I have one. For me, it just means I'm open to listening about other positions, not that I'm necessarily looking. I'm always open to seeing what else is out there.

Let’s be honest—if someone cringes at seeing a professional with an #OpenToWork badge, that says more about them than the person wearing it.

LinkedIn was built for networking, opportunity, and visibility. The badge isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of someone ready to contribute, grow, and bring value.

In a job market this challenging, judging others for being transparent about their search is not only immature—it’s counterproductive.

We should be lifting each other up, not looking down.

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

The son of the owner where I work has been coming to work with a gun showing it off to people. He got into an arguement, put his hands on another employee and threatened to put a 9 bullet in his head. I suspended him and opened an investigation. The owner is mad and feels my case is biased and suspended me. He admitted guild and its not about what happened but why! I need to protect the business & secure the victim to lessen the chance of him reporting this to EEOC or DHL. He's being a dad

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.

I forced my employees to make a fake commercial and take pictures of me proposing - I’m so amazing.

This whole thing is cringe - how proposed after forcing employees to make a fake commercial and attend, calling himself rainmaker, the formatting. Image of the text in comments.

If only he just made a post being excited about being engaged (still not for LinkedIn, but whatever).
