Here Are 30 Memes About the Cringy Side of LinkedIn and Their Posts, as Posted by This Facebook Group

It started the way so many weird internet stories start, with a screenshot, a laugh, and someone saying, “This is so painfully LinkedIn.” A Facebook group built around “LinkedIn-related cringeposting” has now ballooned to nearly 50k members, and every day it churns out memes that feel like they were pulled straight from the corporate group chat of your nightmares.

The posts are pure work-life cringe fuel, from “Check out this equation” energy to “Definitely a huge no” moments, plus the all-time classics like “Explaining the gap in your resume” and “Replacing management with ChatGPT.” People don’t just scroll, they vent, they roast, and they compare notes on trying to “afford a house,” “elevate your circle,” and survive the “upper management behavior” pipeline. And Victoria Zhong, one of the people behind the group vibe, says there’s no grand mission, it’s just humor for frustrations about work or finding work.

Still, the most interesting part is what did not happen, Victoria can’t recall a single moment where the memes sparked a real argument.

That’s what makes the “Calculate that with the working hours” meme hit harder than you’d expect, it’s basically a complaint dressed up as math.

"LinkedIn-related cringeposting" is the description of the group, which now has close to 50k members. Victoria Zhong had this to say about whether this sizable community is connected by any mission:

“There’s no real mission for the group. It's just a place where people can use humor to discuss or vent about the frustrations they have regarding work or finding work.”

Even the “Larping her with full pay and benefits” and “Rich people taste like pork” ones keep things playful, no matter how spicy the captions get.

The postings on "LinkedIn Memes for Go-Getter Teens" are produced daily, thanks to the site's numerous active contributors. When Victoria was asked if she could recall any instances in which the memes posted in the group had sparked interesting discussions or disputes among the participants, Zhong quickly stated that she did not have any.

The memes are chaotic enough to start a fight, yet somehow they mostly just keep everyone laughing.
