I popped over to #LinkedIn. Frightening. Tanned, toothy bio pics. Long threads of people talking about 'unleashing potential', 'mindsets of power', 'vitality coaching', 'workplace superpowers', 'freeing your energyforce in only 4mins per day,' and one trite cliché after another, 'no i in team,' etc. Seriously, it's like a cult meeting.

Edit: I just noticed that one person lists their current job as 'Chief Inspirer and Ambition-Fulfiller'.
I think I just did a little sick in my mouth.

@Richard_Littler I'd never used it until I started a new role at the beginning of the year. It was being heavily recommended at work for networking in my new role, so I dutifully and optimistically signed up, started to have a look around - and then backed very slowly and very silently away, hoping no-one would see me...

@Eat_Read_Knit @Richard_Littler New role? Is role new talk for job description?

@JosjeT That's pretty much what I was meaning, yes. In my case, different department but same employer.
