Need some LinkedIn advice. I ended my full-time job and started a contract gig, while also doing a freelance project for another agency, this timing was not ideal. The place I’m doing a 6-month contract for is all about us posting on LinkedIn about their product (specifically ask us to). I feel uncomfortable doing this because my freelance project is a mess (not of my doing) and I’m just not sold on the place yet. What would YOU put on your LinkedIn for your current role if you were in my shoes?

Don’t put anything. Just keep forgetting to post on it.

If they corner you and ask why you don’t, tell them that LinkedIn is a cesspool so you’re never on it.

(It is and I’m personally rarely ever on it b/c of that)

As a long time freelancer, it’s pretty strange they would expect that of you. Def agree with the above post, you don’t need to do it.

Is it in the contract? No? Then no.

Thank you all. It annoyed me too. I also don’t like going on LI.

Don't do it if you don't want to. Just ignore the emails/DMs asking you to. Until they confront you face to face on a call or IRL, you can just ignore them. And if you they do ask you face to face, just say, "I'm not comfortable with that." And that will be the end of it.

No. Just say you don't post work stuff on your personal page. Also, most places have a rule against it anyway.
