Anyone else ever hit the unfollow button on a LinkedIn connection because their posts/likes/etc. are constantly cringey?

Yes- I unfollow people if I don’t like their profile picture too

Always.

I also unfollowed every one of my contacts who followed or commented on Gary Vee. Thankfully there were only 6 of them.

My LinkedIn has been Gary-Vee-Free for 4 years!

Everything he says and takes credit for appears in articles one or two days before he posts his “insights.” The shear idiocy of is following is astounding.

So if you unfollow people in other social media, why wouldn’t you do the same in LinkedIn? You know you don’t have a binding contract right? In fact, your response to this makes it LinkedIn Cringe itself so congrats on that, full circle

Yep.

One cringey comment usually doesn’t result in an unfollow. But if they regularly start cluttering up my feed with nonsense likes or comments, it’s 👋

Absolutely. In fact I did on two connections this morning.

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.
