    He was stunned. Lol. These people… They are so far into the matrix, they cant see anything clearly anymore.

    I could write a lot about this topic and these people but we all know already.

    Had a career as a lawyer for over 20 years and not once I posted anything on LinkedIn! Are these real people or paid trolls?

    “if he isn’t posting about how hard he’s working, is he even working at all?” is obviously satire

    I’ve never had a LinkedIn and I deleted my Facebook and Instagram years ago. I actually think it’s why I can’t get a new job in my field. I’m currently employed, get good feedback from my supervisors and peers, have tons of experience, and have good working relationships with the people I deal with outside my company, but most networking in my field is all done on social media and most jobs are posted on Facebook. I’ve been looking for a new job for months and have applied at multiple places and followed up and heard crickets, and yet I know people with the same exact job who were fired for cause and had a job the next week. The only job openings I’ve even found are places that coworkers with social media pointed me to, because they saw posts that the companies are hiring. I’m starting to wonder if companies are looking me up on social media, not finding me, and throwing me in the reject pile. The last thing I want to do is rejoin the metaverse, but I’m starting to think I’m wrecking my career by avoiding it. It’s so frustrating.

      I have never posted anything on my LinkedIn account, I set up the account years ago when I believed it it would actually be beneficial, quickly realised it wouldn’t be, and abandoned it.

      I get recruiters chasing me all the time, everyone in the industry does.

      That’s not to say there are necessarily a lot of jobs, there may be, but the recruiters are so bad at their jobs that it’s hard to tell. They’re also trying to get me to move to another continent all the time. Why can’t Saudi Arabia just use their own people, I don’t get it.

      I am surprised that most of the jobs for your industry are on Facebook. I don’t even know how to find job reqs on Facebook… I don’t actually know how to post on LinkedIn either though. But most of the job reqs I see that are a decent fit are on LinkedIn, and I’ve heard of a lot of the new start-ups in my industry from LinkedIn. … Ise you work in engineering for defense or space companies, I’d start with making a profile on LinkedIn.

    I have exactly one LinkedIn post I made recently after 12.5 years in my career as a software engineer. It was about supporting your local food banks during the government shutdown.

    director of demand generation

    You just gotta love those LinkedIn idiots… I am a protein rotation specialist, also known as a burger flipper at McDonald’s

    The only difference between that example and this woman is that the guy at McDonald’s is doing actual work with actual results where this director of demand generation is a job that is entirely made up and doesn’t do shit.

    Any company having a demand generation director is a huge red flag that should be avoided like the plague

    I work/worked with a few executives I look up to, none of them use linkedin. They all have an account as they must, but that’s it. Talking about e.g., SVP, CEO, CTO leading hundreds or thousands of people.

    I also know one that owns their own consulting firm, taking out a few millions of profit every year, they still have a picture from their previous job and never post, except job openings.

    I absolutely despise current linkedin, it used to be a platform to connect with colleagues and apply to jobs. Now it’s just one of the N+1 social medias where the algorithm can show you content by narcisstic people you don’t care about. It Freaks me outTM that somebody could look at this dumpster fire and not understand what is the problem with it.

      I knew a C-level who had a social media presence but the company just paid some media manager person to handle it. He had a linkedin, facebook, and a blog. It was all ghost written. He didn’t even read it.

    They should check LinkedIn before asking persons to come in for interviews if that’s their requirement. Save everyone some time

        Oh, they should post furry yiff porn with the hashtags ThoughtLeadership. Add some human generated text about being a thought leader by posting outside the box and wonder why no one seems to be posting their favorite yiff porn.

    If I could not post on LinkedIn more strongly I would. Maybe I should start hacking into accounts to delete their posts

        The other half are worse: people shouting nonsense at each other.

        Not even whimsical nonsense, just nonsense about the maximally efficient way to exchange your labor and/or morality for the idea of financial security.

    Well, at least I have a spine and refuse to go with the flow. No Facebook, LinkedIn, Xitter or whatever that sewer is called these days and I’m just fine with that. Just a bit of Lemmy for some discussions and memes, but fuck having to share everything you do.
