There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".

Never heard of this guy, but he’s still chugging along! Surprised he hasn’t gone LinkedIn viral yet

He babbled about "THE INTERNET" and "DIGITAL" to big companies and agencies, using Wikipedia buzzwords & peddling fear of the unknown, before CEOs/CCOs/CSO's knew anything about ANY of that stuff. And he had a "cool smart guy" (to dumb Americans) accent, "creative" Elton John glasses & wild wardrobe, and dreads, which completed the fraudster starter kit straight off the mannequin. Prob made a a$$load of money outright fooling people, but the world has caught up to him.

His shark-jumping moment was on the wrecking ball a la Miley. Google "Shingy wrecking ball" Pure unintentional hilarity.

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?

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.
