Holy shit. Linkedin people should not make any comments or recommendations about sports whatsoever. I cannot believe how awful these suggestions to discourage tanking in the nba are.

This is not the standard cringe on LinkedIn, but saw this post from the person that does coaching for our company’s leadership and curious if I need to reach out to them because whatever they were told is completely wrong. We have had no such growth at anytime in our company and I know we have no way of measuring the impact of coaching on sales because currently our marketing team can’t even track return on ad spend. It’s just a weird post since I know no aspect of it is true.

Not necessarily a cringe opinion, but a little cringe to post it on LinkedIn and potentially cringe if you see one of your coworkers liked it on LinkedIn
