I’ve worked so many jobs and had so many different managers it’s fun for me to compare and contract their leadership styles and how I react

What do you stand to gain by posting this?

I’m not giga brain but I do get 10 recruiter a week reaching out to me so I have a lot of opportunities to choose from which empowers me to speak more freely on my LinkedIn.

If I saw this when I looked through linkedin post interview - I wouldn’t hire you.

Ok maybe I’ll delete it. I have a tendency to publish my memes on LinkedIn and then the dicier ones I do delete so I don’t scare away hiring managers, but the people who know me get to see my true colors

I delete this one too. Got some feedback on the rate I was offered of $130k in Cupertino.

I thought it was funny because I’m petty like that.

I wouldn’t have posted it on LI though lol

There’s times when I post some and regret it. 6 months ago I posted about all the recruiter offers I got in 2022 compared to the same recruiting companies reaching out in 2024 and publicly displayed companies salary regression for me.

When posting it I thought it would display my worth, as the rates I was being offered in 2024 were still rather high, but idk. Talking about salaries is awkward for me since I get quite a bit of high paying opportunities that land in my inbox compared to most the people in my life, which I’m grateful for, but it’s isolating. I do lean on social media as quite a crutch to find community in this feeling, which isn’t always the best and my motives aren’t always the purest. I’ve been fired a lot from job already for communication issues with management, so my psyche around authority is unstable to say the least.

Is there any policy, like you have to work for X years to be eligible for promotion etc.

Thanks in advance.

Additional Posts in LinkedIn Cringe

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

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. Truly inspirational when you work hard

Able to become a product manager at Google and STILL not comprehend how misleading the race aggregation stat is “Black women make 58 cents to every $1 a white man makes!” not taking into account job choice and individual opportunity.
