Hi, question on rent. My rent was 3000 and the property management had raised the rent to $3500 when I signed the renewal(6months lease) in April. However, at the time there was an error for the site that had link to the rent renewal and I never got to sign it. And also they never changed the “due amount” to $3500 on the payment website and I just kept paying $3000 for 4th and I heard nothing from the management.

I think we’re seeing all these posts because LinkedIn “training” is telling people that they should post 3 types of content rotating.

2. Something about the broader industry you’re in
3. Something personal to you that is still somehow related to your job/industry

I’ve never posted the third type but I’m not a LinkedIn “influencer”
