Not exactly the same, but I once attended a work call when I was staying with my Dad after he had a knee replacement. He had decided to "tough it out" and not take painkillers, and during the call he started screaming "kill me! oh god kill me!" because of the pain, quite loud enough to be heard by everyone on the call. My boss said "it's OK, ChickenLady, this call isn't that important. Go ahead and kill your father."
I honestly think that humor is the answer to most if not all issues. Bit iffy since we don't share the same but humor is the answer. That and puppies and kittens....
Edit: and elephants!
People take what they love. Username checks out
I'm in the corporate world, I'm a hiring manager. I refuse to have a linkedin. Everyone says they wish they could do the same - then do it. Do the same. Nothing happened to me, nothing will happen to you other than your life being better because you aren't on Linkedin.
edit: grammar
The problem is that there isn't anything better for job seekers.
I really wish there was one. I'm looking around right now and I wish there was a better alternative
The problem is corporate culture. LinkedIn is merely reflecting it. Any other platform for job seekers would have the same issues.
I only use linked in every few years when I job hop. Literally the only reason I refuse to get rid of it entirely is that I doubled my salary the time I got a job.
That seems so weird. Linked in is simply a way to connect with co-workers so you can contact them when you're no longer at the same job. I don't have them in my Facebook, I didn't have them in my phone, but if I want to contact them for connections or anything, LinkedIn is the place for that. How much you interact with the posting garbage is entirely up to you. I do it extremely little and I have no problem with LinkedIn.
Do he same.
Amen brother.
Amen.
I recently deleted my LinkedIn for two reasons:
Endless horseshit recruiters coming at me with bullshit jobs
I come from a large firm. LinkedIn became what I would describe as occupational hubris as I would see partners from there making prideful post after post about increasing the toxicity of the place in words that made them sound all wise and stuff
I would further see many posts about young people abandoning pursuit of the profession and there being a dire shortage of entry level recruits. Responses to these posts always address lowering the educational and certification requirements, but never address the reality of working eighty hours a week, getting shat on, berated, and dehumanized the entire time for about sixty grand a year with maybe a five to ten percent chance of moving up to the real money.
Fuck all of them right in the eyeball with the white hot barbed penis of Satan himself.
Every once in a while, I'll drive by that building. When I do, I open up the sun roof and throw them a Bronx salute out the roof as I pass by. I know somebody actually saw me do it because word got back to me about it. Petty I know, but satisfying nonetheless.
I make maybe one third of what I could if I had stuck it out, but I still make plenty to live on, and that increase would require me to be somebody I refuse to become.
I'm very mean to LinkedIn recruiters. I always let them pitch the job, but I always say "please review my job experience first, I don't appreciate my time wasted".
And usually my response is something like "What the hell made you think that pitching this IT Technician job to someone with the current job title of Senior Project Manager was a good idea? When I asked you to read through my job experience, I guess I made the mistake of thinking you could read."
If they actually knew the industry, they'd try to pitch you a job as goat herder.
Oh man, that would have sounded so nice when I was still working in the industry.
I could just picture being stuck on site being berated in the middle of the night since some far away NOC thought deleting the switch configuration files was a good idea (again) and getting the offer to be a goat herder.
"Wait your telling me no human contact at all? Comes with a hut? Many KMs from the nearest technology?"
60k US a year for 8 hours a week getting berated ? Where do I ducking sign ?
Eighty not eight. I didn't even typo that.
eight zero, friend
Ah well that's not worth it even if they were nice about it
LinkedIn is the human centipede of social media.
yeah, like the social media for the villains in every horror movie. Like this is 100% where the guy from saw posts about the method to get the most fear out of a trap.
The thing I find weird is when people start interacting with weird Facebook-y political posts, and interacting with them in a pretty strong way. In my mind, LinkedIn is a picture of what you're like to work with, it's how you present yourself to prospective co-workers.
I am almost appreciative that Linkedin just overtly embraces the synthetic and manufactured cultural dance we do in business, like nobody expects anyone to do anything but show their most pretentious and carefully cultivated images. You don't log into Linkedin expecting to see a video of Uncle Jim ranting from the front seat of his truck about immigrants, and that's almost beautiful.
It brings me back to an age when people actually tried to conform just a little for the sake of social progress, people kept their shit to themselves and worked to be part of a system. It was as close as we ever were to being even remotely socially conscious.
I like the sentiment about social consciousness, but LinkedIn is absolutely not a vision of anything I would want to go back to. 😅
Those people who do that, will also definitely do that in the workplace. You're getting an accurate image of the person.
Sounds like a self solving issue
This is missing the super cool and interesting formatting.
Every post on LinkedIn must be formatted for maximum visibility.
The way to do that is by putting a line break after every sentence.
Like this.
all managers are bastards
I'm a floor manager at a bar... what'd I do?
Why does the floor need a manager? It just has to lie there holding shit up.
You need to move to Australia to be promoted to ceiling manager
Ragebait.
Linkedin is really full of "return to office" propaganda though
Its satire
#heartwarming
I'm so glad I haven't had to deal with the lifemaxxing sigma grindset types since highschool

It's a controversial take, OP, but I agree. The world does need more women like Nasim Najafi Aghdam!
Linkedin is the worse social media out there even twitter isn't that bad compared to it.
