Hey OP, yes - I feel this way every time I checked LinkedIn. Try to remember you aren’t seeing the whole picture - when I feel bad that I haven’t gone as far as I’d hoped, I remind myself that I’ve also had to deal with a lot of health issues that others haven’t, plus major family issues. I’ve had a lot of roadblocks. And honestly, I’m not willing to sacrifice my health and wellbeing in the same way that I see the “superstars” do. So once I go down that road I realize I’m not comparing apples to apples.

You got this and your journey is yours alone

Biggest cringe for me has got to be when people include “ex-<company name>” in their title… see it for loads of the big 4 firms and I’m thinking wow you must love slave drivers that underappreciate you 🤣

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. Truly inspirational when you work hard

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.

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".

LinkedIn is going full boomer-Facebook complete with pictures of a computer screen rather than a screenshot or “share” 😐 comments were fun too.
