So...what exactly is the "fertilizer" this dude is referring to? Working weekends? Fewer meetings? (I could get behind that one TBH)

So the fertilizer is… vague metaphors and weekend burnout? Got it. Just waiting for someone to drop a spreadsheet that tracks sprinkler efficiency vs. sales KPIs now.

Pretty sure this sh*tty post is the fertilizer

The fertilizer is LinkedIn posts like that, the sprinklers are the Likes/ Loves/ Celebrates for engagement metrics.

The mitochondria are the hiring managers who hire and/or promote solely based on your LinkedIn profile.

Sell-You-More activity analogy for the win.

LinkedIn is going full boomer-Facebook complete with pictures of a computer screen rather than a screenshot or “share” 😐 comments were fun too.

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.

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

Does anyone else feel that the more content someone puts in their LinkedIn headline, the more full of it they are? I say this as someone with a bunch of stuff lol but at least it’s all at one company and accurate.

I’m talking mostly about two kinds of people. 1. The influencer who is actually unemployed, but lists 25 BS things they do
2. The brand collector, who writes “ex-“ for every former company they worked at and school they went to. Maybe less full of it but still insufferable.
