If enough people on LinkedIn suddenly start "working" for me, I'll do an update video on the company and my employees. Lets see what kind of people want to be part of the grindr-eel family! huehue
Face it Josh, they banned you because you're so damned hot! You've gotta gay cult following just to watch those hounddog puppy eyes of yours!
Hell yeah man, I just updated my profile and I'm about to join the crew. Boy Josh, how lucky are you that the CFO of Intel, HP, AND Sony is about to come work for you?
You're welcome.
Might take you up on that offer.
@@MDmattix I'm honored.
Hahaha already joined, man the interview was a breeze.
LinkedIn: “We’re letting you go, because you’re not a team player.”
Lmao
Meanwhile manager "influencers": `should internships be paid? Yes/no/ExPeRIenCE`
@@Mischu708 link in the first comment. (Self like)
Linkedin has just banned me recently because the comments of mine "Violated" something in the community rules(The rules that don't even exist)
would u get fired - if u legally change ur name to the same name as ur CEO?
so when ur manager tries to fire you - HR thinks he doesnt have the authority? LOL
You just covered my wife for 2 years of job gap while she stood at home to take care of our kids. Thanks Josh!
dude job gaps are a joke. specially within 9months. because in canada unemployment lasts that long. so to live life, you can last that long. but companies see that as red flag. bunch of bs. i got interviews with same company twice. once as steady employed, and once as honest unemployed. the time i said i was employed got me the job offer. and this was multiple times.
What kind of response did you say to the job gap question? I must have missed Josh's video on it or can't remember.
@@TheBigExclusive in my case, they ask the reason and 99% of the case, whatever you say won't matter. they will say "oh, i see" or "its ok." and you get ghosted and you will never hear from them again.
@@asadb1990 I actually think anyone who talks about "job gaps" is either gaslighting or being gaslit.
I lost a job at a news publishing company in 2007. I had enough money to live off of my own savings without unemployment or any kind of assistance for well over 18 months and so I took that time to take a shot at another business. After about 9 months I decided to give up on that idea, it wasn't quite as fantastic as I had hoped. But in the meantime a family member had a fourth recurrence of a late stage cancer and I ended up spending the next 18 months providing end of life care assistance for them. So now I'm 36 months out from my last W2 official employment. oh noz.
Even my own family will gaslight me from time to time about my "long job gap", even though they were too busy to even stop in at the hospital for months on end and relied on the fact that I was there 12 hours a day every day for over twelve solid months. Because now it's a way to use something against me.
It's all BS. I consider this no different from discounting women applicants on the basis that "women get pregnant and want to leave the job market to take care of their kids" (or even worse how they're getting even more twisted about that in regards to same-sex parents.)
It's a gaslight. People have all kinds of reasons for not being employed at any given time. These folks want to penalize you for *truancy* _from work,_ if you really listen closely to them. Or maybe it's jealousy? Maybe they resent you for being able to do something they could only dream of? Take over a year off from work? Lose ground? How can anyone do that?
Tell her to find us all and we will help eachother with those stupid LinkedIn recommendations lol
"You shouldn't have to have a social media to get a job" that part!!!👍👍
This is a legendary quote
Arun and others on LinkedIn: literally insult workers and call them "parasites, prostitutes" and so on. Crickets
Josh: exposes them and calls cringe a cringe.
LinkedIn: Oh,no, he violates our rules
LinkedIn mods : " Hello ? Hague military tribunary ? Yeah its Josh again with his dumb shit. Call the SAS. "
Companies want good slaves who are married/have kids. After about 20 years working, I'll tell young people you should not have any loyalty to any organization, they will turn on you in a second when its convenient and fire/replace you. Also to ensure no slavery, young people dont get married and dont get a girl pregnant, make sure she takes the birth control pill daily in front of you and both wear protection. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen. Promote this idea in videos and social media to help prevent more young people into this new slavery.
@@rejectionistmanifesto8836 You sound like a loon.
@@christopherkidwell9817 kid you haven't lived long enough to make a valid judgement yet if your statement is asinine.
Well, comparing them to prostitutes isn't inaccurate.
A hooker is only going to perform the services you paid her for. Nothing more, nothing less.
That's how workers SHOULD see their relationship to corporate, because that's how the people at the top see them.
LinkedIn is starting to turn more into a social media fluff piece site rather than a networking site for people in various companies. I see more and more random posts about someone who feels depressed, or their child said their first word, etc etc. This stuff DOESN'T belong on LinkedIn!
There's enough ass kissing in the office without it needing to go online as well
LOLOL I mean, you were totally correct. BUT it is sort of like “I snuck money out of the bank to demonstrate how badly it was built” ❤️😆
I mean, it wasn't that bad lol
I see your comparison but it's more like the money at the bank was just at an unmanned table and you walked out with it. The point is that it's too easy and irresponsible lol
I think it’s more like walking around with a “I’m a Doctor shirt”
@@retrofraction More like 'corporate-stolen-valor.'
Pretty spot on take
Thanks Grind Reel for having me as Android Developer for 2 years! This was an amazing experience for me and I recommend the company! Hope we can have a company reunion meeting on Twitch or youtube live with all Grind Reel current and ex employees! Truly a family ❤️🙏🏻
It was nice working with you, fellow android developer.
@@justinwhite2725 same here Justin!! 😃💪🏻
The company is hiring so many new employees, they must be making good money
@@thepowerlies infinite growth.
You haven’t heard of me but I’ve been part of your android developing team since the beginning. #grindreel
Omg I actually laughed out loud when you added yourself as CEO of so many large companies!
Also: Josh volunteering his company as a place to help fill a resume gap is a real opportunity
IKR? And so many people believed him.
@@bonemar66 I hope they were just playing along maybe? Lol
@@Shannon_Vlogs you would be surprised
hahahahhaha
Don't misread this: Josh is the type of employee I would have hated when I started managing 10 years ago. That's about the time rules started changing significantly favoring employee's freedoms over expectations placed on managers to drive production. So I am from a bygone era & the transition was rough for me. Fortunately GTFO of management and learned how to apply Josh's principles in the workforce. I couldn't be much happier with the results

@@JoshuaFluke1 ??⸮
@@JoshuaFluke1 Can you explain? I'm not sure how to read your comment. Thx!
@@leyenda6149 I think he meant that you could've done a video with your story and that would've been the title for it. Might be wrong
@@leyenda6149 It's just a meme from internet ads that say 'Doctors hate him! Try this tonight!' by giving you unorthodox advice.
classic Josh.
Josh: have 6 titles as CEO.
Also Josh: Why did I get banned?
love it.
yea i stopped watching there
Jacob Knox sounds like a hell of an employee. The intern better watch his back
Knoxvile from jackass remember? 😂
finally got 3 years experience to qualify for an entry level position. Thaank you!!
Remember that linkedin is a company too. And it is full of corporate cringes
And is owned by Microsoft
As the longest-employed member of your company (100 years, 10 months), I approve of this message.
"Assistant to the Assistant Regional Manager" ... Please tell me I'm not the only one who got the joke and reference - THE OFFICE ❤️😆😆
😂 I thought of Dwight Schrute
this is funny if you think about it a bit like this:
Josh revealed some flaws of the LinkedIn platform and instead of fixing them, what did they do? They banned him.
Now imagine that you work at a private company and you reveal some company flaws to the management. What will they do? Weeeeell, there is a possibility they might fire you.
that happens unironically
@MikeProductions1000 Some managers have an incentive to sabotage themselves for the sake of maximizing income and minimizing workload. Although it does nothing to simplify the work effort, it just creates more paper shuffling; so long as they're not made redundant, and their corporate budget isn't dropped.
I would give that person a promotion, but I guess I have too much common sense.
That happens very frequently in the cybersecurity consultation world. They ask you to find flaws. You show them. They get really mad and drop doing business with you. Most tech companies have inflated egos in their CEO & CTO positions. Hey, it's not our fault your company skimped on security just so you can buy a yacht.
I always laugh at corporate saying they seek excellence. They will fire you if you state the honest that the company cannot accept.
bro you didnt get banned you got "terminated".
“You’ve just been Erased” - Arnold Schwarzenegger 😂
They call it "suspension"... permanently because it doesn't mean "our community guidelines".
George Orwell had nothing on these demons.
The "community guidelines" are infact the opposite of what the community thinks!
Man, I'm worried that LinkedIn even exists. Imagine a world where you can't get hired without social media presence. It's a bit like getting no matches on a dating app because you don't have Instagram photos of yourself. Am I going to tell my children that they're going to fail at life if they don't document all of their achievements on social media?
In many places it has unfortunately become that way.
I always thought and still think of Linkedin as a useful tool.
But you really hit me with your comment.
The things you said apply way more to Instagram than Linkedin.
If you post nothing on Instagram is like you don’t have a life. Nobody knows what you did last saturday so you probably stayed home.
And yes, you need to document all of your achievements on social media nowadays. We created a shi**y society.
I was required to create a LinkedIn profile as part of my college curriculum. I can't say one way or another if it's helped me get a job, but it's been a useful reference for myself when trying to remember when I worked somewhere or referencing certifications I've obtained
@@McShmoodle I had an employer who asked me to create it. I kind of hate it, but I did get approached by a really cool company not long after so I am kind of torn right now.
You kick corporate America in the balls every single day Josh. Thank you for giving me the strategies that I needed to keep myself consistently employed through COVID
I long for the day where I will no longer need that platform.
You don't need it. Best to use one id as the real you. And another id to speak and actually do things. But its a pretty awful platform. I boycott it now.
I have the 3 years experience as a dev requirement for an internship now!! Thanks josh!
I love you
I'm just the coffee maker
I cannot believe people still use linkedin, instead of just using a message board for each topic like everyone else
I try to use it to find work but its turning into facebook. First the feel good company posts, then the religious post, last year were political posts, not they are starting to post pictures of their home life. I don't give a shit about your cats Brenda from HR!
I don't have a LinkedIn they are in top list of companies that sells your information
It's basically a dating site for professionals.
Joshua, there's the #1 Commandmant of Corporate Culture: Thou shalt not damage the BRAND. And you definitely damaged the "brand" of LInkedIn. :D Keep up the good work.
Bravo👍
You proved the point. Getting banned is all what they can do but they can’t stop you from uncovering the nasty side of IT corporations.
Keep the good work and the great content as always.
Thank you very much
Yea, keep it up bro. There is so much wrong with the industry. Thanks a bunch! Wish you were making videos earlier.
LinkedIn is banned in Russia for whatever excuse about info protection, but the real reason has to be its second to none user-hostile interface.
And total unaccountability.
This made my morning so much better
I love you
@@donkeyhobo34 I love you too, Mike.
@@seinfan9 have another Mike … 😉
why coz ur happy that linkedin banned him?
juz kiddin :P
@@Winoforever93same here!! haha
Jacob Knox is a legend. Good sense of humor. Loved it.
I am happy to announce that I will be joining Grind Reel as a Software Engineer after graduation!
Thank you to Joshua Fluke and Jacob Knox for the help and advice throughout this process. I look forward to joining the team in Utah, and starting on this new journey!
Update us if you get a real job with Grind Reel on your resume lol
Jacob deserves a promotion. Make him CEO of the CEO
Going to add Grind Reel to my resume and have Jacob Knox as my recommendation. Probably also going to add that I got a Masters Degree from South Hampton Institute of Technology as well.
Also thank you for the Chief Heart Officer position at the company. Going to send out remote hugs, build more macro uniformity and uphold the dude-bro mentality.
It would be hilarious if this community starts using each other as recommendations/referrals
I mean, can't beat the system then play the system lol
@@juangraciaofficial there's gotta be a way we can set up a fake referral group so we can all get great linkedin referrals
@@memeking8734 A reddit sub or something like that, let's fuck the system that requires a year or three of experience to get a fucking entry level job
I have a company registered in the US and have a LinkedIn page & maybe the website is still up, this community could use me as a referral & experience too
@@juangraciaofficial Really? What's the company and site? I am ressurrecting my Linkedin profile tomorrow! :)
@@juangraciaofficial people helping people. It’s the way the world should work.
LinkedIn: "The banning will stop, until the cringe improves."
That Jacob Knox is next level troll. He probably also took your advice on how to get a first job.
I think giving yourself fake certifications or skills can in theory flag you for the activity. However, when paired with "I also run all the big tech companies simultaneously" you can easily get to the conclusion that the claim is so outlandish it cannot be feasibly taken for granted (such as red bull giving you wings)
I'm surprised they even let you tag yourself as a CEO of a big company like that. If you're the CEO of Google or Facebook or whatever, why would you even want a Linkedin?
elon musk: i'm CEO of multiple big companies
Josh is like “I was lying on linked in and have no idea why I got banned…” to be clear I agree with the point he was making 😂
I laughed my ass off for real ... the CEO of 6 huge tech companies part had me 😂
As someone who works in one of the big social media companies, your account was most likely taken down under a policy that many call "inauthentic behaviour" or "account misrepresentation". Even though you were making a point, many sites, in particular Facebook and Instagram (Not Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, or Twitter), require a *real* person's profile. As you were publically LARPing as someone with inauthentic behaviour, your account was most likely taken down under that policy.
Not saying they are right, just providing clarity into what most likely happened with internal conversations. Personally, I think, you've done a great service to the entire job-hunting community because you've proved how much shit is on these sites.
The biggest offender in "inauthentic behaviour" is Linkedin itself.
It bans eminent scientists and those who provide links to their work.
I mean mainstream, world renowned ones. Not conspiracy nuts.
Linkedin needs to be closed down. It is an attack on democracy, science and a decent society.
It peddles the narratives of crooks and lowlives who have contempt for Western democracy.
@@ismith8053 Yea, although I am not sure why I was banned from linkedin literally two days after making an account, I feel you're right about them being the most inauthentic. I did post links to my work which included some videos and now I see that as a probable reason.
Chutiya apps be like
If we say only shit they bann our profile
So I typed bhadwa bhenchod bhosdike gaandu
They didnt do anything
Since LinkedIn banned you let's all remove our professional profiles.. Josh why don't you create your own professional platform
Doesn't need to exist
I just hibernate my account
We can't remove linkedin, but we can force them to get better
Braintrust
@@cyano3d LOL. we can delete the entirety of linkein within about a week. Destroying the back ups is the hard part. Also some ppl would go to jail but hey all for a better worlds
"Vague guidelines + arbitrary enforcement - useful feedback = best policy"
- Probably Machiavelli
From day one I knew that working for Grind Reel would be a transformational experience. I am leaving a better professional and a better human…..
I had no idea how much LinkedIn relied on trust alone, I look differently at the whole platform now. Laughed out loud when your 'employee' hired himself and started taking over the plot on your now uneditable page. Great vid Joshua
we neeed a decentralized linkedin platform
with blackjack and hookers
All Silicon Valley companies give vague TOS violations nowadays. I'm sure it's all benevolent reasons....
Saying it as it is? Also a violation.
_Your has now been terminated. If you would like to appeal this decision, please mail in your response through your local waste management bin and We will respond as soon as possible_
Lookin' out the window...that's a paddlin'
@Seeingblind2 are they really vague?
'Do not create a fake profile or falsify information about yourself: We don’t allow fake profiles or entities. Do not post misleading or deceptive information about yourself, your business, your qualifications, work experience, affiliations, or achievements. Do not use an image of someone else, or any other image that is not your likeness, for your profile photo. Do not associate yourself on LinkedIn with a business or organization that you are not actually associated with. Do not use or attempt to use another person's LinkedIn account or create a member profile for anyone other than yourself. And do not share your LinkedIn account with anyone else.'
'Violating our community policies can result in action against your account or content
These policies apply to all members. Depending on the severity of violation, we may limit the visibility of certain content or remove it entirely. If you believe a particular item of content was removed in error, you can appeal from the link provided in the removal notice. Repeated or severe offenses can result in a temporary or permanent restriction from LinkedIn. If you believe action taken on your account was in error, you can submit a request to appeal your case.'
Or are they clear and the fact that people cannot read (like a job poster profile) is also applied to a lot of people (like cannot read a guidelines and rules...)
TH-cam dont even give reasons for bans.
LI sometimes do, but their bans are completely illegal in most countries.
I’m going to say I was an intern tasked with eating assorted microchips to test management assumptions that it will turn me into a cyborg.
I was an assistant senior manager to the junior dev team at Grind Reel. One of the best jobs I’ve ever had. Josh (my boss) was firm but fair, like Russian police.
Social media is like being in a bad relationship:
go sleep on the couch!
why?, what did I do wrong?
oh.... YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU DID!
It's because of the argument that only existed in their head. haha
I had the “You know what you did” line in an annual performance review once. They said I caused problems for a few other people I worked with but wouldn’t tell me who they were or what I had supposedly done to them, they just gave me that line instead. Later on I found out that same person was $hit talking me to other people too. I left not too long after that.
this is the highest level of badge of honor one can achieve in the “job market”. wear it with pride! :)
Working with Grind Reel. That's a great idea & hilarious😂😂😂😂
Fair play to you! I think people need a reminder every now and again that over share is a bad idea online.
I had a coworker that said on Linkedin that she had a Bachelors degree from a college where they only offer Associates degree. SMH!
Like in Coming to America, when Akeem said he attends “The University of the United States” 🇺🇸 😂
🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
I had a coworker who told everyone he was getting a PhD but he didn't even have an undergrad degree.
I got banned from linked in. I literally created an account denied all cookies and disabled all data collecting and privacy settings (which was a ton) then logged off. The next time I tried to log in, I got the same ban message, smh. If I weren't looking for a new job I would've never considered creating another new account.
Random place to do this but I really just gotta say thank you for this channel. Just used some leverage and talked my way to a $5 increase in pay. I can't stress enough how life changing that is for me. You got me out of the corporate simping mindset and I appreciate it bro.
Just joined the grind reel family! Thank you for all the wonderful content you make. You help people every day and give me hope as a struggling college student.
Thanks Josh! I’m your Chief Marketing Officer, and I love that our organization is drives innovation through ground breaking digital media strategies! We’re definitely going places! I don’t know where we’re going exactly, but onward we go 😂😂😂

It's interesting that there is this "antidiscrimination" stuff like "employer shouldn't know your age, marriage status, etc". And there are countries where you either tell this stuff or you are unemployed, period.
This was an awesome video, good humor and education. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks Josh. I might need to work in your company for the past two years.
I went though this on Facebook and twitter. By submitting your ID, your agreeing to a legal review of your account. Its a railroad tactic where they receive a complaint, make a decision to suspend you, demand ID or dont respond within 30 days the account is deleted. If you do respond with ID, they complete there stupid review and ban you anyways all while getting prepared to follow up with you filing for disclosure and contract fraud in a court.
Yep demanding your id is particularly vile. Even cops don't ask to see your passport. Only lawyers I was using, travel agents/airlines and passport control have ever asked me, aside from LI. Why should a scumbag from Davos, with an army of Pakistan based e-trolls masquerading as "moderators"?
Fuck LI, they are scum.
Exactly.
An eye-opener, thanks!
spot on josh
i literally put a random company as my previous employer that i got rejected from lol. got the first real job and knew absolutely nothing. but kept on playing the game. thought finally i don't have to lie anymore. wrong, need to lie as much as reasonably possibly to land job.
That's the game

Why couldn't LinkedIn ban him for posting irrelevant shit on a professional network? 🤬
Highly appreciated. Absolute truth.

I am excited to start my new career path at prestigious Grind reel as an i coming Data Engineer. I cannot thank enough to Mr. Joshua Fluke to give me this opportunity and assist me at every stage of the interview process.
Lmao this was a great one, Josh
You shouldn't have to have a social media to get a job. That strikes hard. I am (legally) unemployed (I have black market earnings) and refuse to go to linkedin and everyone berates me for not doing so since 90% of jobs pass from there. It is sad, plain sad.
Laughing from the middle video onwards 😂😂😂
Your right adding too much information can be detrimental in your job search, especially if your over 40. Companies don't like old people. They want shiny new people right out of College, without a thought in their head. I hope they hire a lot of woke employees, they deserve them.
Josh is the Dr. DisRespect of LinkedIn
God bless you👆👆👆👆
I'm literally crying.. Thank youuuuu so much for getting me my account back, Forever appreciate It dude ❤❤
100%...
you are a loan man doing gods work here man. Makes me want to start a YT to expose these parasites
Josh, it’s because of your videos that my eyes got wide open to corporate cringe and dysfunction that I never could see before. I’m proud to say that I quit LinkedIn months ago and feel so much better 😅. My job low key encourage the platform and so many colleagues go on there and post/share things back and forth but I always felt uncomfortable being on there. On less thing to worry about.
Josh, don’t give them ideas! Soon, we will see “companies” charging people to fill gaps on their resumes
There were some but they didn't last very long
I just finished high school and am so glad to have worked for grindreel as an assistant to the assistant to the regional manager for 3 years 😊

Joshua fluke you are doing gods work!
Kudos!
We should thank linkedin for this opportunity they have given us to work with Josh
Im surprised they didnt "taze" you. I used to work there and we'd taze people's accounts and they don't realize that what they do isnt visible to others after that
Reminds me of discord mods
That's called a shadowban
so you know the security they have on their servers right?
One of your best videos! Keep fighting the good fight!
This channel is GOLD!
Joshua is priceless and should be protected at all costs
My theory why they banned him is "corporate simps" are the modern equivalent of "canon fodder". LinkedIn is a platform that promotes the corporate image, and he's clearly a threat to the status quo.
I loved this soooo much!
Thanks for that bridge Josh! And love your vids!
you're missing main point - LinkedIn makes money - by matching all our data with credit bureau to assess the Financial earnings- and sell that data with Insurance companies, Digital marketing companies, crypto currencies and other tech companies do promote financial cyber theft.
That's okay, I got banned from just about every tech platform for jokes and memes. They are nothing more than badges of honor at this point.
Yeah, but where do you joke now?

At this moment there are more than 30 pages of employees associated with the company. I bet Grind Reel gets an offer for a free trial upgrade very soon.
Humor isn't the problem, the problem is truth. Truth in the twenty first century has become offensive. Same reason their calling 2021 the great resignation, people are starting to come to the realization that the American Dream is just that...A dream. Work hard and you'll be rewarded is a complete fallacy, unless of course you start from a position of privilege. Then again most that start from a privileged position don't need to work hard to achieve the American Dream, its handed to them because of their privileged position at the start and their further privilege of gaining admission to the top colleges regardless of their abilities and skills. Linkedin and the majority of sites dedicated to "helping you" achieve your dreams are nothing more than obstacles to keep you in a position of weakness and obfuscation, which Josh sadly pointed out which is the real reason Josh was banned.
Great Video!
