I don’t get the extreme focus on eating and drinking. Nearly every shot involves food and drink. These companies have so many perks to brag about, but all these young “influencers” talk about is eating and drinking all day long. Are Gen-Z people starving or something?

I (and many other engineers I work with) often get so engrossed with work I forget lunch. Who are these people stuffing their faces all day?

These people are “eating out”, and eating out is a luxury; hence, the videos promote the idea of a luxurious job (without, apparently, and real work to be done).

What makes those videos infuriating is that they miss out… any of the parts where she does actual work? And that’s a video choice not an indictment of the industry. Surely nobody thinks everyone at linkedin just wonders round the office sipping mojitos for 10 hours a day.

Between the sheer number of people getting axed in layoffs and the amount of, "Yeah I actually only do like 2 hours of work a day," boasts, it doesn't sound so farfetched. They're surely not doing something so technical and important that they deserve that versus, say, the person dealing with screaming, irate customers in a pharmacy for 8 hours (also, you can't sit, no sitting allowed, it looks lazy).
