind of need to start with either a high paying job or family money to just start spending 350k a year on real estate, Hell, even to spend 70K a year for 20% down high risk mortgage you need those things. I think she's semi-detached (get it? Real estate pun!) from reality.

I'm pretty sure it's her way of describing Zoom meetings for school, if this Tweet was made before pandemic precautions were lifted.
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
Oh god. That's so horrible
"Competitive salary" just means you'll have to compete to get a salary.
Which is not a lot of people, isn’t it
Ahhh yes, the test to see if you'll allow the company to disrespect you for 11 hours. Such a good hiring criteria 🙄
yeah, it's important for them to only hire people incapable of seeing their human worth and standing up for themselves... and walking out of the interview room. seriously. respect is earned. you don't treat my time with respect, I'll do the same for you. anyone who behaves this way deserves to only hire workers who come in an hour late daily.
I would never wait anything close to that long for a job interview, and I hope my son would have a healthy enough self esteem and never have the desperation that he wouldn't either.
If a company can't even keep its hiring schedule, you wouldn't want to work there even if it wasn't deliberate. If that story were true (it isn't, I'm sure), it would only mean that those last two people were _incredibly_ desperate for a job. Hiring people like that is the sort of thing that would lead to having managers who think desperation makes for good workers.
I give them 15 minutes. If I'm not having an interview 15 minutes after I was supposed to, I will leave and go home. And if they made me get up for it, I will yell at whatever employee is closest for about half an hour before leaving, though I would prefer to yell at someone who was actually at fault for whatever fuck-up has happened
@@lucykitsune4619 Don't be yelling at anyone. That just makes you look crazy, and they would think bullet dodged.
There's a way to get a point across without turning into a crazy yelly Karen.
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".
People with bad attitudes are rarely people who use logic or follow their own advice
I'm like 98% sure her name is pronounced "care-in."
Sian = pig's/of pig in Finnish
Also the same name can be pronounced in different ways in different languages. For example "Joanna" in English and "Joanna" in polish. Two completely different ways to pronounce "j", but spelling is the same.
You really put effort googling THAT.? Why?
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.
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?
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.
Poor Robin.
Rest well, my favorite angry narrator
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.
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
It basically is just Facebook for grindset people, rich dudes who want to flex and people who just want a goddamn job.
Same. I thought you just posted your CV there and idk companies looking for qualities you fulfill would find you there and DM you or something.
I never made a LinkedIn profile, yet had multiple coworkers at my last job send me friend requests via my work email. I knew then that I would never even visit that site.
@@Bacteriophagebs I made the mistake of signing up for an account "for job hunting" when I was 20. Worst mistake ever, to this day I still get emails from them despite deleting my account AND doing the email equivalent of the National Do Not Call Registry on them.
Oh the politics are still there. Some people just can't help themselves regardless of how inappropriate it is.
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.
call him Seen lol

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.
My former boss is absolutely incapable of posting anything in LinkedIn without a picture of his face shoehorned into the post.
I saw the thumbnail and now I'm scared
I was like:
Ah yes, a normal day in the good old probably USA
Forklift dance?
….You get use to it.
I love illegally selling forklifts :)

You need to give poor robin a break damn
Robin literally said in the video that he was only recording this cus he had nothing better to do, not because he's being forced
I'm glad my country has laws to protect us against that kind of BS... jesus christ this is terrifying
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.
i have never heard of this subreddit and i am very invested in it
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
10:42 LoL She's calling Zoom classes video meetings. They're just going to online school.
LinkedIn is the proof that success in this age comes from the ability to brag about urself, and not real talents
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
time to set up a nutrient IV over nights I guess, sigma grindset or whatever /s
@@comradewindowsill4253 honestly yeah these "sigma grindset" people genuinely scare me
Dude, I haven't seen a shirt like that since 1990! I miss those wacky patterns and bright colors. :)
The moan at the beginning caught me off guard ngl

Hope you feel better soon Robin take a good rest 👍
As someone who is currently in bed fighting a sinus infection, im right there with you Robin
How dare you be in bed? Use this sinus infection as an opportunity to grind even harder and further your experience
Missed opportunity not calling them LinkedInfluencers
Feel better, Robin. Working while sick is not fun.
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.
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 🤣
imagine if his boss was crying too tho
like all the condescension aside itd be so fuckin funny
Video 4 of asking all narrators, Slazo and Kenny to narrate in one single video
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.

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")
I was about to ask which language you're talking about, but I read the blurb under their profile and it says Bombay (or Mumbai)
Hope robin gets better soon, he deserves a break.
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.
Seriously, let Lexi take over for a while
The interviewer being the dog threw me for a loop and a giggle fit and a half.
Yesss, yet another subreddit I can go and enjoy. Thanks!
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
That isn't a display of patience. It's a display of desperation. Guess they wanted to hire the easiest to manipulate.
It's "equal and opposite." You push the wall, the wall is pushing back against your hand with the same force.
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
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.
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
10:45 This is probably an old post from during online learning, Robin.
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
It honestly sounds like LinkedIn is becoming a twt for hustle bros from tiktok lmao.
Dawg, give Robin PTO. Let him get better in peace. He's earned a break.
Hard to see, like 40% of these dudes being Indian... The job market and unemployment is soo screwed up here
I'm not too sad anymore regarding watching lots of vids on CZcams when I see what's going on at LinkedIn. Thanks Robin.
22:00 Oh man - what a massive fringe. Let's hope Qualtrics don't find his post preaching breaching.
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
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)
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".
Years ago a coworker had a quirky spelling and pronunciation of her name. She started going off on the new employee for not getting it right . So I'm like..why you getting mad at her , yo mama named you that .
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"
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
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.
What the Saved By the Bell?? Nice. Heh. I wasn't prepared for your shirt, Robin. That's great.
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.
15:26 I think Robin's about to teach Bloomberg how to fear

F in the chat for Robin😔 But fr get better soon man
Those are business owners that want you to work for them non stop and hate to accommodate for family stuff 😂🤷💯
Feel better soon, Robin! ❤
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
maybe the not sick video just took longer to edit
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.
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?"
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.
yeah and these are the same 'people' that complain about how young people are refusing to have babies in their 20s...
On my sigma grind set, watching this video while working... on finishing a nice jigsaw puzzle
my favorite part of linkedin is how you need an account to read anything on the site, which i do not have
But was he certified?
22:20
I'm pretty it IS actually "equal & opposite reaction" . "or" doesn't really make sense in that context.
yeah, equal in magnitude, opposite in direction. you push on something and it pushes back at you just as hard, that's why your hand doesn't phase through it like you're Kitty Pryde.
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.
LinkedinLunatics... that's a new one lol
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. 😂
Linkedin is one of the circles of hell specifically the 4th one
legit though, your twenties are supposed to be the best years of your adult life, I'm living my twenties to the fullest, experiencing everything I want to experience so I'm not forced to do it when I'm old and less able to. I've decided to live my life doing what I want to than forcing myself to work a gruelling 9-5 that I hate until I'm 67.
The people of LinkedIn is....something else I think lol.
Hope you get well soon Robin!
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
“imagine calling yourself a Linkedin Influencer”
yeah, I mean, LinkedInfluencer is right there!
I’m loving Robins Dad shirt. It really fits him.
As someone who worked their 20s away like i did? Don't. The money wasnt worth it, its all gone due to increasing prices of well everything and i have no motivation to do anything about it.
ROBIN TAKE A BREAK PLEASE
I feel like the guy celebrating his first sale is the only one using linkedin as it should be used
