After 25 years with a company I was laid off in May-2022. I held a job title that was somewhat generic but a Business Title that was very specific as the Global Head of XXX. After I left a peer was asked to step in my place (newish employee, friends with new management) Today noticed on LinkedIn, he has listed my specific role as Global Head of XXX, starting Sept 2021. I realize I can’t police people’s LI but I am furious because this calls into doubt my own work record. Just venting.

For what it’s worth I don’t think it matters, people lie all the time. What matters is the experience *you* had and you can talk to. Also no one else is going to cross check that info. You got this

I don't think that any employer that you are applying to will go back and look at the employees of your previous company to verify your title. When they do your background check them with know that your timeline is correct.

Check with a lawyer about age discrimination. It may be illegal to lay someone off just to fill the role with a younger person.

Hoenstly I don't know that there is anything you can do about this but I do understand your frustrations OP. You could definitely check with an attorney and see about age discrimination although that is really hard to prove. So sorry you are dealing with this.

Wondering when if anyone else felt similar and decided to pull back and do something more relaxing. What was the catalyst, what are you doing, and are you enjoying it?

I'd considered taking up a 9-5 somewhere but not sure if thatd wear off fast.
