Getting laid off is so embarrassing? All these ex-coworkers I've never interacted with are suddenly looking at my LinkedIn

If it really bothers you and you’ll never talk to them again, block them. It really doesn’t matter if you block them. You could’ve deleted your profile for all they know.

🙁 I’m sorry to hear that

Sorry to hear you got hit. Don’t take it as an insult though. Seriously. Their’s is actually a very human response:

They’re viewing the carnage and praying they’re not next.

To AD1’s point though, the least they can do is offer to help.

Hell, even the 4 protagonists called the cops after they completed their quest to find Ray Brower’s body.

I won’t lie. I’ve done it — cruised LinkedIn after layoffs.

But only b/c we had layoffs and it wasn’t announced. Even people who worked directly with those affected weren’t told.

Just all of the sudden, there was a new account person handling that client, or a strategist just wasn’t on the team anymore.

We used LinkedIn to try to figure out who was gone — but didn’t reach out to anyone in case it wasn’t true.

If someone POSTED about being open to work or being laid off, I interacted.

I’ll still go by a few profiles every so often to see if people have gotten new opportunities or if they’re actively asking for anything.

But if I don’t have anything to offer, I don’t reach out.

Real question, though: does people cruising your page help you to come up in other’s algorithm who have profiles like theirs?

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
