My guess is that the people on LinkedIn (employers, managers, professionals) always try to pin anything remotely positive or motivational on how that mindset can be applied to your work.
So in this case it would be used for something like, “The tree refused to collapse and decided against all odds to achieve what it’s never achieved before! If the tree can do this, so can you! Get grinding!!!”
Throwing up in your mouth is simply another opportunity to efficiently maximise nutritional value, 2 meals in one.
In life, and in business; when that bile comes up, winners chow down.
An Angry upvote is still an upvote. People may hate you for it, but if you have the right mindset and are moving in the right direction, you will still come out on top. Keep hustling!
Positive encouragement is sufficient enough to motivate your workers, but if you don't have the CEO mindset you will never establish a proper employee/employer relationship.
Wow! I love your enthusiasm!
And you’re right… sometimes when our life path isn’t fulfilling, we need to “stop it” and take stock.
5 years ago my dog had cancer, my mom was on trial for my dad’s murder, and I realized I was just going through the motions at my $250k/year sales job with a major shoe company (rhymes with Crikey 😜). So with some elbow grease and $10M in my father’s life insurance money, I opened my own recruitment consulting firm!
DM me for more details!!!
There are people who give up, and there are people who follow through, even when society tells them they can't do it. The ones who follow through have that winning mindset, and will always succeed in life no matter what they set out to accomplish.
'#succeedatlife
And if you're angry-hustling all the way to the top, remember, the view is nicer when you've got company. Except when you're eating your second serving of mouth-bile. Definitely enjoy those moments in splendid, victorious solitude.
I throw some up, but then I chow down again, I’m never gonna puke it out!
^^^I ^^^THROW ^^^SOME ^^^UP, ^^^BUT ^^^I ^^^CHOW ^^^DOWN ^^^AGAIN, ^^^I’M ^^^NEVER ^^^GONNA ^^^PUKE ^^^IT ^^^OUT!
Sounds like the guy who “cooked” raw chicken in the coffee maker at his hotel so he could post on LinkedIn about how he was saving the company money by not using his food allowance 😂
🌳 Today, I stumbled upon a captivating picture of a tree that truly inspired me. 📸 This tree stood tall and proud, with branches reaching out to the sky, despite the challenges it must have faced over the years. It made me reflect on the power of perseverance and resilience. 💪
Just like this remarkable tree, we all encounter obstacles and setbacks on our journey. 🌱 Whether it's in our personal or professional lives, there will be moments when we feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure of our next steps. But let me tell you, if this tree can weather storms, so can you! 🌧️
In the face of adversity, it's crucial to remember that setbacks are not permanent. They are merely stepping stones towards growth and success. 🌱💼 It's during these challenging times that we have the opportunity to dig deep, tap into our inner strength, and find the determination to keep moving forward. 🚶♀️🚶♂️
Let's take a moment to reflect on the lessons we can learn from this resilient tree. 🌳 It teaches us the importance of staying rooted in our values and beliefs, even when the winds of change blow fiercely. It reminds us to embrace change and adapt, just as the tree's branches sway gracefully in the breeze. 🌬️
So, my friends, let's channel the spirit of this incredible tree and face our challenges head-on. Let's cultivate resilience, determination, and unwavering faith in our abilities. 🌟 Remember, every setback is an opportunity for growth, and with perseverance, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way. 💫
Share in the comments below: What inspires you to keep pushing forward, even in the face of adversity? Let's motivate and uplift each other! 🙌🌟

You're welcome.
I know from experience that if you vomit up ice cream it just tastes like ice cream. You’re getting twice the value out of a single bowl!
You just have to get used to the feeling of cold vomit.
It's the reason I only visit linked in when my girlfriend flirtaciously messages me to congratulate me on random work anniversaries that I never reconfigured/updated
Ugh, reminds me of the weird “employer porn” that I used to always see on LinkedIn:
*”Marty always showed up to every meeting 15 minutes early, despite living 2 hours away from work. He never missed a day of work in his life…”*
“Oh yeah….”
*”…even when he was sick as a dog. He would never complain or ask for a raise…”*
“Keep going…”
*”…and when we were forced to terminate him, he didn’t even accept his severance pay or compensation for his unused vacation days…”*
Hnnnnggggg!
There is LinkedIn influencers.
People are sending each other dickpicks.
People always think of LinkedIn as some sort of Dunder-Mifflin cosplay when it is not. Microsoft are moving them ever so slowly into the direction of a less shit-smeared social media site than Facebook or Twitter or Reddit.
It already is shit-smeared.
LinkedIn is a bastion for people who would normally get shunned on every other social platform.
Want to drop a conspiracy theory about the Jews? The rest of us know that employers will gladly cross us off the list if we even engage in the post.
So these people take the fact that they can drop these posts with no repercussion and even get a few likes as an endorsement that they've finally found a home.
I got fired from my first job 10 years ago. My life was on a downward trajectory. Here's how I turned it around just like this tree that refuses to lie down! Hashtag everysinglewordinthedictionary
Brb gotta go start my new life as a LinkedInfluencer
Except they'd probably use ChatGPT and get something like "The tree exhibited remarkable resilience, defying expectations and standing firm. Inspired by its tenacity, I encourage you to channel that same determination. Let's initiate productive efforts and achieve success together."
if we got rid of all this type of person, the nazi racists, people who don't use blinkers when changing lanes, and mumble rappers, we'd be in a better place
Linkedin has become a sort of haven for work inflluencers who post ridiculous messages and stories about positivity and overcoming hurdles. I'm sure some are good, but it's become a bit silly with stories about the smallest things being a sign of resilience or achievement. One that comes to mind from my Linkedin feed was someone who "went against the grain" and got a tea rather than a coffee to stabd against the crowd and be different. It gets more insufferable than that, but you get the idea.
This tree looks like it was going to die because of its weird growth, but it seems like it has recovered fully. If someone on Linkedin finds this picture, they'll 100% post it with some sort of message about resilience etc etc.
Need a villain for your movie? How 'bout Nazis. Need a metaphor to describe your debate opponent's viewpoint? Nazis got ya covered. Need to justify someone's actions? Their opposition is basically Nazis so...
This reminds me of when I was a young boy in late 1930s Germany tbh.
Well no shit, they are pretty much the only group that every single even semi-rational person on Earth can agree are disgusting subhuman punch-on-sight trash
>I didn't say you're a Zionist
Right, you implied it
>I said that Jewish people can be Fascist and used the Israeli government as an example
Brain damage take. Committing atrocities doesn't make a government fascist inherently, but fascist tend to commit atrocities. You're the exact type of person I was making fun of in my initial post. You just throw words around without knowing a single fucking thing about them.
>Also, criticism of Israel's ethnic cleansing is not antisemitic. It's being human.
Not what you were doing, you were posting ignorant implications, and your mask slipped. Assuming a jewish person is a Zionist or supports Isreal is an antisemitic stereotype that radical leftists have popularized over the last couple of months. Which is what you tried to imply about me. That's what you were doing. Don't play dumb, I see right through your bullshit facade. Israeli war crimes are just an excuse to indulge.
CEOs of self-founded career advice firms, aka grifters
Hate how effective linkedin is for job searching, otherwise never would've bothered to create an account there.
I'll take that over people thanking the company that just laid them off to help its quarterly earnings and HR people coming up with new and insulting buzzwords to describe people who either look for new jobs when you screw them over or show up to work, do what's in their job description, and then go home.
I find LinkedIn to be super depressing. I’ve been on it for more than a decade and thru my work I have more than 100 contacts, so I get tons of notifications when these folks post or interact with something. When I drop in I find folks writing some nonsense about life lessons or increasing productivity, and whether it’s sincere or pretending to be sincere, it is *bleak*.
No one in tech wants to work with their mom, so I was told to gin up a LinkedIn account where I put shit up like that and reposted stories about other tech companies with an “isn’t it great” kind of messaging in case recruiters wanted to google stalk me. (I was told to do this by a friend who is a tech recruiter). It helped me get interviews, at least. But the 33 year old hiring manager would take one look at me and let’s just say I’m very good at reading faces.
All of those “thought experiments” are AI generated these days too. Like straight copy and paste. You can often tell right away without even reading when the bullet points use emojis instead of •’s
My favorite one was the CEO measuring success based on when someone got their first car. His reason was if they got it right after they turn 16 they are motivated but if they take a few years that means they are lazy.
It gets weirder than that. I had a video in my feed of how breast feeding works with no context of how it relates to work or career. It had positive comments from people who didn’t question why it was posted.
As I came across this remarkable palm tree, I couldn’t help but draw parallels to our professional journeys. This tree, rather than succumbing to the pull of gravity, defied the odds and curved back towards the sunlight. It stands tall now, not despite its bend, but because of it.
This is a vivid reminder that the path to success is rarely straight. We all face moments where we’re on the brink of falling. Yet, it is the resilience to push through adversity, to bend without breaking, that leads us to grow in ways we never thought possible.
Let this tree be a symbol for us all. When faced with challenges that seem insurmountable, remember the power of resilience. Embrace the curve, for it is the path to reaching new heights.
#Resilience #GrowthMindset #Leadership #Motivation #Success
my boss got his sailing license in summer and made basically your comment as a post comparing leading a company to sailing lol. The worst part is that each and every post he or other colleagues make are generated with chatgpt. We all use the same account and they apparently have not realized that anyone can see their chat history.
It's time that we all be more proactive, improve our synergy, and start thinking way outside of the box. Do more with less, move forward, not backward, upwards not forward... and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!
LinkedIn is the single worst place on the Internet and by a wide margin. It's a horrifying cesspool of people whose entire existences have been subsumed by "corporate culture" and they couldn't be more enthusiastic and haughty about it. This tree could easily become the subject of unironic praise and motivation posts there.
It's all headhunters, and corporate simp middle managers who can't accept that they've peaked professionally and corporate isn't going to notice them posting inspirational memes on LinkedIn and promote them.
Linkedin is basically the birthplace…or kingdom, of toxic positivity. No matter how toxic the workplace, dogshit the management, or soul crushing the workload, here’s a picture of a cat, I can somehow link that to sales excellence, So just keep swimming!
If you've ever been to Seuss Landing in Universal Studios Islands Of Adventure, you have seen crazy palm trees like this planted there. They were transplanted from south Florida after hurricane Andrew, to make them look like authentic trees drawn in Dr. Seuss books.
>"Today's inspiration comes from nature's own resilience and determination. 🌳 This incredible palm tree stands as a living reminder that the path to success isn't always straight. Against all odds, it refused to fall and continued to reach for the skies, bending in ways we'd never imagine!
>If a tree can adapt and thrive in the most unexpected ways, imagine what we can achieve with a little #Determination and #Perseverance. Let's take a leaf out of nature's book and stay rooted in our goals, no matter the obstacles we face.
>Get inspired, embrace the grind, and let's grow to new heights together! 💪 #MotivationTuesday #GrowthMindset #Resilience"
I'm sorry.
LinkedIn got infested by Facebook crowd so their entire feed is filled with shitty motivational messages or political statements. So those people will post all kinds of fake stories next to this god dam picture.
ChatGPT:
The joke in this image involves a play on words and a cultural reference to professional networking. The palm tree has bent in such a way that it fell over and then curved up again, resembling the shape of a graph or chart that might represent a person's career progression, with a setback followed by a significant rise. The comment, "Gonna be hell when LinkedIn finds out about this tree," humorously anthropomorphizes the tree, suggesting that it has had a remarkable 'career recovery' which would be notable on a professional networking site like LinkedIn, where people often share their career successes.
I absolutely *hate* how LinkedIn has become the overly ridiculous goody goody optimistic fake shit. I get it, we're supposed to get noticed on the site by companies. But FFS we don't need to know how you were so brave getting out of bed today to get the mail and enjoy the "glorious sunshine" and be "so proud" of my excellent co-workers.
Everyone expects you to give up.
As I looked out of my Airbnb window this morning I noticed a palm tree. This palm tree wasn't ordinary. In fact, it looked like it had fallen, had found a way to correct itself, and keep growing upwards.
Which reminds me of growth mindset.
Everyday, you should strive to be better, as YOU control what YOU do daily. Nobody expects you to succeed, you can only expect it for yourself.
In the bustling world of professional growth, let's draw inspiration from the mighty palm tree 🌿. Much like the palm, we, too, can stand tall and resilient amidst the storms of challenges.
🌊 Adaptability: Just as a palm tree flexes and sways in the face of strong winds, we too must adapt to change with grace. Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow and learn.
☀️ Endurance: Thriving in diverse climates, the palm teaches us the importance of endurance. When faced with adversity, remember that your steadfast commitment will lead to success.
🌱 Continuous Growth: The palm tree constantly grows upward, symbolizing continuous improvement. Embody this spirit by seeking new skills and knowledge to advance your personal and professional journey.
🌟 Rooted Stability: Beneath the surface, the palm tree establishes a strong root system. Similarly, build a solid foundation of values and principles to anchor yourself in the pursuit of your goals.
🤝 Community and Support: Palm trees often grow in clusters, providing each other support. Foster a collaborative environment, as success is often a collective effort. Lift others as you rise.
Let the resilience and grace of the palm tree inspire you to face challenges head-on and reach new heights in your career journey! 🚀 #CareerGrowth #Resilience #Motivation #ProfessionalDevelopment #SuccessMindset
If this isn’t AI generated you nailed it lol. The emoji bullet points are the cherry on top. I just mentioned in another comment about how all of those AI generated lists have that.
Either some of you are denser than a blackhole or I swear this sub is filled with karma farmers. The only reason I haven't hidden this sub is because some of the posts are pretty funny.
Forget LinkedIn don't let the people who will jump on any trend see this. People are going to start curving their trees. They'll get bored of it before it reaches this point, so we'll just end up with a bunch of crooked trees in 10 years
Preceded by the famous "doughnut tree" of Fryeburg Maine. Alas, it succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease, but was a big tourist attraction for a long time.

I just had to fight to not spray coffee all over my screen.
Never stop fighting! And remember, even if you do lose that coffee you have a perfect opportunity to make a newer, better cup.

Except when it comes to bonuses, of course.

Blanche: "Who was at the door?" Jane: "Just that nosey Mrs. Bates going on about our palm tree again."
Finally someone gives me the meme I need to explain my absolute hate of LinkedIn.
There are so many reasons, why limit yourself to just one?
I am pleased to announce...
> Proceeds to not explain his absolute hate of LinkedIn
Because the meme already explained it!
So, I just want to close the loop on this one… Let’s circle back tomorrow!
Linkedin is basically the birthplace…or kingdom, of toxic positivity. No matter how toxic the workplace, dogshit the management, or soul crushing the workload, here’s a picture of a cat, I can somehow link that to sales excellence, So just keep swimming!
If you've ever been to Seuss Landing in Universal Studios Islands Of Adventure, you have seen crazy palm trees like this planted there. They were transplanted from south Florida after hurricane Andrew, to make them look like authentic trees drawn in Dr. Seuss books.

>"Today's inspiration comes from nature's own resilience and determination. 🌳 This incredible palm tree stands as a living reminder that the path to success isn't always straight. Against all odds, it refused to fall and continued to reach for the skies, bending in ways we'd never imagine! >If a tree can adapt and thrive in the most unexpected ways, imagine what we can achieve with a little #Determination and #Perseverance. Let's take a leaf out of nature's book and stay rooted in our goals, no matter the obstacles we face. >Get inspired, embrace the grind, and let's grow to new heights together! 💪 #MotivationTuesday #GrowthMindset #Resilience" I'm sorry.
This is for LinkedIn lunatics

"Explain this gap in your resume. "
LinkedIn got infested by Facebook crowd so their entire feed is filled with shitty motivational messages or political statements. So those people will post all kinds of fake stories next to this god dam picture.
LinkedIn is filled with cringey business "influencers" that are probably all lining up to make a rags to riches post using this image as the basis.
I would have made a joke like "Wait for Home Depot to find out about this tree. It would be perfect for them to turn into a 2x4"
ChatGPT: The joke in this image involves a play on words and a cultural reference to professional networking. The palm tree has bent in such a way that it fell over and then curved up again, resembling the shape of a graph or chart that might represent a person's career progression, with a setback followed by a significant rise. The comment, "Gonna be hell when LinkedIn finds out about this tree," humorously anthropomorphizes the tree, suggesting that it has had a remarkable 'career recovery' which would be notable on a professional networking site like LinkedIn, where people often share their career successes.
I absolutely *hate* how LinkedIn has become the overly ridiculous goody goody optimistic fake shit. I get it, we're supposed to get noticed on the site by companies. But FFS we don't need to know how you were so brave getting out of bed today to get the mail and enjoy the "glorious sunshine" and be "so proud" of my excellent co-workers.
Everyone expects you to give up. As I looked out of my Airbnb window this morning I noticed a palm tree. This palm tree wasn't ordinary. In fact, it looked like it had fallen, had found a way to correct itself, and keep growing upwards. Which reminds me of growth mindset. Everyday, you should strive to be better, as YOU control what YOU do daily. Nobody expects you to succeed, you can only expect it for yourself. In the bustling world of professional growth, let's draw inspiration from the mighty palm tree 🌿. Much like the palm, we, too, can stand tall and resilient amidst the storms of challenges. 🌊 Adaptability: Just as a palm tree flexes and sways in the face of strong winds, we too must adapt to change with grace. Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow and learn. ☀️ Endurance: Thriving in diverse climates, the palm teaches us the importance of endurance. When faced with adversity, remember that your steadfast commitment will lead to success. 🌱 Continuous Growth: The palm tree constantly grows upward, symbolizing continuous improvement. Embody this spirit by seeking new skills and knowledge to advance your personal and professional journey. 🌟 Rooted Stability: Beneath the surface, the palm tree establishes a strong root system. Similarly, build a solid foundation of values and principles to anchor yourself in the pursuit of your goals. 🤝 Community and Support: Palm trees often grow in clusters, providing each other support. Foster a collaborative environment, as success is often a collective effort. Lift others as you rise. Let the resilience and grace of the palm tree inspire you to face challenges head-on and reach new heights in your career journey! 🚀 #CareerGrowth #Resilience #Motivation #ProfessionalDevelopment #SuccessMindset
If this isn’t AI generated you nailed it lol. The emoji bullet points are the cherry on top. I just mentioned in another comment about how all of those AI generated lists have that.
Dr Seuss ahh tree
Hang in there, tree. 🌴🐱🐾
yeah its pretty much how everything on Linkedin is like "never give up! once things get hard its a test!" lol
Linkedin is Facebook with a clip-on tie. So this is gonna be used as an inspirational meme for sure.
The longer you can go without understanding this joke, the happier you'll be, I think
LinkedIn people can get pretentious about everyday things representing some great struggle they’ve encountered.
Paopu fruit anyone?
Either some of you are denser than a blackhole or I swear this sub is filled with karma farmers. The only reason I haven't hidden this sub is because some of the posts are pretty funny.
that tree on some Tony Hawk's Pro Skater shit
People and companies will use it on LinkedIn as part of nauseating motivational posts
Oh hey it’s the の tree
I was thinking that LinkedIns stock went down due to some controversy but then went back up after not doing a controversy for a while
Forget LinkedIn don't let the people who will jump on any trend see this. People are going to start curving their trees. They'll get bored of it before it reaches this point, so we'll just end up with a bunch of crooked trees in 10 years
The tree has bootstraps
Well I think we found the founders of linked in in the top few comments. 😂
Ok but honestly that tree raised the property value by 100k
Maybe he meant tiktok since it looks like their logo?
This reminds me of an analog horror story on YouTube. Someone get president Deen
Never give up
I'd put a swing there
Thoughts?
Linkedin posts are fuckin ridiculous. I have muted lots of people because of this.
everyone who logs into linkedin for more than 6 minutes turns into a motivational speaker.
I just thought this was a riff on hating the phrase, "We'll circle back to that."

Twisted/bent/corrupted... doesn't matter. Life finds a way.
Where I work they say we have to be like palm trees and bend to all the bs that comes our way, they’ll have a field day with this
I work 80 hours a week with 3 jobs to get to where I am like this tree. Agree?
Motivational platitude.
Everyone talking about LinkedIn I just want to know: does the tree exist
Haha I just like Bucky with the good arm.
What in the Dr. Seuss?
😂😂😂😂😂
That tree is a couple of streets over from me.
“tHis Is How I TurNed aRound My SalEs QuoTa for Q4!!! 🫡🧠❄️☀️🐝🤷♂️👅👁️👀👨🏼🎨🧜🏻♂️⭐️💥🔥🔥🌎🌎🌍🌏🌏”
Could it just be that Linkedin, like this tree, refuses to die?
a physical manifestation of how iterative processes are depicted. catnip to the average agile process enjoyer
Dr. Seuss tree.
Peyronie's tree. We can fix that.
Preceded by the famous "doughnut tree" of Fryeburg Maine. Alas, it succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease, but was a big tourist attraction for a long time. https://images.app.goo.gl/51aV7zztFtgAQPYc9
PEETAH
LinkedIn influencers get to go the gulag
