    Not exactly the same, but I once attended a work call when I was staying with my Dad after he had a knee replacement. He had decided to “tough it out” and not take painkillers, and during the call he started screaming “kill me! oh god kill me!” because of the pain, quite loud enough to be heard by everyone on the call. My boss said “it’s OK, ChickenLady, this call isn’t that important. Go ahead and kill your father.”

    I’m in the corporate world, I’m a hiring manager. I refuse to have a linkedin. Everyone says they wish they could do the same - then do it. Do the same. Nothing happened to me, nothing will happen to you other than your life being better because you aren’t on Linkedin.

    edit: grammar

          The problem is corporate culture. LinkedIn is merely reflecting it. Any other platform for job seekers would have the same issues.

            Not if it’s treated like a social media for whatever reason.

            Xing (German) and Headhunter (Russian), for instance, both allow you to hunt for jobs and browse companies all without Facebook-like posts and corporate culture.

            LinkedIn is a very curious artifact of moronic cargo cult-like chase for money and market share where companies just try and copy whatever the big player did, like Facebook at the time, hoping to make loads of money for the investors and stakeholders, but the absolutely anti-human corporate culture of the US makes the place is even more moronic.

      I only use linked in every few years when I job hop. Literally the only reason I refuse to get rid of it entirely is that I doubled my salary the time I got a job.

      That seems so weird. Linked in is simply a way to connect with co-workers so you can contact them when you’re no longer at the same job. I don’t have them in my Facebook, I didn’t have them in my phone, but if I want to contact them for connections or anything, LinkedIn is the place for that. How much you interact with the posting garbage is entirely up to you. I do it extremely little and I have no problem with LinkedIn.

        I provide my phone number and email to coworkers that I want to connect with when they leave a job. Linkedin is corporate hustle poison and I refuse to be part of it.

          Hey, whatever works for you. There are many people who I’m friendly with, but I’m not friends with, and they can be useful to find out information about employment opportunities or other things like that. Whether or not you want to call it “corporate hustle poison” or networking, or just being friendly is up to you. If you refuse to be part of it, no skin off my back, but if someone wants to be part of it then that’s perfectly fine too. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with LinkedIn, Facebook or almost any other social media platform. It’s really in how you use it.

    I recently deleted my LinkedIn for two reasons:

    1. Endless horseshit recruiters coming at me with bullshit jobs

    2. I come from a large firm. LinkedIn became what I would describe as occupational hubris as I would see partners from there making prideful post after post about increasing the toxicity of the place in words that made them sound all wise and stuff

    I would further see many posts about young people abandoning pursuit of the profession and there being a dire shortage of entry level recruits. Responses to these posts always address lowering the educational and certification requirements, but never address the reality of working eighty hours a week, getting shat on, berated, and dehumanized the entire time for about sixty grand a year with maybe a five to ten percent chance of moving up to the real money.

    Fuck all of them right in the eyeball with the white hot barbed penis of Satan himself.

    Every once in a while, I’ll drive by that building. When I do, I open up the sun roof and throw them a Bronx salute out the roof as I pass by. I know somebody actually saw me do it because word got back to me about it. Petty I know, but satisfying nonetheless.

    I make maybe one third of what I could if I had stuck it out, but I still make plenty to live on, and that increase would require me to be somebody I refuse to become.

          Oh man, that would have sounded so nice when I was still working in the industry.

          I could just picture being stuck on site being berated in the middle of the night since some far away NOC thought deleting the switch configuration files was a good idea (again) and getting the offer to be a goat herder.

          “Wait your telling me no human contact at all? Comes with a hut? Many KMs from the nearest technology?”

      yeah, like the social media for the villains in every horror movie. Like this is 100% where the guy from saw posts about the method to get the most fear out of a trap.

    The thing I find weird is when people start interacting with weird Facebook-y political posts, and interacting with them in a pretty strong way. In my mind, LinkedIn is a picture of what you’re like to work with, it’s how you present yourself to prospective co-workers.

      I am almost appreciative that Linkedin just overtly embraces the synthetic and manufactured cultural dance we do in business, like nobody expects anyone to do anything but show their most pretentious and carefully cultivated images. You don’t log into Linkedin expecting to see a video of Uncle Jim ranting from the front seat of his truck about immigrants, and that’s almost beautiful.

      It brings me back to an age when people actually tried to conform just a little for the sake of social progress, people kept their shit to themselves and worked to be part of a system. It was as close as we ever were to being even remotely socially conscious.

      Those people who do that, will also definitely do that in the workplace. You’re getting an accurate image of the person.

        That’s his point, when people hide what they are you can pretend humanity is not lost.

        Then the corporate speak reminds you that humanity is lost.

    This is missing the super cool and interesting formatting.

    Every post on LinkedIn must be formatted for maximum visibility.

    The way to do that is by putting a line break after every sentence.

    Like this.

        I mean every social media has good and bad places ofc but for me linkedin has been the worse, idk it felt like I was looking at my bosses jokes and forced to laugh otherwise they’d fire me.
