People sending dating messages, “investment” secrets; posting dog videos and cat pictures. LinkedIn is like a mixed soup of Tinder/ Facebook/ eharmony. Lol!
Interested
LinkedIn feed has become a shit show lately. Too many brags, rags to riches, inspirational crap, and .... Completely useless! Only need the ability to search and view profiles + DMs. They can literally deprecate all other shit and nobody will care
You should realize that all that crap is posted by people, LinkedIn can't do much about it.
Not to mention all the political posts
it is worse than facebook. at least FB meets expectations. on facebook, i expect crap and drama. On linkedin i expect something professional, but get crap.
You forgot the best thing: “Interested Please view my Profile” Smh
Commenting for reach is the worst!
Lately, every Tom, Dick & Harry intern posting about the best 2 or 3 months they ever had in their life at xxxxx company(s).
Like, how interning at company xxxxxx changed their life and blah blah blah
I saw someone post that they have passed the phone screen stage for Goldman Sachs recently. I'm happy for them & yeah, I get it must be exciting for a student. But still way too premature for social media posting. But then again, idk what we can do. We can't arbitrarily censor posts.
I agree. The entire feed is just bragging and inspirational posts.
I could deal with the "Excited to announce..." posts, but now people are writing posts about LEAVING their teams or finishing internships. Wtf?
I actually like the leaving posts (if they've been there a while, thanking people sincerely, include something interesting they achieved, using it for self reflection etc) a lot more than the "excited to announce I'm starting a job in two weeks and wow I'm so humbled and yay!" Like, you haven't done anything at the company or said anything interesting in this post about the company. Either think of something interesting or just let the job notification do it's thing.
YES! I like seeing stuff from Bill Gates and Ray Dalio in that feed, or stuff in my industry, but utterly random junior people joining teams or finishing internships and writing 5 paragraphs about it... why?!
But not unless you hire that one person who nobody wanted to hire, and ended up being a top performer in the team.
