"I re-shared a posted LinkedIn position for a Corporate Strategy / Business Development role that I am hiring for, and I woke up to more than 50 messages from entry-level people from India asking about the role. They'll all IT and pitching their IT skills to me… I'm not hiring a SWE. The job is marke"

"She was really hot and the sex was great, but she hates me now because I used her LinkedIn to find out where she works and showed up with flowers.

"if anyone doubts the veracity of this story i have all the receipts, which i like to look at from time to time to keep me on god's path. anyway, i thought that was the end, except that THREE years ago (8 full years after yonigate, and 9 full years after the lockjaw incident itself), this guy somehow"
"Why are you talking about time management? Professional growth? Context-dependent and transferable knowledge? And why are you using emojis instead of bullet points?"

"Reading Linkedin about how employees (themselves middle management white collar drones) are putting companies "on watch" for the tech lay offs that are consuming the industry."
"Just graduated college and it's fun seeing all the jerkoffs who are trying their best to write a post where they humble brag about their new job. It honestly gives me a much better idea of who is fun to hang out with than insta bc if I ever see you make a sincere LinkedIn post I know ur a fucking do"
"all linkedin posts sounds the same it's like it's own language. I feel like a npc when writing something, it's not just hr speak it's its own beast. everything has to be in the affirmative and using action words every new sentence. you can't use your own voice because it might seem unprofessional an"
"Who the hell are they even writing these long ass posts for? Who spends their day reading 5 tips to improve productivity with a picture of a quote of Warren Buffet attached or fake stories about how you hired the last applicant standing after you intentionally delayed the interviews by 5 hours?"
"Why do people unironically post on LinkedIn. Sick society"

In addition everyone also appears to be a CEO who took '''massive risks''' (got a new job in HR) on there b"
"If you didn't know better it would be easy to think that tech jobs are the only way you can achieve happiness because of the way people wax poetic on Google/Meta/IDEO on LinkedIn, and that surely working at a place like that is the only way to achieve success/make a living…. It's so bleak but feels "
"Its a shitty necessity for most white collar jobs these days but, especially lately, everyone's kind of losing it right? LinkedIn is looking more like Tumblr and Facebook than the hustle and grind type shit I used to see."
"Today, shortly after waking up, I saw that he had mailed me a personal invite on LinkedIn, which, despite barely using, I promptly accepted. His profile was extremely poorly formatted overall and was full of useless, personal fluff that job recruiters would by and large consider irrelevant."
"In our intensely LinkedIn-ified culture, most people would be uncomfortable finding catharsis in the thought of their workplace exploding, or at least would have trouble admitting it. There's a risk, or an internal uneasiness with consuming any media which might damage their status as an ideal candi"
"several friends and close colleagues posting multiple paragraphs on productivity, being a thought leader, relating personal life experiences to interpersonal skills on the job. it took me a second to realize none of it was satire."

"Obviously all social media sucks. But there is a specific flavor to LinkedIn that makes my blood boil. Somehow it is the most fake platform. All these posts have the same template. 'Excited to announce that I have accepted a position with ____. I want to everyone who helped me along the journey. Can"
"I've accomplished nothing meaningful in life, not even get a girlfriend (which a crust punk from Bushwick can easily do), only accumulate pointless accolades for Linkedin."
"No, you're not. Your team has a vacancy and you're a status seeking loser posting on LinkedIn. It's not your company. You were hired 6 months ago and work from home 35 hours a week."
"I know there are a lot of other competitors but LI takes the cake. Looking at my feed gives me near-instant brainrot, I can hardly stomach more than a minute or so. All the self-adulation, humblebragging, clout chasing, PR bullshit and people talking out of their asses about shit they barely grasp b"
"This shit is not a meritocracy any more. It's about who you know and how you are perceived. The LinkedIn slop poster has better odds than the guy who regularly contributes to the linux kernel."
"I have been applying for jobs over the past few months—Clicking on the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn and Indeed every day, just to not hear back from the Employer ninety percent of the time."

"His Instagram is public, I look at it, I look at his Twitter, I look to see where he lives on Zillow, look at his parents social media, his LinkedIn, etc. I basically hoard information about him."
"It might just be a cope, because I'm bad at self-commodification and linked-In networking (I refuse, on account of my own moral compass and also being a bitter cunt)."
"Ive come across so many people in finance that take themselves way too seriously. People who live and breath business. They love working. It's all literally all they do. Anyway I think I might start seriously harassing them on LinkedIn with a fake account, while billing them $250/hr for my time."
