”I am happy to announce that I'll be joining ABC as an incoming...” [logo of the company] and a new job title ”Incoming....” I am not jealous, it's just an observation.
Do it for the professional gram
Because they’re insecure as fuck, and their only form of acceptance depends on the validation from others.
Because it’s social media and part of the function of social media is to be a platform for narcissism
LinkedIn is the new Facebook
Just to get assertion of their accomplishments (puny) from others. Typical social media era.
Still better than posting “my dog just pooped” on Instagram 😂
Maybe they are proud of what they have accomplished and you are jealous :)
lol. I am not jealous, I just noticed it.
Found one guy who does that 🤣
Building your own brand (well known company), or just keeping your professional network up to date on what's going on with you? Tbh makes a lot more sense to me than equivalent behavior on other types of social media
Fair enough.
The network piece makes sense, but building your own brand with labels is one of the weaker ways to do so. It's basically entry level stuff, which is why you mostly see new college grads doing this. They don't have much of a brand yet, but hopefully they do realize it will take more than that.
Is there an outgoing ...? Maybe I should post one when I got fired
Insecurity?
I'm not sure, but it seems to be a new thing on LinkedIn. Just search for ”I am happy to announce” under contents.
