This is ironic right? Because literally the word “Effort” is an item in the list. I think this is a woosh
- Bonus pay
- Allowing time off
- Not making the workplace toxic
Throw in remote work. No one needs to be in an office to do paperwork.
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
Effort does not require effort
This has got to be satire
Satire does not require satire these days.
I’m leaning towards satire or AI generated. Could be either.
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.
How does one effort without effort?
Like this:
“How did I just do that?” you may be asking!
Please, allow me to elaborate further:
By being effortless. >.>
MAYBE SHES BORN WITH IT, MAYBE ITS MAYEBLENE~


Maybe it’s plasticine
It’s definitely maple beans.
Be neurotypical and be privileged enough to not have any (mental) health issues
It wouldn’t have required much effort to determine that effort does in fact require effort.
“Doing extra”!?
Sorry that’s too much effort!
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
What does the writer think “extra” means?
What does the writer think “effort” means? What does the writer think anything means?
Not sure. Clearly there’s no effort being dedicated towards rational thought
Management by ai would count
It is free speech – the author probably
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.
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.
unpaid overtime probably

10 THINGS YOU CAN SAY TO YOUR EMPLOYEES TO DEMEAN THEM AND SNEAKILY ENCOURAGE THEM TO EMBRACE YOUR WAGE THEFT.
At least “zero talent” makes more sense.
Unfortunately these things do require more than zero fucks.
“doing extra” I wonder who is fooled by this sign
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.
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”.
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.
Isn’t this what is called ableism?
This is corporate fuck you wageslaves culture
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?
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).
I have seen this exact list posted under the title “things that don’t require talent” so it was probably a typo that got overlooked.
…and this is what happens when you write bullshit without effort.
Seriously, an LLM could have done a better job than whoever wrote this.
I was thinking that an LLM probably did write it.
I’ve seen this posted before, in fact so long ago that if it was an LLM it would have been GPT-1 at most.
I’m pretty sure this is human-flavoured stupidity, rather than LLM garbage.
