Is it red flag that people I work with day to day have totally different profile pics in LinkedIn? Maybe 10+ years younger and 20lbs + lighter? How often should we change profile pics?

Oh, fantastic. Another utterly credible tale from the front lines of corporate America. Because as we all know, the standard layoff procedure is definitely to send a casual memo that looks like it was designed in Microsoft Word '95.

What a brilliant, original clout farming strategy! Who needs integrity when you can just paste a logo onto a document and spin a yarn that completely trivializes the actual trauma of unemployment?
