How does one effort without effort?

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 65 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

By being effortless. >.>

It’s definitely maple beans.

Be neurotypical and be privileged enough to not have any (mental) health issues

Effort does not require effort

This has got to be satire

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm leaning towards satire or AI generated. Could be either.

What does the writer think "extra" means?

[-] Bonifratz@piefed.zip 81 points 2 weeks ago

What does the writer think "effort" means? What does the writer think anything means?

[-] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 2 weeks ago

Not sure. Clearly there's no effort being dedicated towards rational thought

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

Management by ai would count

[-] kubica@fedia.io 9 points 2 weeks ago

It is free speech -- the author probably

[-] TheEntity@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

I just love this kind of reasoning. Some people really think that it's okay if "it's not literally illegal for me to say this" is the best argument they can come up with.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 weeks ago

unpaid overtime probably

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 63 points 2 weeks ago

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.

things that don't require effort:

  • ...

  • effort
[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

The alternative (Effort prerequisite: Effort) is also dubious. Perhaps it's not a dichotomy.

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

  • Bonus pay
  • Allowing time off
  • Not making the workplace toxic
[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

Throw in remote work. No one needs to be in an office to do paperwork.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

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".

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Jrockwar@feddit.uk 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

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

10 THINGS YOU CAN SAY TO YOUR EMPLOYEES TO DEMEAN THEM AND SNEAKILY ENCOURAGE THEM TO EMBRACE YOUR WAGE THEFT.

At least "zero talent" makes more sense.

I'm so glad I don't work in an office environment any more

[-] webp@mander.xyz 16 points 2 weeks ago

"doing extra" I wonder who is fooled by this sign

[-] public_image_ltd@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Isn’t this what is called ableism?

[-] arin@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

This is corporate fuck you wageslaves culture

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

Effort doesn’t require effort. It’s not the same word at all.

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 14 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

is this..."is this" butterfly meme, no text

an effortpost?

(no)

[-] oftenawake@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It wouldn't have required much effort to determine that effort does in fact require effort.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

Or doesn’t even make an acronym

That’s just lazy

[-] credo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Okay let’s fix this list:

  • ….

I can’t think of anything.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Of course not, that would require effort! 😉

[-] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

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?

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.

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

they didn't specific good before attitude

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 6 points 2 weeks ago

"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."

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Best I can do is 3x the attitude and body language.
