2025 workplace trends: Corporate influencers, ‘returnships,’ more

[@capsman09]

Businesses need to stop just having unpaid College Interns. I think having Internships with no age requirements is good. Especially, if you're looking to switch careers.

[@prissylily25]

And at minimum- PAY them people. ❤

[@lenaprice6239]

I'm ok with opening internships to all people, but they need to ensure that there are still ample opportunities specifically targeted towards young people.

[@ahappilydrunkpuppy8961]

Internships are for college students and recent graduates. Apprenticeships are for people 30+. You don’t want to be 31 around 19 year olds.

Demons. Some people have spent years working saving and raising their kids, then when it about time for them to enjoy the fruits of their labor in retirement, the economy becomes so bad they have to return to work, and that is good news? WOW 🙆‍♂ This timeline sucks!

[@prissylily25]

Same!!! Agreed!

[@FGH9G]

Dystopian horror stories repackaged as feel-good, heartwarming, and inspirational stories! Corporate America's favorite genre of garbage!

[@maki9396]

I hate this spin..the american dream is long dead

[@mac2875]

Because everyone is struggling, its definitely not FUN 🤦‍♂

[@jlf115]

corporate influencers. 🤮

[@truediva18]

Corporate influencers.....hey those who got degrees in marketing......

[@galemartin9155]

🤷🏾‍♂️ 2025 will not be pleasent.

[@Native722]

Their are OLDER interns! Some employers actually made fun of me for being an older intern.

[@MAG320]

Influencers is a broad term. It can be a single person…. Or the 4 of yall. The definition of influencer is to persuade an audience to do something.

More friendly environment of WFH policies would help women go through menopause. 💁‍♀️

[@Martina_E]

Yes all interns should definitely get paid! Aye

[@angelicapilar19]

If I was head of LinkedIn, I would ask myself, how can I make my company grow? … sell ideas, target specific audiences

[@Scott_T_]

Yup - exactly! AI is going to start writing the employee termination letters.

[@aarontoalet]

Social media is easy. You don't need a gen z expert to teach anyone about it. It's not deep. What is there to "learn"?

[@infini.tesimo]

Actually a lot. You'd be surprised the level of research copywriters go through on this and pay millions to learn over their lifetime.

[@Nikita-oi8cf]

Ha. Bless your heart.

[@aarontoalet]

@@Nikita-oi8cf It’s not a difficult job. Everyone knows what drives likes and traffic.

🤦

[@ecaldwell9]

Chick in white dress needs to shut-up & listen! Let them respond! She is always very distracting.

[@clare9621]

This is distopian

[@DohertyT2319]

How about be responsible with your money in one of the best economic times in America yet they weren’t responsible and now they gotta go back to work. They deserve it.

[@katies2067]

What an ignorant take. Inflation, stagnant salaries, unexpected expenses, etc. are all reasons why people are struggling financially. Sure some people are mismanaging their money, but many aren’t. “They deserve it.” 😒

[@DohertyT2319]

@ if you’re of retirement age you lived through the most economically prosperous time in human history if you didn’t come out on top you clearly wasted your time in most circumstances. The s&p was about 300$ in the 80s. Not buying assents when you’re young is a great way to ensure you will work until you die

[@dj.1094]

@@DohertyT2319you must not have been alive during the great recession of the early 2000s, fall of wall street, Enron, auto industry buy out. All of those boomers had investments that they lost during that time and had to rebuild. Not to mention the housing crash of 2008 so the value of their homes dropped. It is not mismanagement putting retirees back in the workplace it s the economy over the last 20 years

Blackstone on social media be like: “own nothing be happy 🫶”
