It's so funny it's painful

A social media post screenshot where the author claims to have become Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at 26 with a $600k salary in 2018. After asking 'How did I do it?', most of the explanation is censored with black blocks, except the last part revealing 'CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.' The post ends with ironic statements 'There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts,' creating a humorous contrast between the claimed achievement and the actual nepotistic reason.

Origin notes

The image is a user-created meme originally posted on 9Gag. It uses a text-based social media post format with manually added black censorship bars to obscure most of the explanation, building up to a punchline about nepotism. The creation method likely involved basic image editing to add the censorship blocks to a template or original text post.

This is a remixed stick figure meme parodying the popular 'are ya winning son' template. A stick figure father wearing a hat, smoking a cigarette and holding a mug stands in a doorway asking 'ARE YA hired SON??'. The second stick figure, representing a job seeker, lies on the floor crying, surrounded by scattered job application documents, next to an open laptop marked with the LinkedIn logo, and replies 'NO.'. The meme humorously depicts the common frustration of unsuccessful job hunting after submitting large numbers of applications via professional platforms like LinkedIn.

This image is a screenshot of a verified public post from the X (formerly Twitter) account @DikembeDudes. The post features satirical text that reads: 'Good thing we didn't raise the minimum wage or everything would be so expensive right now'. The joke uses sarcasm to mock a common conservative argument against raising minimum wage, which claims that wage increases would cause significant inflation and higher cost of living. The punchline highlights that high cost of living and inflation are already prevalent in the current economic climate, even without minimum wage hikes. The account's profile picture shows a group of smiling men posing together with a 'We're Festing' event graphic overlaid.
