what do people use LinkedIn for?
-
yesterday an article popped up in my instance with a linkedin link and I asked a similar question to myself.
@elifyalvac @sean_ae they forgot “digital creator”
-
@ben most of these would make good track titles for a techno album
-
@sean_ae I guess there are also individuals who use it to "build their brand" but all of my colleagues just have it because they "have to." They all want to delete but few actually do.

@sean_ae Signaling to my management that I'm a flight risk by updating my resume.

@sean_ae My experience: I've been approached by HR departments a few times with legit offers. The platform is also useful to monitor opening positions and getting job alerts in your field. Apart from that, drama and weirdness exists but choosing who to follow (seasoned professionals in my case) can be pretty curated and sane. I've read interesting articles and opinion pieces as well, mostly from industry leaders.
Could I live without it? Sure.

@sean_ae shit like "I went to a job interview today. In front of the building, there was a dog begging for food. I turned around and walked 4 kms for some food, and was 30 mins late to the interview. Turns out, the dog was the CEO of the company. Moral of the story: always be kind." and they type like they put a . after every 2 words honestly mad people

@sean_ae It's an echo chamber owned by Microsoft that business people use to feed the data collector sorcerers.

@exinith i thought that was what instagram was for

@billygomberg @sean_ae @exinith instagram is for unemployed depression, linkedin is for job related depression.

@sean_ae to pretend to be AI spam bots, I presume.

@lislegaard @sean_ae this is an accurate assessment. In the US, you can guarantee that if you’re trying to get a job anyplace even a little corporate, this is the first place they’ll check up on you. Same with salespeople finding out about who to stalk.
@logickal @lislegaard @sean_ae it's become increasingly worthless to the point that, as a director of sales, I've gotten rid of linkedin. No one real actually looks at it. It's either skimmed poorly by AI, or an army of salesforce cadets who were all promised they'd make amazing commissions and little pay if they go and spam everyone they possibly can on linkedin with AI giving them "targets" with very unreliably accuracy. It's all just stupid. Very Microsoft, such wow.

@sean_ae just a bunch of people trying to out-corpo each other from what I can tell.. was talking to my partner today how I find the concept quite morbid if that's the right word for it.. obv most socials are p rotten, but there's something really off putting in the way linkedin is designed and how interviewers look at you when you say you don't use it. Like it's a pre-requisite these days to have a polished linkedin profile to even be considered for a bunch of positions.
