Why 7? Because prime is cool!
Ah, LinkedIn—the corporate carnival where buzzwords and trends never sleep. Here’s your guide to the biggest flexes of the year:
Disclaimer: This post intentionally sidesteps:
?We’re sticking to classic corporate trends—no detours.?
1. AI Everything ??
If your post doesn’t mention ChatGPT or Generative AI, did you even show up? Bonus points for calling AI a “game-changer.” Extra bonus if you misspell it as “chatGBT.” because before a Tech Guru you were a DEI evangelist.
2. Quiet Quitting 2.0
Now called "Sustainable Hustle." Translation: Doing the bare minimum & pretending it’s a revolutionary concept.
3. The 4-Day Workweek Debate
The dream is alive, but your boss isn’t buying it. Cue endless debates about productivity vs. burnout.

4. Skills Over Degrees ??????
“Your MBA is cute, but can you make a good Canva presentation?” The rise of skills-first hiring is making universities sweat.
5. Layoff Announcements (Now with Extra Positivity)
“Got laid off today… so grateful for this opportunity to reinvent myself!” Sprinkle some hashtags, cue the comments section. Expect daily posts quoting Marcus Aurelius and flexing 5 AM workout routines.
6. Gen Z Takes on Work Culture
They want mental health days, flexible hours, and an end to emails. Oh, and stop calling them digital natives, please.
7. The Great LinkedIn Poll Epidemic ???
“Is cereal a soup?” “Are remote workers actually working?” Some questions don’t need answers, people. And the worst of all "A screenshot of your own Tweet" and the below that, "DO YOU AGREE???" (mandatory multiple question-marks)
Confession Time: I mock these antics, yet here I am, scrolling and chuckling like the rest of you. Guilty as charged. Let’s be real—these posts serve up a mix of insights and entertainment that keep us all coming back for more. So, keep 'em coming.
