I enjoy my privacy and try to keep my online footprint to a minimum. So on LinkedIn, I don't exist. I have other social media accounts, but posts or interactions are nearly non-existent. They also have incorrect info about me in the "about" sections. So, I guess that means I won't get any interviews unless I start checking in everywhere, post photos of my dinner, and like a few other people's posts.

I think this says more about his company than anything else.

Nowadays LinkedIn has too much politics and fake news to be enjoyable anymore. But why should I share company stuff when I try to find a new position? This would show that I want to stay in my current dead end position.

“Cofounder” - podcasts don’t count bro

OMG, I cant freaking stand these people who think they are delivering these “Key insights about work or life”. They don’t know any more than the rest of us and they do it just for social media clout.

Additional Posts in LinkedIn Cringe

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".

This is the very definition of privilege

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.

..all while the comments are filled with blind support

Biggest cringe for me has got to be when people include “ex-<company name>” in their title… see it for loads of the big 4 firms and I’m thinking wow you must love slave drivers that underappreciate you 🤣

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.
