How does one effort without effort?

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 63 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

By being effortless. >.>

Maybe it's plasticine

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

It’s definitely maple beans.

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

"How did I just do that?" you may be asking!

Please, allow me to elaborate further:

Effort does not require effort

This has got to be satire

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

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

What does the writer think "extra" means?

[–] Bonifratz@piefed.zip 81 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 week ago

Management by ai would count

[–] kubica@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It is free speech -- the author probably

[–] TheEntity@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

unpaid overtime probably

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 62 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

YOUR MOTHER DOES NOT WORK HERE JENOTHY WASH YOUR DAMN FORK

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 51 points 1 week ago (2 children)

things that don't require effort:

  • ...
  • ...
  • effort

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

whose effort we talking about because i just got handed a cup of tea. effortless.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

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

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)
  • Bonus pay
  • Allowing time off
  • Not making the workplace toxic
[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week 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 7 points 1 week ago

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

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 1 week 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 1 week 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 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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

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

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

[–] public_image_ltd@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isn’t this what is called ableism?

[–] arin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

This is corporate fuck you wageslaves culture

[–] webp@mander.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

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

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

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

[–] oftenawake@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Or doesn’t even make an acronym

That’s just lazy

[–] credo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Okay let’s fix this list:

  • ….

I can’t think of anything.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

Of course not, that would require effort! 😉

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

I agree, even the less obvious ones as having a good attitude or being on times arent things that requires effort (like whoever scrawled on the picture scrawled).

they didn't specific good before attitude

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"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 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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