Recently logged into LinkedIn and realized it is full of self-boasting posts with unlimited fairy tale stories. Is it just me or do you guys also feel annoyed at the self promotions, social service, men appreciating their wife's hard work, proud to be in X company because they sent me 10$ holiday gift card posts.
Yeah HRs love those stupid self-boasting posts, make them feel good.
My feed is filled with engineers from FAANG-MULA doing the same
Yes, and these engineers want to make HRs feel good.
I quit LinkedIn bcoz of this
Problem is it actually works.
Have examples? Curious.
Basically pretend you are happy and successful is far better than being happy now, people will treat you as someone who is successful and happy so there is no difference in lying.
I agree shameless self promotion is annoying. I just scroll by those post.
What's the killer combo from the LGBTQIA alphabet soup for the best FAANG offer? Tbh, I'd milk it too if I weren't a white guy that, according to many, must have been born with a silver spoon.
wow and wow
Gay black women that fled homophobic kenya
How about brown man? I am a bald light brown man
My imagination pictured that wrong.
I have seen so many people that have worked with me who don’t know T of tech boasts themselves as CTOs and Divisional CIOs. Similarly high level folks who doesn’t give shit about people project themselves as people leaders. Looks like LinkedIn has become Facebook for professionals. Fact check should be a feature of LinkedIn. I keep thinking what if someone expose these fake posts. I resisted myself many times but interestingly it works . These fake people made lot of progress in their careers and i am even thinking of adapting to it. 🤪
I've seen a 'cmo in training' as a title recently. Their actual title is marketing manager
LinkedIn has a feature where you can unfollow and still stay connected
I stopped reading at feminism, what is this the 80s?

Thanks kush. Haha. I agree though. I have unfollowed everyone who shows up mostly because it’s all social media garbage.

Who are these retards asking for dictatorship in India?
I notice it. I don’t participate in it. I don’t mind it. It is a self-promotion platform, so the fact that some people on there self-promote doesn’t bug me 🤷🏻♂️
What about all the fake awards and trophies? Seems every website now has a "30 under 30". Half my contacts have some bullshit award but seem to keep moving jobs because the pay is clearly terrible.
