LinkedIn is an Op. Do not use.

And just wait until you attempt to close your Linked In account... much like facebook... they'll retain every single thing you ever uploaded, refuse to close your account, share your info with pretty much anyone who asks, and you won't find a single link anywhere to connect you with a human support person.
@nixCraft@mastodon.social This is also why I follow Aerial Resupply Coffee on LinkedIn.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Boy do I want to repost this one on my LinkedIn profileβ¦
@nixCraft@mastodon.social Upon retirement, deleting LinkedIn was a pleasure. But not as good as deleting Slack. It feels like tumors have been removed from my brain.

There are 1.5 things that LinkedIn can be useful for.
a) itβs a self-updating address book. I typically invite new business contact - customer or business partners - there
b) sometimes I look up new people in upcoming meetings.
Posts are total business bs. Some marketing people believe that advertising there works and say they have the numbers. I know that wouldnβt work on myself. I tend to ignore the activity feed.

this is gold.
i remember all those 1990s books about how βgoodβ sociopaths make great CEOs. well this is the hellscape the world has created by empowering people whose whole identity is to hate other people.

I just recently told a colleague that there are mostly just two types of people on linked-in and every similar network. People who stalk former colleagues or employees in the hopes to see how bad they're doing and braggers who brag about how shitty they're to their colleagues or employees.

LinkedIn might also be useful as a jobmarket. I havenβt had success there. What Iβve seen is:
1) job offerings that are not real but for marketing
2) 3rd party head hunters that try to match people with job offerings where I ask myself how in the world they think I would fit a position.
