          I don’t really understand work social media groups/websites. I worked at a KFC for a while, and we had this weird Microsoft Facebook knockoff called yapper, there were occasional manager rants specific to our store and congratulations posts, but company wide was just weird. Mostly just memes and people begging for krushers back

              Oh, Yammer, that’s the one. I never really used it much either, I don’t think I can get behind sending memes on a company platform monitored by your manager, fully tied to your actual identity. I had to use it for store news and such. I did some deep digging, sure hope they couldn’t see that. I went back years out of boredom and curiosity and found some juicy arguments. Seriously, who’s arguing with people over inconsequential things on a work social media??

                I know, right? That can only end one of two ways: HR gets pissed or nobody cares. There’s no positives here. Your manager won’t promote you because you posted something insightful or funny, they care about numbers and how much they like you in person.

                So yeah, I really don’t understand who that’s for.

                  It has 2 good uses:

                  1. Sharing knowledge without being limited to the boundaries of teams and departments.
                  2. A social network around a topic (such as posting photos of your pets) that anyone in the organization can join.

    When people tell you there’s only 24 hours in a day, work 48 hours in a day instead.

    I accidentally opened linkedin the other day. Holy shit what a bunch of trash. It used to be a business networking site. Now it’s just a shitty Facebook clone. My time line was full of memes and dumb shit. It was also full of people I don’t even know.

    I only used LinkedIn in de past to give other people I worked with recommends. It was always appreciated. Now I think I will delete my account.

    Work for your dad.

    He’s got a $250M/year widget fabrication business and half of that is government contracts he landed thanks to his brother who is a US Congressman. You can get paid six figures in a do-nothing middle management job and use all that free time to run for City Council or just cheat on your spouse with high end call girls.
