Here's the litmus test IMO - LinkedIn is a social platform for careers and career oriented networking and communications. Imagine your employer - or if you are out of work, a formal career fair with a number of recruiters present - would you walk up to ppl at either kind of event and, face to face, share the information such as what's in the post? I think for 99% of us - neurodivergent or not! - would reasonably say no - a bunch of co workers who don't know me and/or professional recruiters don't need to know what's here. And we're allowed to cringe at this kind of over sharing because these posters make a conscious choice - you can either choose to post to just your network - just ppl you have some connection to - or the entire dang LI platform. If you do the latter, it's fully public. And so here we are, in the LI Cringe bowl. An anonymous forum where some of us can collectively vent about the insane erosion of what ppl can or should be sharing on LI. Not in any gatekeeping way, but in a "Jeebus Xmas, can you believe this?!?" kind of way. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

There does seem to be a flavor of LI post as of late best classified as "I'm at the end of my rope so I'll just scream into the void"

“Desperate for attention” is now considered “sharing your truth.”

Hey. I think that mentioning AuDHD in the section below is noteworthy. People who are neurodivergent tend to be more direct and open. Not sure shaming someone who has also clearly noted that they are ADHD / Autistic is the kindest move.

You are correct but it’s still 😬😬😬😬😬😬

1. It’s a natural process. You should rewire your thinking.
2. The only thing cringe about the post is that she’s baiting this to get a job. Other than that it could be a testimony to encourage or inspire someone else going through a similar thing.

It sounds like she’s really going through it. I don’t think it will help her career, but hopefully no one will judge her by it. She’s human, and experiencing A LOT of stress right now. Hopefully people will be compassionate.

While I agree that posting about that is normally as it is a normal bodily function however I don't think LinkedIn is the most appropriate place to post it. I feel like it is more appropriate on a less formal social media platform.

Normalising talking about menopause is probably a good thing. We should only consider whether the entire post is cringe worthy not just that section. As a post as a whole, nothing wrong with including the meno bit, but not sure the entire post was for linkedin more other apps.

There’s nothing wrong with talking about surviving menopause just like other people talking about surviving cancer.

Omg

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.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.
