This is more of a "Is this cringe?"

Is it a bad idea to turn on the public view of #opentowork on LinkedIn while you're still employed? I recently took a role based on a referral from a former coworker at a previous company, and it's not a good fit at all.

Not cringe, but definitely risky if your current management sees it and then wants to lay you off b/c of it.

AE1 is right in theory - the open to work banner *shouldn't* be visible to recruiters at your current company. How exactly that is determined I do not know.

I have only ever used it after telling my current company that I'm leaving.

One way to be a bit more stealth is, remove your current employer. Change the date on your former employer to make it look like you still work there and then turn on the Open to Work. However, make sure your profile changes are not sent to notify your network.


This way, it will just look like you never updated your LinkedIn profile

And only if it’s not on the internet. Oh wait, it is. Yeah terrible approach.

Yeah don’t do it. Someone will see it and it will become a problem for you in short order.

If you put the banner on, everyone will see it. It may expedite you leaving the job, so if you're ok with that, then do it. Otherwise just put Open to work for recruiters to see.

Recently joined the firm as a project delivery specialist. During recruiting, the team harped on how great my background was and how much a good fit I would be for the firm/project...

Well, I was on an onboarding call and they were talking about staffing and projects. The presenter said to reach out to them if you don’t think your project is a good fit. In his words “you were hired into the firm, not a specific project. We see you here long term... With the exception of PDM model” 😅

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

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".
