I’m starting a new position and updating my LI profile. I don’t want to slight my old company but don’t want to include them in my announcement. Thoughts on wording it tactfully?

Genuinely curious why you are posting anything? Just change your job title and be done with it.

Can someone help me understand the rationale behind these posts other than narcissism?

When you add the new employer it will literally alert your network automatically. No need to write anything tactfully or otherwise. What’s the point of writing something? No one actually gives a sh*t.

If you truly want to thank someone, and aren’t doing it for the attention, then send them a message. This is not cringey.

If you think “no, a personal message of thanks isn’t what I’m going for,” then you don’t actually want to thank them, you just want others to see you thanking them. This is cringey.

Why are you announcing??? I would only announce if I own the company. You are given these organizations free marketing IMO!!

Lots of insights here and I appreciate it all. I’m genuinely excited about this new company so yep, I’ll announce it. It’s not like I’ll be writing a novel, just a couple sentences. Sorry for the cringe factor. Keep scrolling but don’t dump on other peoples excitement. Maybe I’m in the minority but I also celebrate when people post that they’ve accepted a new position bc 1) maybe they’re getting a promotion and that’s exciting 2) making a change can be scary for folks and that’s brave 3) someone may be fueling their passion and again, that’s exciting 4) why not??!
What’s cringe is being too cool to share in someone’s excitement.
