Pickleball Players Skip Game and Just Get Straight To Adding Each Other On LinkedIn

A group of corporate hustlers have this week found a way to make their lives even more efficient.

Locked into their weekly grindset mentality, a number of Betoota CBD office workers have decided to cut out the middle man and just crush their goals straight up.

That came last night in the form of a flurry of new LinkedIn connections, without having to put in any leg work.

“Yeah, Steve actually just had a genius idea to skip the Pickleball and straight up just add each other on LinkedIn,” laughed Selina Carter (27) a finance analyst looking to make junior partner at her firm in the next couple of years.

The group of social pickleball players who randomly get allocated teams on a Wednesday night, said that rather than expend energy on the niceties of hitting a shitty little wiffle ball over a knee height net – they decided to just cut to the chase and pull up the LinkedIns.

“So we all did that, before going and get a zero alcohol beer, talking about our jobs without listening to anything anyone else said about their job, before ducking off home at 8:30pm.”

“Talk about a dream end to hump day!” said Selina, who also managed to get an invite to a couple of run clubs and a coffee shop rave on the weekend.

It’s unknown whether the new trend will catch on in the broader pickleball space, or whether people under the age of 60 will keep playing the sport designed for retirees.

More to come.
