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.

My ex-cd never accepted my invite to connect but would stalk my page a couple of times.

Same thing happened to me. Type of people that slow waaaaaay down at the scene of a car crash, maybe take a quick pic or two.

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?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Motorworks Brewing in Florida did this years ago, and now Uncommon just did the exact same thing for Brewdog beer.

Straight up plagiarism imo. Literally search "adoptable dog on beer can" and the Motorworks stuff comes up, so not googling the idea beforehand is not an excuse.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
